INTRODUCTION:
Since India being a nation with largest youth population, working age
group, and it is fact that for ensuring Development and growth, Healthy
Manpower is necessary, and it is fact that without quality food perfect
Health cannot be attained by any individual, no matter how much
exercises, medicine, they use; Also since Government of India promoting
Swatch Bharat for hygienic surroundings and YOGA for personal Health, but
these two are just positive catalysts for Enhancement of Health of the
Individuals, but the Basic Substance is Quality Nutritious Food in
appropriate Quantities, can only make Individuals Healthy, then there is no
need for any Exercises/Yoga as daily work itself is a exercise that care of
Health.
Also it is fact that due to rapid urbanisation and industrialisation, and
most of them feeling so called busy/ lazy in their life and most of the
people in the country are attracted to processed food, and the food
processing sector is growing rapidly in India, in addition large chunks of
imports of processed food is available in INDIA due to low cost, Strangely
even the traditional foods made in a traditional way are now available in
ready packs like raw material for like IDLIES, DOSAS, ROTIES etc even in
the so called MASALAS used in Cooking like Ginger Garlic paste people in
villages are using the packaged one, people are patronizing them without
knowing how much quality raw material they use, hygienic standards
followed by the manufacturers;, its really a boon for the section of
perverted people who try to make money out of adulterated processed
food/ sub standard products literally at the cost of health of millions of
people, putting the lifes of millions of people at risk, for their self centred
selfish acts; also it is a fact whether the manufacturers are MNC or Indian
local companies they apply double standards in preparing food, using top
quality raw material for export oriented packs, and less standard raw
material for the products sold in India, its a fact that established in recent
food quality standards ; also it is fact even in transport vehicles Indian
manufacturers who sold vehicles in India do not adhere to safety
standards, do not qualify the basic crash safety tests at 55 -60 km speed,
whereas the same type of vehicles exported by them to abroad adhere to
high crash test standards, then one can imagine how much concerned for
the government regarding the quality tests in INDIA; also it is fact that
prevention is better than cure, also it is fact that Health care facilities in
India are far reach for millions of people, especially in rural areas and to
the downtrodden sections in India, so keeping in view of all that India
should aim at ensuring quality food without any scope for adulteration/ sub
standard contra brand foods sold in India, in all packaged products from so
called Mineral water to oil to spices to small eats, to ready to cook foods,
for ensuring good health of all people in India; through containing happing
of adulteration, sale of contra band products in a cost effective manner to a
Page 4 of 44

large extent. This measure saves billions of rupees expenditure on Health

care, in addition it contributes billions of rupees to GDP due prevention of
loss of millions of man hours on account of illness of the work force,
enhanced millions of man hours due to good health thus over all
development and growth of the nation occurs, and INDIA will become self
sufficient & super power nation.
PART -1
1) MEASURES TO CONTAIN FOOD ADULTERATION & TO CONTAIN
SALE OF CONTRA BRAND OF VARIOUS PRODUCTS.
FOOD ADULTERATION
Also it is a fact that food adulteration causes serious long term health
problems for majority of people, and also it is a fact till date no stricter
implementation of food safety laws, and lack of systems in place to
containing food adulteration and sale of contra brand products by default
settings in systems to identify such malpractices. As such it should be the
duty of the Government to control the adulteration of the food items both
raw and cooked food through brining in default settings in systems of
governance and also through public awareness and public scrutiny of the
food processing, after all the end consumers of all processed food is the
public. Some of the common adulterated foods are milk and milk products,
atta, edible oils, cereals, condiments (whole and ground), pulses, coffee,
tea, confectionary, baking powder, non-alcoholic beverages, vinegar, basin
and curry powder which needed to be controlled. Also need to prevent the
adulteration in fruits. Also in most of the restaurants and food courts,
canteens in the colleges, hostels, offices, factories in many cities and towns
do not follow ethical norms and most of the foods are adulterated to earn
more profits, loot the money provided by the government for the welfare of
children & downtrodden, it is fact that most of the food raw material used
by the commercial, government sponsored, subsidised food courts are sub
standard/ adulterated, for that matter even the Multi National Companies
are treating INDIA as third rated country and use sub standard quality raw
material, (one can test from biscuits, to chocolates to any other products
where the same brand same product if one tastes the Indian Manufactured
product, and the one Manufactured in other countries like USA, UK, AUS,
EU, UAE etc, the quality of the same product is hell to haven difference,
also recent controversy of MNC noodles, the sub standard, not adhere to
food safety standards, due to poor quality control mechanisms in India, in
addition due to acute corruption in India, that they can manage anything
and everything, and also majority of the people in India do not use their
rights for quality food and do not bother about food safety measures), also
it is fact that even in some cases are stored for more than its shelf life
most of them are preparing from the rotten raw materials, especially the
non vegetarian, most cases the oils are of fully adulterated, sub stand oils,
Page 5 of 44

even more heinously oils extracted from dead animal are being used (which
can cause serious log tem health risks for the consumers) etc al leading to
illness in the urban and semi urban people, especially the youth, working
class who are consumers of food prepared under these conditions, all this
adulteration just to earn small profit for few section of people, causing
serious health risks for millions of people and loss of billions of rupees of
GDP. The condition can be improved if there are stringent laws, with
stringent punishments, default settings in systems making all stake holders
behave ethically, as per law, coupled with periodic inspections by the
government for quality control of manufactured products, especially the
packaged food products, in the larger interest of people of the country.
Its ideal that government must put immediate attention on
Adulteration of Packaged Drinking water, Milk, Edible oil, Powdered attas,
Spices, Packaged Fruit Juices, etc
A)PACKAGED DRINKING WATER
MEASURES FOR CONTAINING ADULTERATION OF PACKAGED WATER
Its a fact that majority of the diseases are water born, and also it is a fact
that majority of India do not have perfect potable water; also it is fact that
there is exponential are of rise in use of packaged drinking water, even in
rural areas, but is is fact majority of the packed drinking water is sub
standard or just ordinary water filled in packs and sold in market,
strangely most of them have so called ISI mark on the pack. The per capta
consumption of packaged / bottled water increases every year, expected
to touch 30 litres by 2020 from the present per capta consumption of 20
litres with a market value of over 36000 crore by 2020. Even though ISI
mask is mandatory, but its only on paper in majority of the cases (which
was fully exposed during the recent controversy of MNC noodles which has
ISI certification, all food certifications, but strangely even if MNC
companies do not follow quality standards then one can imagine the local
small time manufactures), and most of the so called mineral water sold in
bottles / packages (less than 2 litres occupies 85% of market share of total
packaged water market), with more than 3400 bottling plants in India at
present may get increased in future to meet the demand, and most of the
small players (top 5 brands occupy over 65% market) do not adhere to
standards, they do not get quality water, they just drill bore wells
according to their will and wish completely depleting the entire ground
water tables in that territory, in addition some of them indulge in water
theft by managing the municipal water to divert the water meant for
common public for their factories, in addition most of them just for the
sake of processing may do or some even just do some chlorination and
pack the water (just to ensure that water gets long life without developing
micro bacteria in the packets, but excess bleaching agents are more
dangerous than bacteria for health), with no manufacturing and expiry
Page 6 of 44

date, sold largely in the semi urban areas, slums, and in rural areas in
sachets, bottles, most of the low income group and middle income group
people are the vulnerable for health risks by consuming c semi / un treated
water with long stored water with many bacterias grown in the water some
cases most harmful bacteria like E collie completely putting the health of
the consumers at maximum risk.
Also it is very sad on the part of the government to allow the so called
LIQUOR / ALCOHOL BEVERAGES advertisements in the form of bottled
water in the brand name of the alcohol companies which otherwise do not
manufacture bottled water, but in order to promote their brand of alcohol
in indirect way they just provide the local mineral water manufacturers/
with just packaging industry for job works, to manufacture mineral water in
their brand name and provide the same with highest margin to all wine
shops, local shops in that vicinity/ distinct/ territory, so that their brand
gets popular; in this process in order to provide maximum margin to the
retailer, they do not bother about any quality of the water in the braded
water bottles in their name. So government must make it mandatory that
no alcohol brand can promote mineral water hence forth in the brand name
of that Liquor company, if they own the mineral water plant they can
promote that in some other name, not the liquor name.
Also in order to ensure that bottled water is quality standards that it
should be made mandatory that all the 3400 odd bottled water plants in
India should provide details of source of water, the type of plants,
treatment process, the raw materials source, inventory, the processing of
the plant, with bar coding on each bottled/ packaged water, with details of
the quality, what their internal factory quality control revealed for that
batch of products in that bar coded bottles, the details of distributors,
retailers, from which barcode to which bar code each retailer has, the date
of manufacture, the date of expiry, total sale on line real time, with
mandatory on the part of the distributors, in each district to test the quality
of the water in camera if the consumers demand, in addition it should be
mandatory that there should be water quality testing laboratories in every
District in the first phase , later on in every mandal / block by the bottled
water manufactures association with international standard quality testing
laboratories, government may provide free land, water, power for such
laboratories; also there should be toll free quality control testing number,
soon the consumer finds that there is difference in quality of water, then
they may just lodge online complaint, in the toll free number, it is for the
manufacturers association to immediately collect the samples from the
same batch from the retailer and test for its quality.
Also all the
manufacturing should be under High resolution multiple CC cameras
surveillance and web casting, and the manufacturers association should
have control room to monitor the processing of the water online real-time,
in all the 3400 odd water processing plants, and alert the manufactures in
case found any discrepancy, or on the complainant of the consumers.
Page 7 of 44

