I would add another option E) All the above which also includes "Persons knowing all this and yet do not act to change them!" [ Not students having cell phones though. How can students access great information from sites such as pharmainfo.net at college without cell phones ;) ]

Firstly i would say, the first three options had really put me into mortification since it will definitely become a biased option if i choose any one of them...yes!!! i mean it....since every coin has two sides i believe first three options have their own effects and side effects as well, like a therapeutically active drug have .... but we cant avoid using the drug since it has drawbacks and say all drugs are like such...right???

Well coming to option A) Incorrupt politician, since the leaders are elected on average voting, who take the oath that they "discharge the functions and will to the best of their ability preserve, protect and defend the Constitution and the law, and that they will devote them selves to the service and well-being of the people of Republic of India" but there are few but not all, who despise the rules of Constitution, some in many may be corrupted, but as said "Every cloud has a silver lining" there are atleast some who are incorrupted, but its difficult to find the silver lining in the cloud of this corruption.

B) we had a cartoon discussion also regarding this option, i feel a pharmacist means not the only the person who owns a medical shop, but he has something to do more than that. When that is to be done, then he cant sit at medical shop (of course can guide). But i, upto my practical experience would say that there is at least literate who has enough knowledge regarding the dispensing of medicines and instructing the patients and in most of the stores we find trained candidates, diploma persons (given a designation of pharmacist), chemists and druggists taking care of.

C) Doctor in government hospitals of villages, with changing world, there had been a shift in paradigm where the villagers prefer to consult a city/private doctor rather going to a government doctor, though the same doctor acts as govt. and private doctor as well (if am not wrong). When the patient to be treated has wandered then what can a doctor do sit at the same village without any cases. This is one case. There are some other cases, where the people rely only on the government doctor, for instance i had an experience where i had taken my grand mother, the response of some doctors really frustrated us, (with respect to their availability only for certain period of time), while the response of few doctors (where they really committed to serve the government and followed the strict rules and timings) really made us to call them gods. In most of the cases, if we talk about reality, the doctors, even in villages are playing a dual role, looking after the government hospital as well their private clinics. So, there would have been a definite answer if the option was changed to doctor in government hospitals in villages without a private clinic.

D) Finally we reached the corner of answer, college student without a cell, the people had preferred cells firstly as their source for communication, but owing to advanced technologies, and the prices getting lowered they started preferring cells not only as a source of communication but also in a safety perspective (since they care their relationships), and humans, being born intelligent they extended the use of a single cell to a multipurpose things like internet, SMS, MMS, what not???...... SO, i say first three answers anyways has their own effects and side effects, answer D) college student without cell, may be the most unbiased appropriate of all the given options.

The answer is very clear and straight..its A-Incorrupt politician.

yes, we can find a pharmacist in a pharmacy, as pharmacy is also being invaded by the corporate sectors, these are reflecting the professionalism,diploma holders and graduates in pharmacy would be there to assist the patients.

Coming to doctor in government hospitals in villages, Fortunately we still have many doctors whose motto is to serve the poor and the needy. let me exemplify with a example, I know a doctor named Dr.Prakash who stays near to the hospital and 24/7 he is available for the patients, he also recommends patients to other specialists to serve them better. let me emphasize that the hospital is in a very remote village in Medak district.

College student without a cell, hahahaha....funny but, speaking frankly we can see students without mobiles...Well we do find students who discontinued their studies due to financial constraints, such will not have.. The other class includes middle class (the major class) students who are not permitted to have a mobile in classroom or college so, they wouldn't get it..when there is no permission then they need not have one (though students with mobile are increasing at a rapid rate) .The other class is richie rich class, this class is exeption, we cant expect them without a mobile..but, we can find a student without a mobile..

The final answer would offcouse be A) Incorrupt politician (present scenario)--u can never see a politician who has not been indulged in any corruption.. the politicians will invest a lot during their champaign and obviously they would get it back through other sources... so, my answer would be A INCORRUPT POLITICIAN..

Note: This is strictly my opinion, not related to anyone (politicians specially).

The NPW 2013 is just 7 months away and this is the the right time to initiate some innovative program to do away from the routine harmless and pharmaceutically useless programs like lectures, fruit distribution, blood donation camp etc hither to being done.

We have to fight against:

1. The pharmacists who lend their certificate and vanish from the scene

2. Trading community who use lent certificates and carry on professional activity without binding him to be present

3. Regulatory authorities winking and bliking their eyes at the above

4. Central and State pharmacy councils for violating their bible Pharmacy Act 1948

5. Hospitals and nursing homes not appointing Pharmacists.

6. Hospitals not providing freedom to the appointed pharmacists to function professionally.

7. Pharmacists are not reswponsibly involved in formulating hospital drug logistics (procurement,  and management and distribution) policy.These areas are fully controlled by medical doctors.

8. No respectable remuneration to the pharmacists.

9. Quite a substantial quantity of medicines are going waste or misused / abused at domestic level due to lack of awareness.

10. Pharma industry not updating the pharmacist on their products as much as they do the Doctors.

Blame game is the easiest job in the world. I dont know why we should find fault or deficiency in others for our nil / stunted growth. Pl look at my comment under the caption 'Lets fight with these eveils'. The profession 's growth,  public awareness and recognbistion will be amazingly bright to attract everyone. Lets dedicate this years NPW to fight these eveils. Professionals, students and teachers - all should participate for the good of the profession and in the larger interest of public good.
