Orissa Red Cross Starts Generic Medicine Stores

In these pages, the English spelling of the name of our motherland and mother tongue will remain Orissa and Oriya as before, instead of changing into Odisha and Odia.

Law has changed Orissa and its language Oriya to Odisha and Odia in English respectively. This is a very irresponsible law created by politicians having no knowledge on and devotion to classical uniqueness of Oriya language. When this bad law was on the anvil, we had opposed the proposal through several articles in these pages on grounds shown therein. And, when finally the law was created, we took it as an act of stupids. We stick to our observation and vow not to honor the bad law, come what may. For us, the classical uniqueness of our mother tongue Oriya is more important than the law enacted to change it. So, here we shall continue to use the words Orissa and Oriya notwithstanding enforcement of the law that has wrongfully changed them to Odisha and Odia. This is why this site will continue as orissamatters.com instead of converting into odishamatters.com on the strength of our devotion to the mother tongue which no law can change.

Fight of people for quality medicines in affordable prices is bearing fruits with Indian Red Cross Society launching Jana Ausadhi stores through its State branch in Orissa.

The Department of Pharmaceuticals under the Ministry of Chemicals and fertilizers of Central Government and the Central Pharma Undertakings in the Public Sector have come forward to ensure availability of generic medicines to general public.

Stores of such medicines were opened today at the Capital Hospital and at Red Cross Bhawan, Bhubaneswar as well as at the District Headquarters hospital, Khurda. Dr. Mangala Prasad Mohanty, Honorary Secretary, IRCS-OSB states that such stores would soon be opened at every district level hospitals in collaboration with district branches of the Red Cross society.

Branded medicines are sold at higher prices than their unbranded generic equivalents of good therapeutic value, says Dr. Mohanty.

  dear haripriya,
  please contact the collector of your district in this matter. the present government policy in opening generic medicine stores does not accommodate private persons. however, the collector being the nodal officer, can guide you properly.