Also in order to prevent the circulation of duplicate brands/ contra

brand products of popular brands, the government must make a mobile
app that can read the bar-coding on the labels, packs of the water, or the
consumer can just type the bar code number in the app or SMS the bar
code to a designated number, then the details should reveal whether the
product is manufactured by the original manufacturer or not, who is the
retailer that the product selling, also in case already the bar code was sold
the details of sold area/retailer; for this government must make it
mandatory that all manufactures should maintain a website, in addition
make it public online, real time, the product bar coding, the product
distribution to the retailers and the products sold, also list of area wise
availability of the packaged drinking water brands should be made; the
same should be available in the government website, anyone can find any
time details of packaged water; this measure has numerous benefits, it
contains to a large extent circulation of duplicate of original brands. Also
there should be stringent punishments for adulterated, contra brand, sub
standard packaged water manufacturers, distributors and retailers Also if
any of the retailer sells the product without having permission to sell such
products, or after the date of expiry, then he/she should get stringent
punishments; this measure eliminate to a great extent the circulation of
adulterated/ substandard products to the consumers.
MEASURES FOR ENSURING ALL SECTIONS OF PEOPLE OF INDIA
CONSUME SAFE DRINKING WATER; R O WATER PLANTS IN ALL OVER
INDIA AT ALL MAJOR PUBLIC UTILITY PLACES TO PREVENT PEOPLE
FROM DRINKING CONTAMINATED WATER
Also government must ensure long drawn plan for installation of RO
Water purifiers in all villages/ slums in the country, with nominal charges
for providing the clean potable drinking water to entire people of INDIA;
this should start with all Schools, collages, work places or hospitals, should
mandatorily use only RO water, whether they are government or private;
this will improve the health of millions of people as most of the people are
drinking contaminated water/impure water which is coming from
government water supply or from the bore wells or from the nearby water
bodies. Government must provide tax concessions, subsidies for installation
of water purifiers, RO sets, whether they are institutional or individual
purchase. (like solar lamps etc). Also the data of date of installation, use
of such RO water purifies should be with government for all government
and private schools, work places, in addition all individuals who purchased
and installed by the RO companies should be with the government, which
will send the general reminders for the recharge, maintenance. Also the
charts of date of installation, due date of maintenance, indentifying the
time to change the refills, etc should be installed near the water RO water
dispenser, so that the users also can alert for maintenance. The RO water
Plants should not be adjacent to Toilets, always RO water purifiers/

Page 8 of 44

dispense should be near to the entrance of the institution or should be

available in the canteens/ food eating place of that building.
Also Government should ensure RO water is available in all public
junctions in length and breadth of India, for the use by the common public.
Also RO water facility near all Major toll booths, all Border Crossings, all
major junctions in Highways adjacent to Dhabas where most of the
travellers stop for food, rest, most of the truck, bus, cabs stop for
servicing, all the petrol pumps should mandatorily install RO water with
multiple dispensers based on the density of vehicle population visiting that
petrol pump (this will enable most of the drivers and passengers fill the
safe drinking water in bottles free of cost, the cost of installation and
maintenance should be borne by the oil companies in CSR, the water
dispensers should be at the exit point preferably so that before leaving
they just fill a bottle of water and leave; similarly all police stations, courts,
all post offices, all banks should have RO water facilities; and even public
can carry the RO water from these places if they wish.
If government of India could not spend that much, immediately, it
should make it mandatory that all CSR funds should be diverted to make
RO water facilities available in all India, also government may levy 2%
special cess on petrol, power bills to accumulate funds for creation RO
water facilities in India, and there should be special department only for RO
water installation and Maintenance in every district and also in every
MANDAL/ BLOCK with trained staff, machinery, spares and quick response
technical teams, with appropriate necessary inventory of spares, also some
stand by RO plants for immediate replacement in case of major repair, all
this to ensure no RO is left non working for more than 12 hours Also
government must provide tax concessions for RO water installations by
private business establishments in their commercial complexes, large
apartments, also by the NGOs in slums and in rural areas. As it is fact that
most of the diseases are water borne, and if the water intake is perfect,
then natural immunity, stamina will occur to the people of the country, with
a country with more than 70% youth population this is very necessary.
MANDATORY ALL ICE MANUFACTURED SHOULD BE FROM RO WATER
Also government make it mandatory that all ICE manufacturing units
must use only RO water for any application of use of ice, whether it is for
human consumption used to mix with water or juices or used in storing the
sea foods like fish etc or storing of dead corpus; it should be a serious
crime and rigorous punishable offence for using ICE obtained from
mortuaries to used by fruit juice makers, Road side Ice cream vendors etc.

B)MILK ADULTERATION
Even though India is the largest producer of milk in the world, still the
per capta consumption of Milk is just around 300 mg per day with over 130
million metric tonnes of production, with the milking animals population of
over 121 million, but there is lack of systems in place lading to milk
adulteration as the demand for milk is growing and the production do not
meet the demands, also it is fact that all milking cows & buffalos do not
milk 365 days a year, the average milking (lactation) days are 290-300
days in India, with demand for over 160 million metric tones by in next 4-5
years, there is acute milk adulteration in India, Since milk is the primary
requirement in the food that will provide the vitamin A useful in the better
eye care, calcium deposit in the bones and the cured provides the pro biotic
bacteria useful in the digestive system in the body and many more uses of
milk, it is necessary that people of India consume milk daily. So
government must ensure milk productions at all the places are improved
substantially to contain milk adulteration.
In order to ensure the milk supplied is genuine and original and pure,
government must make it mandatory that all the milking supplying units to
get the registered with the government Milking Cattle Information Centre
(MCIC), through the help of the animal husbandry department at each and
every village and the dairy farms. Government must maintain mandatorily
the cow census to arrive the population of the milking cows and the total
natural milk production in the country based on the average milk
production of each cow, in order to achieve this cattle should be given a
specific number tagged with Radio Frequency Identification Device (RFID)
tag which cannot be duplicated locally as each tag has unique number
which can be read only by the electronic reader (this will help the cattle
owners to identify their cattle when it is missed), All the cattle owners
(more than 12 million) shall be given a electronic card to be swiped at the
village dairy cooperative societies (over 1,10,000) while delivering the milk
to record the milk provided by the individual owner of the cattle. All the
data of the milking cows should be separated and the average milk
production can be arrived.
Also there should be instant quality testing of the milk at the base
collection centres with simple tests for ensuring no adulterated milk is
gathered at the base collection centres; also there should be complete ban
on sale of milk on commercial bases by the individual who own milking
animals, all individuals should register with the government for raising
milking animals, and in case they wish to supply on commercial bases they
should supply by becoming a member of cooperative milk units and supply
to the base collection centre; otherwise they can use the milk produced
without being a member in the cooperative for personal consumption. Also
all commercial outlets using the milk as raw material should be barred from
purchasing milk from non registered members. Also government must
Page 10 of 44

