CIRCUALR

In order to evaluate the quality of drugs imported, manufactured and marketed in India, a massive exercise has been conducted by way of survey sampling in which around 50,000 drugs samples have been drawn for testing from across the country under the overall guidance and supervision of Director I/c, NIB, Noida. These Samples have been collected with a view to assessing the extent of spurious and Not of Standard Quality (NSQ) drugs that might be in circulation in the country. In order to accomplish this humongous task of physical examination so as to elicit the veracity of information relating to such drugs samples, 75 Nos. of Drugs Inspectors were initially deputed by CDSCO(HO) and its Zonal offices, etc. to NIB, Noida during the period 11.04.2015 to 30.04.2015. More such deployment of Drugs Inspectors may have to be made in future as well. Due to this, the CDSCO and its field formations may not obviously be able to adhere to the timelines prescribed for disposal of various items of work with reference to its mandated functions. Since the timelines are to be adhered to by CDSCO mandatorily without any exception, all officers/staff are hereby called upon to take up their allocated functions on top priority to ensure that the prescribed timelines are not violated in any manner. If required, all concerned may sit late after office hours and attend office on Saturdays/Sundays/Holidays to dispose of the pending work and ensure that there are no arrears in any Division. The Divisional heads may also see and take appropriate action in the matter under intimation to DCG(I) staff. Anb (Pitam Singh) Dy. Director Admn.(D)
