For the first time ever by a state Government, the Drugs Control Department in Tamil Nadu, has planned for a week long training programme on Drug Regulation and Pharmaceutical Management to the newly recruited drug inspectors.
Areas of focus during this training program will be on the awareness of Drugs & Cosmetics Act, Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substance Act, Evidence Act, CrPC, RTI Act, DPCO, training on Blood Banking and Drugs & Magic Remedies (Objectionable Advertisement) Act.
Trainers for this program will include the staffs of the Drugs Control Department, academic faculties, retired Drug Controllers and specialized officers from the police department.
This recruitment of officers to the state drug control body happens after a long gap of ten years and this training program sounds to be great start for the new recruits.
Wishing the new Drug Inspectors a very good luck!