make it mandatory that all milk purchasers should get register with the
government with their voter ID card and mobile phone number for all
packaged milk. This measure will provide accurate data of consumption of
milk, availability, demand and supply gap each territory wise and scope for
adulteration get reduced to a great extent.
All the dairy milk suppliers should mandatorily supply the milk in the
packs only with bar coding on the consumers can verify the same in the
government website for the authenticity of the pack; also it should be
mandatory that all milk distributors, vendors should get register with
government. All the milk supply should be registered in the MCIC about the
collection details from the individual cattle owners and the dairy from. This
will ensure that all production, supply of milk is natural, safe pure milk is
supplied to the consumers. Also this will ensure fair price for the milk is
paid to the owner of the cattle. Also this will reduce the milk production
enhancement artificially by banned oxytocin injections, to the milking
Cowes will be drastically reduced as the original data of the cow is known
to the MCIC and will asses that which breed of cow will give what quantity
in normal circumstances on an average. Also this measure contains to a
large extent duplication of the milk packs, lose sale by vendors etc
Also it should be mandatory that for all medical retailers sell the
ocytocin only on the prescription of the doctor will ensure reduction of
irrational use of oxytocin, it is a fact that due to high oxytocin content in
the milk, the children are becoming adults in less than normal age, ad also
there is abnormal growth of all vital organs mainly the breasts in male
children also reported across the country. As such government must bring
stringent law for the adulteration of milk in what so ever manner.
SIMPLE COST EFFECTIVE KIT FOR IDENTIFYING ADULTERATED /
SYNTHETIC MILK FOR DETERGENTS, SODA MURA ETC
Government must promote milk adulteration testing kits, which are
cost effective, simple to operate by any one, at onsite testing by just
putting a particular solution drops on filter paper and then milk drop is
placed on the filter paper exactly on the top of the already made dot of the
special solution, in case urea / synthetic milk then the solution droplet will
turn to pale yellow, non adulterated natural milk will remain as it is without
any colour change; the cost of test just 3 rupees, with kit cost 100 rupees
for 30 tests; which can be used by house hold as well as milk collection
centres, this was developed by Lala Lajpat Rai University of Veterinary and
Animal Sciences, College of Veterinary Sciences HISSAR, HARYANA, which
was PATENTED PRODUCT. The kit test for any urea content above 0.2%, in
the milk, where a 0.9 and above is the average urea of adulterated /
synthetic milk. Like that any other similar cost effective tests should be
encouraged by government; even every house hold can buy such kits and
make use of them. Also it should be mandatory that Milk dairy associations
Page 11 of 44

should mandatorily establish sophisticated milk testing laboratories in all

districts in first phase and all madals later stage for full analysis of milk.
And it should be obligation on the part of the Milk dairy owners association
to test the milk if any consumer demands for it.
MILK ADULTERATION, PREVENTION THROUGH SUPPLY OF PURE MILK
TO CHILDREN IN ANGANWADIES, WELFARE HOSTELS, BPL FAMILIES;
ALSO TAX CONCESSIONS/SUBSIDIES FOR SETTING UP OF MILK
DAIRIES FOR CAPTIVE CONSUMPTION FOR COMMERCIAL USAGES
In order to contain happing of adulteration of milk, such milk being
consumed by children and old aged people who are more health risks due
to adulterated milk consumption, government must ensure all measures to
increase the milk production to a great extent by bringing the milk
revolution through producing more milking cows through In Vitro
Fertilisation (IVF) and In Vitro Production (IVP) centres that cater embryo
technologies to produce more milking cows through test tube. or may
adopt any other latest developments in this sector.
Also government must ensure all the welfare hostels, all anganwadi
Kendras, and all old aged homes, should be provided milking cows in
appropriate number free of cost supplied by government. In order to
maintain the cows, government must establish community cow centres, to
be operated by the gram panchayat. It should be the duty of the Gram
Panchayat to maintain the Rural Community Cow Centres (RCCC) and
provide the milk to the above category people. It the responsibility of the
Village revenue official (VRO) and Mandal Revenue officer (MRO) to monitor
the supply of the milk to the welfare hostels, anganwadi Kendras and the
old aged homes, also ensure the RCCC is maintained hygienically etc. Also
the government must provide free veterinary service for all the community
cow centres. This measure ensures all the downtrodden children get proper
proteins which will enhance their immunity and stamina, also all old aged
people get milk for their good health; there should be proper accountability
of the milk collected and supplied by creating accountability to the Gram
panchayat and with proper checks and balances.
Also government must make a long plan to ensure all BPL family
members in India consume substantial quantities of Milk and milk based
products, in order to achieve this Government must provide free of cost the
milking cattle at each BPL family in the villages to be maintained in the
Rural community cow centres (RCCC). In order to provide the cattle with
nutritious feed to yield good milk production the government must provide
the free seeds of high nutrient grass like Napier etc which has posses high
nutrient values and resistant to pests (there is an acute shortage of green
fodder over 60% and dry crop residues over 20%, as such the government
must mandatorily allocate / reserve over 100 acres of land in every village
for the cultivation of fodder to the cattle.) to be used in the CCC to be
Page 12 of 44

maintained by the Gram Panchayat. The cow ruminants (cow dung) should
be used to produce the gober gas and the slurry can be used as a fertilizer
to the nearby fields. As far as the urban poor is concerned the government
must form the Urban Community Cow Centres (UCCC) in the villages
adjacent to the towns and cities, near to high ways. All these UCCC should
cater the needs of the children in the slum dwellings and the anganwadi
Kendras in the towns and cities. The maintenance of these UCCC should
be the municipal administration as well as the group of the slum dwellers
on rotation bases.
In addition in order to reduce the bulk consumption of milk,
government must make it mandatory that all the bulk milk consumption
units such as hotels, restaurants, sweet centres, even for that matter the
gated communities/ resident welfare societies, apartment complexes (more
than 20 litres of milk use per day)etc can form an association and raise
dairies or else raise their own dairies, in any case government must
provide subsidies for such dairies for purely captive consumption with no
trading of milk privately, there should be strict milk audit by the
government veterinary department and the inventory of the milk produced,
consumed etc should be on record online, real time data with government
even in case of private captive consumption milk dairies. In case of excess
milk they can supply to the base milk pooling centres; all captive milk
centres should be situated in the outskirts of the city. This measure will
certainly reduce the demand to some extent.
Also all milk based products whether manufactured in factories or sold
in small places like curd, butter milk, ghee, pannier, ice crmes, sweets,
bakery products etc should get register with government, also should form
associations among same fraternity. Also all the water used for processing
should be RO for the manufacturers, small retail sale of butter milk, for
processing of pannier, etc all these manufacturers should posses internal
adulteration testing equipment and daily test the products before sale; also
all the sale should be as far as possible packed and with sticker mentioning
the manufactured date and time and expiry date.
C) OIL ADULTERATION
Edible oils are essential in source of energy food for human beings for
metabolism and building tissues. The consumption of edible oils directly
linked to the income group, and also the demand for edible oil rises when
the per capta income raises, & as GDP rises, as people prefer to eat more
food prepared using edible oils. It is fact that there is wide gap of Edible oil
production in India and demand for edible oil is so wide, and also there is
huge demand for low cost oils due to affordability and price conscious BPL,
LOW and low Middle, Middle middle income group people, traders, retailers
are en-cashing the situation with adulteration oils in the process traders
are making some percentage of profits, but the consumers are paying
Page 13 of 44

several times the cost of saving of using low cost edible oil, in the form of
health care expenditure, the per capta consumption of Edible oils in India
are at 14.3 kg in 2013 with projected figures of 18 kg in 2021, with total of
17.5 million metric tones in 2013 to a projected requirement of 23.5 million
metric tonnes, Even though government identified near about 2 million
hectors of land in India are suitable for oil palm cultivation, but government
able to encourage only 0.2 million hectors of cultivation till date, this is
main reason that India depend on import of palm oil, also one of the
indirect cause of oil adulteration maifia rise in India. So there is wide gap of
product and demand which needs to b reduced. The statistic indicate India
is a major importer of palm oil in the word, with India importing about 1/5
of the total production of palm oil in the world, with palm oil consumption is
near about 50% of the total oil consumption in India (followed by soya
bean oil 15%, mustard seed oil 12%, sunflower 6% coconut oil 6% and
ground nut oil less than 1%) with major countries from which India imports
palm oil are from Malaysia and Indonesia.
One of the major reasons for adulterated oil/ sub standard oil in India
is lack of government policy on mandatory requirement of import of only
Certified Sustainable Palm Oil. The Certified sustainable palm oil (CSPO)
is palm oil that has been grown on a plantation that has been managed
and certified according to the principles and criteria of the Roundtable on
Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), the independent agency which ensures that
Palm oil producers are certified through strict verification of the production
process through stringent RSPO, Principles , Criteria for Sustainable Palm
Oil Production by accredited Certifying Bodies. All organisations in the
supply chain that use RSPO certified sustainable oil products are audited to
prevent overselling and mixing palm oil with conventional (or nonsustainable) oil palm products. Indian government should deal with
Malaysia and Indonesia to ensure all oil palm growers in their country are
CSPO and also to reduce the export tax on CSPO by these two countries.
This will certainly reduce oil adulteration at the very base level. in addition
there should be stricter import policies to have stringent quality control
both at the exporting country end and also at the importing end to ensure
standards are maintained, It is ideal that government of India conduct
these quality audits (either with GOI staff or with some third party reputed
international certifying agencies) at the exporting port as well as importing
port before allowing the oil to refineries or factories for further.
Also It is a fact and the demand supply gap making edible oils, also
the cost variation between the palm oil and other sunflower refined oil etc
are leading to oil adulteration to a great extent, especially in the absence
of stringent quality checks, and stringent punishments for adulteration,
very heinously, just to make little money, the animal fats, dead animal left
overs are used to extract oil, which is either directly sold or mixed with the
existing edible oil (like petrol & bio ethanol) and selling it to the public, this
kind of adulterated products are sold mostly in the highway dabahs, road
Page 14 of 44

