awareness and providing livelihood will be a fcator for a change. more  
drug menace like individual reactions and anaphylaxis is not within the reach of governmental agency or medical fraternity. But most of the drugs available is duplicated and sold in the market. government must stop calling for tender quotations for drugs and medical equipment. Lowest rate with false specifications will only produce bad results and may also land the patients in death bed.only research products are to be made available in the market. Companies have sprouted up producing many brands without any standardization.Many deaths are in the hospitals are due to sub standard drugs available in the hospitals supplied by the government drug department. 1) not to call for tender quotations for drugs. 2) Research products only to be encouraged. Imitator y products are to be well standardized before letting it to market. 3)quality assurance to be made more advanced and only after clinical trials. 4)want of raw products to manufacture life saving drugs to be made available to manufacturers at subsidized prices by the Government. 5)Distribution - is to be looked after as there are chances of pushing the duplicate products during transport are seen. 6)Counter selling of the drugs by the pharmacist is to be totally banned. 7)all drug duplication and substandard drugs if known must be treated with criminal laws. 8)Government Hospitals to be given free hand in purchase of drugs and make the heads of those institutions for any untoward reactions., this will avoid mass distribution og substandard drugs. 9) Licencing of the companies, the distributors and retail drug stores to be made more stricter. 10)STOP TENDER QUOTATIONS FOR DRUGS AND ALL DRUGS AVAILABLE AT LOWEST RATE IS NOT A STANDARD PRODUCT. tENDER FOR DRUGS MEANS TENDER FOR HUMAN LIFE. more

As you are aware, after exhausting all our channels for implementation of Board Resolution, Writs were filed in Jaipur High Court and the learned Judge upheld the same vide historic Judgment dated 12.1.2010. LIC’s Appeal in Division Bench and subsequent Review Petition were dismissed. Hon’ble High Courts of Punjab & Haryana, Chandigarh and HC of Delhi have also allowed similar writs on the lines of Jaipur Judgment, with further orders by Punjab & Haryana allowing 12% interest for late payment, and Delhi HC allowing implementation ‘in rem’. LIC filed SLPs in the Supreme Court which too were dismissed. Though the revised SLPs filed by LIC were converted into Civil Appeals, the Hon’ble **Supreme Court** passed the following orders on 19.8.13, 30.9.13 & 8.10.2013 while disposing off SLPs filed by LIC against the orders of three High Courts:* *“There shall be no stay of the directions given by the learned single Judge vide order dated 12.01.2010 passed in S.B.CWP No.6676 of 1998 and connected matter.”, connected matter meaning CWP No.654 of 2007 regarding upgradation of pension).* *It would be pertinent to mention that Central and State Govts revise the pension as and when pay scales of their employees is revised on the recommendations of successive Pay Commission Reports. LIC Board passed a Resolution in 2001 and we expect the present Management respect its own Board Resolution and above all honour the Supreme Court / High Courts clear cut orders, and desist from dragging the super seniors in unnecessary further litigation, which will be against the Central Govt’s own National Litigation Policy, which the present Govt wants to implement in letter & spirit .* *Out of about 47,000 pensioners more than 13,000 are Family pensioners indicating such large number of deaths have taken & are taking place. Who will wipe the tears of the widow ? Family Pensioners ratio to Regular pensioners has jumped from 17% to 36%.This is a sad commentary on present state of affairs. Majority of those who are surviving are in the age group of 70-80 and above. With high cost of living, persistent inflation and ever increasing medical bills, they are being deprived of equity & justice for the last over 15 years. All are proud of our contribution of laying very sound foundation of the mighty Institution, but we are dismayed by the indifferent and unhelpful attitude of the management& UOI in paying the overdue retrial benefits of updation of pension & removal of DA anomaly to the retired employees.* *Through this Memorandum,** on** AIRIEF FOUNDERS DAY**,18 year young, we earnestly appeal to you to honour so many successive Court orders from eminent Hon Judges and uphold the sanctity of its own Board’s Resolution , accept & immediately implement Hon SJ Bhandari’s Jaipur HC umbrella judgment with twin benefits of successive pension upgradation & Full DR to pre-8/1997 pensioners, which the Hon SC Bench in its clarificatory Order dt 17 October, 2012 laid down “pay retrial benefits from the date of eligibility”, meaning date of retirement.* * Divisional Secretary* *5th,December2014 * On Sat, Nov 29, 2014 at 9:52 AM, Rajendra Pratap Gupta < support@localcirclesmail.com> wrote: > more  
About 30% drugs are substandard . Let there be free-lance type or private agencies those should look after the game . Inspector from Govt are too corrupt in this regards.
