Sir, We need to formulate laws for Individual Rating and all contributor to the economy will be benefited. Point based rating and on accumulation of certain point government may formulate system to get en-cash able rating certificate. Special attention to be given for those person whose rating is below satisfactory level. Points for good karma and negative points for bad karma based rating need to be done. Getting of statutory clearance/assistance need ore-specified minimum rating.

Addiction to any drug/alcohol, primary cause is mental instability. School teacher especially teaching VIII to XII & UG should be trained to diagnose early symptoms towards such weakness. We can also develop & conduct aptitude test which will be able to indicate likely hood of addiction. (in similar lines of career guidance). Deaddiction centers are very few. Their numbers to be increased. Govt campaign that addiction is a disease & people suffering r accepted by society and treated.

Sir, Drugs are outcome of competitive economy. An economic system focused on love and caring will dilute the presence of drugs. Lack of motivational Gurus/ mentor in our society is the main reason. We need social engineers who regularly need to visit individuals and make him do work with motivational support. We need to formulate laws for maintenance of love and caring, instead of Tonnes of negative minded laws, which is capable of doing all wrong things.

First of all Children should be told about Discipline of day to day activities with House elders so that they can watch their activities out of their work so that he will be alert . First & foremost is 1) Reporting to elders by Mobile their movement so that they will feel secure in this e-world . Nowadays Freedom of ladies should be guided . Even late night staying outside without informing the parents /husband is not at all correct . Freedom too much means to go for trying to drugs etc

1. Stop giving of medicines without prescription. Most of the drugs are purchased over the counter. 2. Media, TV, and Press should be having innovative films and ads on this issue. 3. Restrict the entry of hawkers into educational institutions. 4. Devise equipment to check drug intake and implement it in traffic just like the alcohol balloon. 5. Conduct raids on drug joints and also taking of drugs in public places like parks should be banned.

No.1- We cannot reduce the market. No.2- We can reduce the production through an integrated monitoring system. No.3- Commonly we hear Doctors being implicated in Negligence cases. Priority should be to eradicate the quacks who violently prescribe random drugs. No.4- "To consume or not" is an individual's right. Side effects of drugs should be printed on all drugs to reduce the unwarrented consumption.

medicines are the basic life line in critical situations of life but today it is being smuggled in country itself with wrong formulations where the combination is something and it actually contains something else.in pharma industry wholesalers are doing this with amendments in purchase bills and at the retail levels it is being done by hiring of pharmacy licence which should be stricktly stopped and the person with same background of education should run such clinics,wholesale and chemst countr.