side food outlets, in the remote places, rural areas and shops which where
situated in slums, weaker sections, low income group, also mostly there
exists high chance for use of such adulterated/ contaminated oils in
subsidised food canteens, welfare hostels for SC, ST, OBC Students (who
are most vulnerable to this kind of oil adulteration)...,also in mass food
preparations like railways, bus stands, etc and also in mass food
preparations /offering in various functions organised by individuals or
institutions or political parties etc (where they provide food preparation
contract to caterers) also in messes where low cost, low profit food is
served under compulsion. As it is a fact that oil consumption is a standard
cost and when the adulterated oils are available for less than 50% of the
original oil cost, then there are high chances that these kind of adulterated
oils are in use in mass cooking.
In order to reduce adulteration of oils, also to improve the health of
common people, government must make a long drawn plan for indigenous
cultivation of other oil seeds like sunflower, and make them cost effective
and affordable to common people by educating the people to shift towards
refined oil for numerous multiple benefits, even though slightly expensive
mat be for two litres consumption per month, of a family, the cost
difference may not exceed 200 rs, but compared to the loss of income,
expenditure in the long run due to use of non refined oil is several folds the
additional cost of using refined oil (ideal that government provide some
subsidy on refined oil use by BPL, LOW income group people, also ideal
that government supply only, for this government should enhance the
import refined sun flower oil, reduce the palm oil import, additional burden
can be shared by government and the people availing ration oil in fair price
shops), as the refined sun flower oils has good poly unsaturated Fatty acid,
less in mono unsaturated fatty acid content and also has a good aroma
compared to other conventional oils like palm oil. (Also should be
mandatory that all oil packs sold in fair price shops should be specially
packed and in a clear transparent pack with separate bar coding for fair
price shops, so that the oil from the fair price shops cannot be diverted to
the open market, the oil sachets in fair price shops should be ranging from
50 gm to 500 gm so that those who cannot afford to buy at a time can take
50 gm sachets till their 2 litre quota is expired, this measure reduces lot of
pilferage, diverting of stocks meant for the poor to the open market, also
there should be a Virtual private network among the government
departments and all fair price shops for monitoring online real time sale.
To contain happing of OIL ADULTERATION the following measures are very
necessary
First place it should be mandatory that ban of sale of lose oil in the
market even in KIRANA Shops (Mom & Pop stores); Like Shampoo sachets,
Also it should be mandatory that oil should be packed and sold either in
sachets or bottles or tins, with all the packs has 50% of the pack should be
Page 15 of 44

clear transparent on all sides to make a clear view of colour and texture of
the oil packed, with all branding, details of the content, packing, bar coding
etc should be within 50% space of the all sides of the packed oil sachets or
bottles or tins (with complete ban of opaque packing, plastic or metal tins
or sachets). Also there should be sachets of Edible oil as low as 25 gm so
that BPL families, who used to buy loose oil, can purchase packed ones
instead. All manufacturing units of Edible oil should have a manufacturers
association which should do the quality certification of each manufacturing
unit for equipment, process, production of each batch, also all
manufacturing, packing should be under high resolution CC cameras with
live web casting for public monitoring, in addition to monitoring by the
control room of the oil manufactures association, also before production
and after production all the edible oil carrying trucks should be electronic
lock and GPRS and should be unlocked only in the designated places.
Also it should be mandatory that all Edible oil sachets, packs, bottles,
tins should be bar coded and there should be an app in the mobile to read
the bar coding, and the app should be free to download, by all, especially in
the rural areas and also there should be an sms facility (all toll free) for
basic quality check that if anyone sends the bar coding number they should
be able to get return confirmation whether the product is manufactured by
the company or not. Also it should be made mandatory that all
manufacturers must provide the bar code numbers of the item supplied,
quantity supplied to the retailers which should be saved in the central
server when checked by any individual, it should provide the authenticity of
the product as well as retailer and the packed date and expiry date; so that
it ensures that bar codes cannot be duplicated, no expiry dated product can
be sold in retail; the sms should be in regional languages/ voice message.
This measure will eliminate to a great extent the adulteration, and there is
every possibility to contain duplicate of big brands /contra brand products
circulation in market, also very stringent punishment for sale of contra
brand products/ adulterated products.
Also it should be mandatory for all commercial oil use like in food
processing units like chips manufacturers, pickles manufacturers, hotels,
restaurants, small or big should mandatorily maintain oil inventory and
must submit to the government with date of purchase with bills and bar
coding numbers, oil consumption, wastage; this measure eliminates use of
low quality oil by the commercial use every week online, since it should be
mandatory that all oil purchases should get bill in the name of the user the
details for verification is easy, the details oil purchase bills and the bar
coding of manufactures should match else they can find that adulterated oil
use can be identified. this measure contains use of adulterated oil, also
reduces the re use of used oils several times.
Also the edible oil manufactures association should establish quality
testing laboratories in all districts in India and should do the testing at free
Page 16 of 44

of cost in case of compliment, also rewards for those who provide

information for oil adulteration, stringent punishments for all involved in oil
adulteration, lose sale of oil, from manufacturer to the retailer. Also with
non bail able offence, with rigorous life imprisonment multiple times for
those who manufacture, distribute, use the oils commercially, the oils
manufactured from dead animal wastes. The above measures will certainly
reduce the happening of oil adulteration to a great extent.
MANDATORY ISSUE & USE OF PROVISION DEBIT CARDS FOR
PURCHASE OF GROCERIES, RATIONING /RESTRICTING USE OF
EDIBLE OIL BY EVERY HOUSE HOLD
Also ideal that government issue provision debit cards for all
individual income earners in India (Ref my Document Un organised
Employment to Organised Employment 2013 Mar), and make it mandatory
that edible oil (also other oil related products like vanaspathi, ghee) should
be purchased only through provision debit card (making it mandatory that
all the retailers sell edible oil and other oil related raw products through
provision debit card) it is ideal that government fix maximum use of two 2
litres of Edible oil per family of four (two elders, two kids) even though the
per capta use of Edible oil in India is just 14 kg, still majority of the urban
population are prone to heart diseases, obesity, and other diseases are due
to excessive oil consumption, use at home, so on every additional purchase
after two litres of Edible oil, So in ordr to reduce the excess use oil by
section of population , government must levy additional 4 times the cost of
the normal rate of each additional litre use of oil by the individual
household, as the provision debit card will be submitted to their income
provider every month, and every year automatic audit should be made for
each provision debit card. (the provision debit card should have details of
family members , with details of the provision debit cards f other family
members) This measure inculcated judicious use of Edible oils by the
individual households, which leads to reduction of lot of health discords
especially fat related, cholesterol related like heart attacks, obesity etc.
Also this measure reduces the oil imports by India to a considerable extent.
D)

FRUIT & VEGETABLE ADULTERATION

FRUIT ADULTERATION
It is fact that India is the second largest fruit producing country in the
world with annual fruit production of over 9 million tonnes of fruits ever
year, with over 10% growth every year, and it is a fact fruits provide
essential vital nutrients, but still for majority population in India the fruits
of eating fruits is a jackpot, as fruits become higher income group diet in
India, also it is fact due to lack of proper storage and transportation
facilities fruits are getting rotten, even whatever available in the markets,
especially in the urban areas most of the fruits are artificially ripened.
Page 17 of 44

Its really pity that the main fruit in India is banana which is otherwise
all season fruit and also poor peoples meals is fully subjected to artificial
ripening, since the ripe bananas has short shelf life due to the
transportation, storage and other reason the fruits are plucked when it is
raw, much before it is about ripen naturally, this will forcing the traders to
ripen artificially by using the chemicals like calcium carbide, similarly
traders/vendors are ripening other fruits like mangoes, papaya, apples etc
which are regularly consumed by people, apart from seasonal fruits like
checkoo/sapota etc. These artificial ripened fruits have chemicals, though
used in small amounts; the chemicals used for artificial ripening contain
carcinogens, arsenic and phosphorus which cause cancer.
In order to contain artificial repining of fruits in India, governments
must enforce the Food Safety and Standards Act 2006 (Rules 2011) which
imposed ban of artificial repining of fruits, also it is ideal to amend the law
for more stringent punishments for fruit adulteration, also stringent
punishments for persons selling calcium carbide for the fruit vendors. Also
should ban sale of calcium carbide in open market as it is an industrial raw
material used in production of acetylene gas which is used for welding and
many other purposes. Also to bring public awareness about the artificial
ripening, to identify the artificial ripened fruits through the appearance of
the fruits (will be shiny, flawless in appearance) and if felt the symptoms of
poisoning include vomiting, diarrhoea, burning or tingling sensation,
numbness, headache and dizziness etc, so that they can alert the
authorities to act up on; which can reduce happening of artificial ripening.
In order to identify the fruit sellers and impose the fine, enforce law
for artificial ripening, it should be mandatory that all fruit sellers should
register with government, government provide licence to carry out the
trade, also the details of fruit sellers will be in the web, so that anyone who
wish to buy fruits can get details of their nearby fruit seller, this will create
additional market for the individual fruit sellers. Also it should be made
mandatory that all whole sale fruit and vegetable markets should be under
CC camera surveillance, and government implement the Swatch Bharat
Abhyan first in all fruit and vegetable markets across the country on
priority bases, (the daily waste generated in the vegetable and fruit
markets should be disposed to recycle to manufacture vermi compost to be
transported to the nearby villages for use in cultivation) and also there
should be regular inspections (also surprise inspections) by government as
well as citizens group in the market yards to find the out artificial ripening,
and it should be the responsibility of the traders to allow for inspection in
camera recording. Also government must impose stringent punishments for
using artificial ripening of fruits or selling artificial repining fruits in India.

