Hi Abhishek!
Actually, it depends on various factors. You need to weigh the pros and cons of both the professions. Also, you need to figure out your interests. I would say pharmacy is a better profession because first of all, it is a prestigious profession as Pharmacist are said to be Half-doctor. Secondly, after pursuing Pharmacy, you have good career options like you can get into Marketing field or in the sales field, the production department and even the research department or be an entrepreneur as getting the pharmacy license will help you open up a medicine shop. And if you have a business mind, can see the right place where to set up the shop, your business will never falter, especially near a multi-speciality hospital for example. And the third and the most important point is, this industry can never be hit by the recession!
