.....of property, apparatus, etc., used for the manufacture of such drugs."-S.O.R., Gazette of India, 11-5-1963, Pt. II, S. 2, Ext., page 465. Act 68 of 1982 The Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940, regulates the import into, manufacture, distribution and sale of drugs and cosmetics in the country. The problems of adulteration of drugs and also of production of spurious and sub-standard drugs are posing serious threat to the health of the community. It is, therefore, considered necessary to amend the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, so as to impose more stringent penalties on the anti-social elements indulging in the manufacture or sale of adulterated or spurious drugs or drugs not of standard quality which are likely to cause death or grievous hurt to the user. This opportunity is also being availed of to incorporate certain other provisions on the other aspects of effective control on the manufacture, distribution, sale of drugs and cosmetics on the basis of experience gained in the working of the Act. 2. Some of the important proposals envisaged are set out below:- (1) (a) Widening of the definition of the expression 'cosmetics' so as to bring within its scope 'tiolet soaps' in order.....

INTRODUCTION In the beginning of the current century, Drug Industry was virtually non-existent in India and Pharmaceuticals were imported from abroad.

Chopra which was asked to make shifting enquiries into the whole matter of drug production, distribution and sale by inviting opinions and meeting concerned people and it was also asked to make recommendations about the ways and means of controlling the production of sale in the interest of public health.