Page 18 of 44

 BANNING CULTIVATION OF VEGETABLES,

VEGETABLES
USING
POLLUTED
DRAINAGE/CONTAMINATED WATER

ESPECIALLY
WATERS

LEAFY
/

Also government must ban cultivation of leafy vegetables in the urban

areas, sub urban areas adjacent to or near to or open drainages, or any
areas where the water is fully contaminated, or where the industrial
effluents are let in the open field or the industrial effluents are getting
discharged. Also it should be the responsibility of the villagers, people to
complain to the authorities if found that in their locality the effluents from
the nearby industries getting discharged in the fresh waters or in the
cannel streams or in their drainage lines, or banks of the lakes, rivers
where stagnated water persists and poisonous weeds are naturally get
growing; also government must announce rewards for people informing
about the cultivation of vegetables, especially leafy vegetables using the
polluted waters or using the drainage water to the authorities, there should
be special toll free number for this purpose to contact the authorities, and
they should on inspection found the cultivation, they should destroy the
same immediately and file a non bail able case against those who are
involved in this. Also government must ban artificial colouring of the
vegetables at any level; government must provide extra subsidies for
organic growing (gradual increase of organic fertilizers and reduction of use
of chemical fertilizers, recently ARUNCHAL PRADESH announced that its
going to be complete organic farming in the entire state soon, Government
must have long drawn plan to convert maximum cultivation in India to
organic cultivation.
Also it should be made mandatory that all vegetable retailers should
get registered with government, and obtain licence to do vegetable trade;
also it should be duty and responsibility of the shop keepers who are selling
the vegetables, especially the leafy vegetables the source of the
vegetables, i.e who is the farmer, their farming land location, source of
water for the cultivation in their farm etc. without the details; in case the
retailers buy from the whole sellers, then the details of the whole sellers,
and then it should be the responsibility of the whole seller who is procuring
the raw material i.e vegetables, especially leafy vegetables from the
farmers with either farmer ID card number or their Voter Id card number
and all payments should be made online in their bank account.
MEASURES FOR INCULCATING FRUIT EATING HABITS IN INDIA.
Also government must encourage fruit chat sellers in every nook and
corner in the country, make a habit to the people of the country, especially
the youth to consume fruits lot than the so called junk foods, government
must make it mandatory for establishing fruit chat centres in all
educational institutions, all work places, all hospitals, all transport centres
like railways, bus stations,, government should provide concessions or un
Page 19 of 44

employed to start portable (mobile fruit chat) in very junctions in the

urban, rural areas, in addition to highway junctions, high way rest centres
etc and in all major centres across length and breadth of India, taking the
spirit from Kolkata where fruit chat is available in every nook and corner at
very affordable, economic rates. This measure not only provides
employment to several lakhs of people directly and indirectly, also
improves the health of millions of people.
MEASURES TO CONTAIN
PACKAGED FRUIT JUICES.

ADULTERATION

SUB

STANDARD

Also since there is rise in packaged fruit juices, its very necessary
that all the packaged fruit juices manufactures adhere to stringent quality
control process in weeding out the sub stand fruits, vegetables for making
the juices; the total production, sale of fruit juices in India are over 230
Million litres including packaged as well as fresh juices, with packaged
juices account for over 3.4 million letters, with average of meagre 20 ml
per capta consumption of fruit juices in India as against over 35 litres in
developed countries like USA, Germany etc. the packaged fruit juices are
mostly in the metros and tire 1 cities, and evolving market, government
must make stringent quality control as well as mandatory bar coding, date
of manufacturing, date of expiry, identifying the adulterated, soiled juices,
displayed in very packaged fruit juices retailers, also the bar coding should
provide the details of retailer, sold etc; there is lot of scope for fruit juices
manufacturing locally like like local mineral water plants in small scale in
the coming future from the available local fruits. This will not only reduce
the wastage of fruits due to lack of storage, but also improves the health of
people, in addition to employment generation to several people, In
addition, it saves lot of people from fruit adulteration side effects on health
of the consumers. also all fruit juice manufacturers should get registered
with government under one place, in the web with details of manufacturing
facility, the input materials, the processing, quality control, bar coding of
packs etc etc with quality audit by the manufacturers association to reduce
adulteration of packaged fruit juices. Also ideal that all local fresh fruit
sellers, fruit chat sellers, all fresh juice sellers locally must get web
connectivity, and the should be able to deliver to homes if people order for
in their respective territory of 1 to 2 km radius, which will create additional
revenues to them, also people get fruits at their door step.
E) NON VEGETARIAN ADULTERATION
NON-VEGETARIAN RAW FOOD (LIKE MEAT) ADULTERATION
As we all knew that majority of the Indians are non-vegetarian
consumers majority of them consume either goat or lamb, chicken or other
birds like duck, eemu birds. Since there is no specific standards for the
meat sellers, majority of the meat sellers do not follow standards and sell
Page 20 of 44

the meat in un-hygienic conditions, some of them sell the meat mixed with
other animal meats like beef, like that chicken is mixed with vulcher meet
etc. Because of consuming adulterated meat/ sub standard meat, millions
of people are getting serious health disorders.
In order to stream line the non veg market, Government must make
it mandatory that all non vegetarian raw sellers, all processed nonvegetarian sellers should be registered with government. Also only at select
locations they should sell the non vegetarian foods like meat, chicken, fish,
etc in every village or ward, not everywhere at the will and wish of the
seller. Also all those retailers in the non veg market should be trained for
maintaining hygienic habits, The non vegetarian market should be every
hourly cleaned, every day sterilized and sure the streets are clean, with no
kind of odours. Also the vendors should handover waste products to Govt.
The waste in the non veg market should be treated on par with bio medical
waste and disposed in the similar manner; Only hygienically processed non
vegetarian can be allowed to sell in retail market within the retail shops/
super market; all the packaged non vegetarian manufacturers should be
under CC camera surveillance with non veg packaged food association
audit for quality processing, in addition to government audit. Also the non
veg market should be periodically inspected by the food authorities for the
quality / freshness of the material sold in the market.
Also Since majority of the restaurants are serving the stored bacteria
generated stale non vegetarian food. Especially the so called Chinese food
stalls, and Biraini points, just prepare the dishes with sub standard or
waste products of meat, stale meat, processing and add spices to not get
the rotten smell, millions of downtrodden people are getting severe health
disorders due to this kind of food consumption, these kind of stalls may
also use the oils adulterated with oils which are extracted from animal
wastes because it comes dead cheap for then just may be 20 to 30 Rs per
litre which is much cheaper than conventional oil, since the BPL, low
income group people especially the bachelors, forced bachelors, migrant
labour, and those who consume alcohol/ cheap liquor are suffering due to
this adulteration, as they wish to consume non vegetarian at very
economical price, without knowing that why should they get at that cheap
rate such a food. As such government must issue the mandatory hygienic
conditions to be maintained, measures for containing the non-vegetarian
food adulteration, as it causes acute health disorders; in order to contain
use of rotten/ soiled non vegetarian, waste non vegetarian, it should be
made mandatory that all the restaurants using non vegetarian should
mandatorily submit online daily stock position government health
department, there should be surprise checks every week in all large
consumption restaurants to do physical audit and inspection of stock,
quality of stock. Also it is ideal that all non veg raw food vendors should be
given hand held billing machine, within built software that the licence
number and it should be mandatory to take mobile number of the
Page 21 of 44

purchaser and mandatory bill to be issued, to be obtained by all

commercial users of no-vegetarian, also it is ideal that there should special
electronic cards for purchasing the non veg, so that everyone fill the card
with required money and the swipe machine at the non veg vendor will
swiped to pay the price for the quantity. For those who do not wish to take
cash less card, should get daily coins at the entrance of the non veg
market, so that there will not be by cash transactions within the market
premises and the cash will not get bacterias, also stricter punishments for
adulteration of non veg foods. This measure will certainly useful for many,
it will contain to great extent the adulteration of non vegetarian.
F) READY TO USE SPICES ADULTERATION
Its a fact that majority of the dishes in Indian uses Turmeric power,
Chilli Powder, Coriander Powder and Garlic Ginger paste; its a fact that
most of the packaged powders are adulterated, by local manufactures, or
duplicating the original brand.
Turmeric power which is used widely by almost all Hindu Rituals by
the Hindu Women for personal use as a facial and also used in almost all
culinary preparation in India is eating the fine grounded saw dust mixed
with Yellow Colour. Or Yellow ochres metal power Its has serious long term
impact on the health of the individuals
The Chilli Powder is the most adulterated item, most of the chilli
power is mixed with artificial colours, and also Saw dust etc
The Ginger Garlic paste which is widely used in India, especially in
Rural areas, which the calcium carbide mixed with some chemicals are
made to get the pate and using the essence to get the smell of the original
paste. A mixture of Iodine and Calcium, along with rotten garlic and rotten
ginger, and adding acids for long shelf life, also making contra brands and
selling at very nominal prices, which has very serious impact on health,
intestines, liver and cause jaundice and other serious health disorders.
Also due to rapid urbanisation and busy life most of the people are not
able to prepare even raw material for Indian foods like Idlies, Dosas,
Roties etc which the barters are available in ready packs, which may also
subjected to adulteration.
So in order to contain all kinds of adulteration all those packaged
products has to follow the same procedure of bar coding, cc camera
surveillance of manufacturing, packing, details of batch wise, retailer wise
stock, in addition details of territorial sale of the brand on the web, sms /
mobile app identification of bar code, retailer, sale etc, quality control by
same manufacturers association, government etc will certainly contain
adulteration of the spices. Also the public awareness should be created for
Page 22 of 44

identifying the adulteration of spices powered or mixtures, through simple

tests at their home.
COMPLETE MONITORING OF IMPORTED FOOD PRODUCTS FOR
QUALITY, STANDARDS, ALSO WITH MANDATORY AGREEMENT FOR
PENALTY AS PER INDIAN LAWS FOR HEALTH RISKS DUE TO SUB
STANDARD/ SPURIOUS IMPORTED FOOD PRODUCTS.
Also in case of imported packaged products, the government must
ensure each batch of the imported products should go for testing in Indian
laboratories, in addition government must make it mandatory that for all
packaged food imports, government must insist the manufactures to start
make in India if economic viability else they should allow Indian quality
control persons to inspect and also make the video of the processing of the
batches that are going to be exported to India, or else they may start a
manufacturing unit in their own country where the raw material is cheap,
plenty, and there should be permanent Indian quality control staff, with live
web casting of the manufacturing process. In addition they should do
Indian Bar coding on all products that are going to be exported to India, so
that Indian food authorities as well as tax authorities have full control of
sale of imported food products in India, in addition the manufactures who
are exporting to India should sign an agreement for liability of the
manufacturer as per INDIAN LAWS in case of any substandard, product
cases health risks; without this agreement government should not permit
any kind of imports from any country, all supermarkets, five star hotels,
etc are barred from importing packaged food from other countries without
this agreement.
All the products imported / manufactured in India sold in packs should
possess bar coding, in case of its difficult to make bar coding on very small
sized packs like toffees, small chocolates, one rupee shampoo packs etc
the lot can be packed in bundles, jars and the sealed and the jars, bundle
packs should get bar coded, and inventory should be made (even though
just one rupees satchels shampoo market in India is more than 2 billion
INR or over 10,000 crores); this measure of bundle bar coding selling in a
bundle pack will certainly be of great use in identifying the manufacturer,
date of pack, expiry, the retailer etc.
Also government must make
category wise, the retail sale, the
packed food, the availability at
mandatory for the retailer to update
the government.

it public the imported food products

bar coding numbers of the imported
which retailer, and also making it
the the sale transaction periodically to

Page 23 of 44

2) MEASURES FOR HYGIENIC & HEALTHY FOOD

HYGIENIC READY MEADE FOOD AT RESTAURANTS, FOOD COURTS,
CANTEENS ETC
Also it should be made mandatory that all the restaurants and
canteens the food preparation areas/kitchens, food storage areas, should
be installed with high resolution the CC cameras in multiple numbers and
should be integrated to the website of the food adulteration prevention
department for the public view and the scrutiny by the officials. Like the
traffic police observing the CC footage remotely and acting on violations,
the food inspection officials will monitor all the food preparations from the
start of the preparation to the cleaning of the food preparation area in the
closing time should be observed closely. Also the same feed should go the
restaurants association for further monitoring at their end.
Also the
restaurants, food processing units should mandatorily submit the water,
milk, oil usage bills online to the government. This method will certainly
help in achieving the better results.
MEASURES FOR HYGIENIC STREET FOOD
Also the governments should give more focus on the maintenance of
hygienic of street foods preparation & serving, as many of them are
causing severe health disorders. To regulate the street food sale it should
be mandatory for the the street food sells to get registered locally with the
food authorities to obtain the licence card. Also there should be mobile
teams to have regular and periodic inspection of street food vendors for the
quality, preparation in hygienic atmosphere, use of water filtered water,
use of standard edible oil etc and more important about the health
condition of the perpetrators and the server of the street food should be
observed for skin deceases, any communicable deceases etc and all
unhygienic outlets should be seize immediately and allow them to continue
after maintain the standards.
Also there should be designated areas for street food selling, with
stricter punishments for setting up of and selling street food at the place
according to the will and wish of the seller, violating the norms... all street
food sellers must get regular health check up for them by the government
doctors on the mobile team. All street food sellers should undergo training
secession for maintaining hygiene-ity; also government must make a study
of the present demand for street food, identify the areas, whether they can
adjust the area for designating as street food area or not, identify whether
RO water is available, waste disposal, hand wash, toilet facility for the staff,
visitors etc and also how much air pollution it will cause due to food
preparation in that locality, how much traffic will be there, whether there is
ample parking facility required/ exists etc, also complete ban of movement
Page 24 of 44

motored vehicles in the food streets, only pedestrians can visit. Also there
should be proper mechanisms in place to install chimneys in such a way
that most of the fumes from the food preparations should be let out at
higher levels in the open air after due filtration of air for oils and other
suspended micro particles; also at the food streets and surroundings
government must rise trees like Neem, Eucalyptus etc based on the local
conditions to ensure more greenery prevails on the food street as well as
surroundings of the food street.
As it is a fact without these just like that allowing street food to
mushroom will create lot of health hazards in multiple ways. Also the public
should be thought to behave responsibly by fining the public for throwing
the left overs, waste papers etc on the road instead of designated waste
baskets/containers; for this all the street food centres should be under high
resolution multiple CC camera Surveillance and there should be a control
room in every municipality to monitor and alert the public through public
loud speakers; this will be perfect swatch Bharat mission... also this CC
cameras monitoring make the street food makers behave more responsibly
and also make them more ethical and honest in their approach; also there
should be strict ban of smoking , consumption of alcohol, consumption of
tobacco, pan in the street food areas and ban of spitting on the roads in
the street food areas. Also this eliminates that no street food vendor,
supplier will be un hygienic (Couple of years back in pune one of the pani
puri vendor habituated to urinated in the tumbler and used the same
tumbler for serving the panipuri, a girl videoed the same from her
apartment which is adjacent to the vendor.. like this kind of persons many
as they do not want to leave the business place, in case they get urgent
urine etc they do the same... also they may not clean the utensils or may
be un healthy with communicable diseases like sever cold, cough, skin
diseases, STD and scratching everywhere including in the gore-ions region,
and use the same hand for food preparation all these can be avoided for
real hygienic street food; also making it mandatory for every street food
stall there should be minimum of four people, one for cash collection, one
for service of food, one for cleaning of the utensils, one for preparing the
food. This measure will create not only employment, but also ensures
people get hygienic food at affordable prices.
Also government must make it mandatory that all street food vendors
should be provided with mobile app for mobile cash, and anyone can
transfer the money, also there should be a facility that government must
provide special plastic coins, open electronic swipe cards for the public with
fixed denominations with initial fee and they can recharge the same with
mobile money or bank card or at any of the designated places, exclusively
for street food so that there is no need for cash transactions at the street
food centres and it is fact that most of the money circulated (rupee notes)
in the street food centres contain millions of bacteria; this measure ensures

Page 25 of 44

financial discipline in the street food vendors; all the above measures will
be a real win win for both street food vendors as well as common public.
Also most important is that the governments should control the food
stalls in the public places like bus stations, rail stations and more
specifically at the pilgrim places of all religions where mass movement is
existence and short stay or eat and move, which are the main centres
where substandard, unhygienic conditions of the food preparations are in
existence. This has long run impact on the health of the people who are
consuming food at such places, such food consumption leads to gastro
entities, hepatitis. The CC cameras should be made available in these
places of food preparation and service in all the public places mentioned
above, with live web casting.
The governments has to realise the fact that small expenditure in the
regulating the existing conditions, for ensuring strict implementation of
law, rules and regulations in food sector will certainly help in a great extent
towards the achievement of health care for all. Also the state governments
should prepare a white paper on number staff in the food
control
department, the periodic inspection chart, the staff is adequate
proportionate to the existing food processing industries and food outlets,
also the municipal staff adequate to the amount of garbage, drainage,
sewage facility maintenance, are the health & sanitation staff are adequate
proportionate to the restaurants and canteens and food processing
industries and to prevent the adulteration in the food products, what are
the steps taken for containing the adulteration of food products, what are
the checks and balances and accountability of the officials involved in the
above process etc.
RESTRICTIONS ON RE USE
COMMERCIAL FOOD OUTLETS

OF

ALREADY

USED

OIL

IN

ALL

Also there should be restrictions on re use of already used oil, in the

food preparation, either in the food processing units or in restaurants;
there should be standard norms for use of different oils, for different
applications, there should be limit for maximum number times an oil is
reusable, standard methods to identify the used oil to discard (based on
colour, texture/ thickness/ viscosity etc) a maximum of two times re use of
oil permitted in general, (i.e one first time and one more time)and third
time on wards the oil should be discarded from using in food preparations;
this measure ensures reduction of several heath disorder, as reusing oil
can create free radicals which cause ailments in the long run. Free
radicals attach themselves to healthy cells and lead to diseases. These
free radicals can be carcinogenic i.e. can cause cancer and also
atherosclerosis which can lead to increase in bad cholesterol levels,
blocking the arteries. Some other potential health risks of reusing oil
include, Acidity, Heart disease, Alzheimers and Parkinsons disease,
Page 26 of 44

Irritable throat (due to inhalation), due to re use of same heated oil for
several times, (chips, snacks, especially non veg snacks, etc where the
deep fries are done heating the same oil for several times after once it is
completely brought to room temperature), also different oils have different
smoke point temperatures, so once used the oil, the smoke point
temperature of that oil will get reduced, so on the re use if the oil gives
smoke, then its indication that that oil should be discarded.
Also it should be ideal that government make it mandatory that all
manufacturers of oil provide details of best use of oil, how to identify the oil
to discard after reuses, in addition it should be mandatory to display the
photographs, steps, of how to identify the re-used oil, time to discard the
re used oil, by the common public, whether it is in restaurants, or small
road side shops should mandatorily display the same near the kitchen. Also
there should be stringent punishments starting with heavy fine, to rigorous
imprisonment for violation of this measure. As it is a fact that Cancers are
on rise in INDIA, which need to take all preventive measures. So there
should be standard chart with photographs of colour change of different re
used oils, smoke points, measures to identify the time to time to discard
the reused oil, etc in every restaurant; Also there should be public
awareness about the need for discarding the heated used oil, and use the
oil judiciously at home, not to use the once heated oil several times.
Also for all the commercial food processing units, like chips, wafers
etc manufacturers, and in restaurants, even the road side pokada shops
should mandatorily file monthly use of oil/ oil consumption with bills of
purchase should be submitted to the food inspection department of that
district, also all the food processing industry units associations should set
standards of quantity of use based on the process.
MANDATORY HENCE FORTH ALL KITCHENS IN RESTAURANTS TO BE
IN GLASS CHAMBERS, MUST BE OPEN TO PUBLIC FOR INSPECTION
FOR ENSURING HYGIENIC PREPARATIONS
Also it should be made mandatory that hence forth all the food
preparation areas should be in full clear glass chambers/ rooms with public
display and public should be allowed to view/ go and inspect the food
preparation area of all food processing units and also restaurants, it should
be non bail able crime to deny the right to view/ visit/ inspect the kitchen/
food preparation area. All the kitchens should be hygienic all the time.
MANDATORY HEALTH CHECK UP FOR PEOPLE WORKING IN FOOD
PROCESSING INDUSTRY
Also it should be mandatory that the chefs, the assistants to chefs,
the persons who works in the kitchens and the persons who are serving the
food, at the packing of the food should mandatorily undergo periodic health
Page 27 of 44

check up regarding any communicable diseases; it should be the duty of

the individual to inform to the manager of the food processing industry/
restaurant regarding any illness / diseases such as flue/ viruses sneezing/
running nose/ loose motions or any skin diseases, STD etc daily before
reporting to duty, also it should be the responsibility of the management to
maintain health records of all people working in food industry and with
periodic in house health check up by the management at the expenses of
the management for check up and providing clearance certification for not
having any such diseases which will be a threat to others if the worker
performs duty.
MANDATORY WEARING OF HAND GLOVES, APRON, NOSE & MOUTH
MASK, HEAD COVER WHILE PREPARING FOOD
Also it should be made mandatory that all people who are involved in
food preparation, (including cleaning, cutting, stirring etc) and serving at
all places whether in companies or small MSME/ SHG / individuals, or in
five star restaurants or small snack/Tiffin centres on road side they should
follow the condition of wearing the appropriate clean, hygienic hand gloves,
mouth& nose apron, and full apron. Also it should be made mandatory that
they should take full head bath before entering the food preparation
process with option to perform their religious rituals before cooking.
MANDATORY STERILISATION OF UTENSILS IN ALL RESTAURANTS,
FOOD EATERIES, COMPLETE BAN ON USE OF POLYETHYLENE BAGS
FOR PACKING FOOD PACKING, USE OF PAPER PLATES WHICH
CONTAIN BLEACHING AGENTS.
Also it is fact that most of the food serving places in the restaurants
just clan the plates with limited water availability (other than five star
restaurants), especially in the small and medium restaurants, and also in
most tea stalls, most road side food eateries, most serve the food in the
same plate, glass, multiple times which are just dipped in the water and
dried by wiping with wet cloth to look like fresh, or even some do not do
even this just put in limited water and allow them to dry and same limited
water being used multiple times to clean multiple utensils, also some small
food outlets just serve the food in paper plates (which are mostly recycled
paper, and such paper plates contain harmful chemicals like dioxin which is
used as bleaching agent for whitening of the paper pulp), also most of the
tea stalls serve the tea hot in small plastic glass, also some serve the hot
oil fried Pakorads, Samosas etc in printed news papers, also most of them
serve Bhel Puri with lemon juice squeezed in it is served in news papers,
Also in most road side / small ready to eat cooked food serving centres
even though situated in metros near the so called multinational software
companies they service the hot food may be very hygienic and tasty but
served in steel plates or plastic plates with putting one colourless
polyethylene sheet on that plate, to use the plate multiple times without
Page 28 of 44

wash, just by throwing the polyethylene paper and wipe the plate with
cloth and ready to re use for them, its rely silly that the so called software
professionals who earn high pocket salaries without knowing the harmful
effects eats almost daily the same, after all the hot food served in thin
polyethylene causes lot of health disorders due to dilute harmful chemicals
go along with the food to the consumer, also similar way most of the high
income earning so called business people get hot tea in plastic polyethylene
bags; its really a dangerous as most of them contain harmful chemicals,
also food served, raped in the news papers causes health hazards as
printing ink is a chemical, plus most of the news papers are fully recycled
papers, with dust being used ones, causes long term effects on the people
who are eating in this manner. So government must fist ban manufacture
of polyethylene glass, in addition use of plastic glass for serving the tea, in
addition government must ban manufacturing of paper cups, paper plates
which contain bleaching power, only eco friendly paper cups, paper plates
which do not contain bleaching agents can be permitted to use, in addition
complete ban on serving, packing ready to eat food on news papers.
Also government must make it mandatory that all food serving should
be done in either ceramic crockery or in steel or glass utensils only, in
addition all food preparing, serving utensils must be sterilised, the best and
simple method is most traditional way to sterilize all forms of cooking
equipment is to boil them in boiling water. Adding some salt to the water
will help in the disinfecting process and it will slightly increase the boiling
temperature of the water.
Also caustic soda also can be used for
sterilisation. Also government must ensure all fruit juice centres serve the
juices either in disposable glasses or should sterilize the glasses before
serving. The advantage of this system is that the utensils can be used
immediately after sterilization after minimum of thirty minutes to boil
before it is safe to take them out. Also it should be made mandatory that
all government schools, welfare hostels, all canteens, in work place,
hospitals should mandatorily sterilise the utensils for cooking and serving
food every time, Also stringent punishments for violation of these norms.
Also it should be made mandatory that water use audit should be
mandatory for all the restaurants and food eateries where they should have
sufficient water for getting permission to run the restaurant or food eatery
even the street food eatery. Also it should be made mandatory that all food
courts and road site food eateries should mandatorily use the appropriate
dust bins, also ensure that municipal authorities make clean or else they
should form association and employ some Safai Karmacharies to clean the
area, also there should not be any garbage or open drainage in the food
outlets.
Also it should be made mandatory that no workers in the
restaurants, food courts should sleep on the restaurant premises where
people eat food, food prepared, unless otherwise they have special
provision for sleeping within the premises. All these measure will certainly
improve lot of health of millions of people.

 MEASURES TO REDUCE USE OF PLASTIC IN FOOD UNITS,BY COMMON

PEOPLE; MOBILE APP FOR REPORTING TO GOVT TO PREVENT USE
Also in order to reduce the use of plastic, also to ensure better
products are sold especially the perishable items like vegetables, fruits etc,
the government must ban packaging of vegetables in any retail out lets,
including the super markets. This measure ensures people get quality
vegetables, graded vegetables, and the environment pollution due to
plastic will get reduce, also people get choice to chose, and they get
satisfaction. As it is fact that most of the retailers who are selling the
packaged raw vegetables/ fruits are putting/mixing/adulterating certain
percentage of about to perish, or of sub standard quality products and
packing and selling, by this it is not only loss to consumers, but also there
is health risk for the consumers. Also government must ban packing or
serving hot foods / fluids in plastic plates, glasses.
Also government must create an app for the reporting on use of
plastic bags by the vendors as well as common public, and once any one
click the photograph using this app, it should automatically get up loaded
to the concerned local authorities so that local authorities for further action
on the person selling/ using the plastic bags. Also there should be stringent
punishment for the manufacturers and retailers of the plastic/ polyethylene
bags, Also heavy fine for the individual users; Also government must
provide concession for jute bags and cloth bags manufacturing, purchase;
also to the paper bags; This measure will not only reduce the use of plastic
bags, protecting environment, but also improves the hygienic surroundings
in line with SWATCH BHARAT.
BAN OF READY MADE MODERN FAST FOODS, AERATED DRINKS IN
EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS, WORK PLACES, AND HOSPITALS AND
EVEN IN RAILWAY STATIONS, BUS STATIONS, AIRPORTS
Also government must ban sale of aerated cool drinks in educational
institutions, work place canteens, hospitals, even in railway stations, bus
stations, and on highway junctions, as it is fact that its really tedious in
journeys and at that time what is required is fruit juices, butter milk etc
which provide nutrients to the body to provide energy and reduce strain,
not the aerated cool drinks, its up to the travellers if they carry with them,
but government must ensure no aerated drinks availed in the railway
stations, bus stations, and all highway food courts; only fruit juices, fresh
juices, or fresh fruits, and some healthy snacks which are air fried, or
INDIAN traditional food should be available for sale in these places, with
complete ban of sale of fast foods, deep fry foods etc in these areas. Also
government must ban sale of so called small eats in the immediate vicinity
of the educational institutions, pan shops, cigarette shops, alcohol
beverage shops in addition coffee shops that provide liquor, mild alcoholic
beverages like beer should not be permitted within 500 meters radius of
Page 30 of 44

the educational institutions, also in the vicinity of the railway stations, bus
stations and all high way junctions.
Also all government, private organisations, schools, collages with
certain number of employees (say 500 and above, all hospitals with more
than 100 visitors per day) should mandatorily maintain a canteen facility/
food sale outlet within the premises of the organisation; (all those other
organisations can maintain canteens or get food from akshiya patra
foundation like organisations on regular contract bases), also it should be
made mandatory that in such office canteens the lunch should be provided
to all the employees in work place, by mandatorily deducting from salary
for the lunch (50% cost of the lunch, remaining 50% should be beard by
the employer), so that most of the employees get quality nutritious food
during the lunch, it also eliminates burden for the house hold to prepare
lunch box to the working person, as it is fact that most of the working
persons skip lunch, especially working in private companies, more
specifically the software employees, instead they just adjust with some fast
food; this leading to serious health disorders for them. Also it should be the
responsibility of the employer to provide Tea and Healthy snacks during tea
break to rejuvenate employees to work more dedicatedly.
3) MEASURES FOR STRINGENT
PACKAGED PROCESSED FOOD

QUALITY

CONTROL,

OF

ALL

In order to ensure stringent quality control there should be a virtual

private network of manufacturer, distributor and retailers for sale of all
packaged food either raw/processed FMCG products or this should be open
to public. Also this measure ensures that how much quantity of products
manufactured and how much products sold, what is left in the stock, and it
enables the quality check staff to identify the excess stock at retailers/
distributors as contra brand/ adulterated products. Also it should be
mandatory on the part of the manufacturers association of a particular
product to create a quality control team, and also should have a centralised
monitoring of the process of manufacture among the same fraternity of
products, to view the live web cam and maintain to monitor the process by
a team of quality control among the association members (this is in
addition to government quality control)
Also there should be four tire quality control systems in place
1)
Internal Quality Control by the manufacturer daily, the quality of raw
material, the hygienic conditions of the manpower, machine, surroundings,
and the every batch of the finished product manufactured.
2)
From among the manufacturers association of the same type of
product, every batch of finished product out from each manufacturer at
their labs, in addition quality checks at the premises of the each
Page 31 of 44

manufacturer half yearly, and on daily bases the hygienic conditions of food
storage, processing, packing through online real time web cc camera
monitoring.
3)
State government quality control collecting samples of all brands once
in six months from all districts in the state and test of all packaged foods
products.
4)
Central government quality control, Collect the samples of all brands
once in in a year from all states
Also government must make it mandatory that all industries other
than MSME should possess latest quality testing & quality control
laboratories, they should display in their website and also should
mandatorily file returns regarding the quality control equipment they are
possessing and also the qualified / certified quality control staff in that
organisation, this should be more particular in all processed food
industries; also it should be mandatory hence forth that every processed
food industry should employ one qualified nutritionist, and qualified food
expert (like every pharmacy retailer /medical shop requires one qualified
pharmacist); also there should be private / mature/ independent
nutritionist to certify the content for calories on each packaged food that is
done in MSME with turnover of the company/firm not exceeding ten lakh
per annum. Also it should be mandatory that all companies including MSME
should year mark 5% of their turnover for the quality control/ quality
testing/ quality certification and hygiene manufacturing certification.
Also there should be quality Control certification for MSME/SHG
products in the rural areas, so its very need of the hour that Government
set up high tech quality control laboratories in each district in the first
phase and in almost each Mandal/ Block in second phase, this should be a
common Quality Testing Lab with powers to issue certification for the
products of processed food. This labs also for acting against complaints for
failure of quality standards; this measure not only ensures quality food is
available for the people of INDIA but also it provides to employment to
several thousand/ lakhs of people across the country.; when government is
planned to do Soil testing Laboratories across the country then the quality
testing laboratories in each district and mandal should not be an issue to
the government.
Its a fact that due to establishing quality testing laboratories and
ensuring quality food either raw/ processed made available to people in
INDIA there will be a drastic improvement in health of the people of the
country, especially the youth of the country, thus there will a great
reduction in the expenditure on health care by the individuals in the
country, in addition due to good health and fitness, the quality of work
improves, hence the production improves to a great
due to better
Page 32 of 44

utilisation, enhanced millions man-hours. This improves GDP and thus the
progress and development of individual as well as Nation occurs. Thus
Government must focus on quality control; quality testing and quality
certification of each and every field, especially the food sector and it can
provide tremendous positive results in INDIA. for this there should be
training courses in quality control in each sector. This will not only provide
employment, but also ensures over all development of heath of individuals
as well as nation
If the quality control and quality testing are of the International
standards then there is every scope for improvement of IMPORTS BY
OTHER COUNTRIES for the products manufactured in INDIA. Also when
INDIA is competing with the developed nation why the people of the INDIA
should eat / consume sub standard products. Also the quality control
Labourites should perform rigorous quality checks for the products
imported, so that sub standard products from any country be sold in
INDIA, especially in food sector/ processed food.
Also the measure of bar coding of consumer products and putting on
the web the details of products in circulation with retailers will make the
job of the central and state sales tax departments to just click the button
to identify the turnovers of the products, (in case those products which do
not have bar coding like fresh vegetables etc ; the list of non bar code-able
products should be made by the government) will ensure maximum
percentage of turnover of the retailers can be covered. The tax collection
can be enhanced; also it reduces adulterated food to a great extent.
MANDATORY QUALIFIED/ CERTIFIED QUALITY CONTROL PERSONS IN
EVERY RESTAURANT
Also it should be mandatory henceforth that every restaurant in India
should have one quality controller cum nutritionist to certify the food raw
material is quality and the food prepared (process of food preparation with
ingredients) adhere to safety standards with all ingredients like salt, sugar,
etc are well within the limits of normal human consumption, in case of so
called special dishes there should be clear indication of warning of excess of
sugar, salt etc; also it should be made mandatory that all food preparations
for ready to eat perishable stock with no shelf life of few hours of shelf life
(like breakfast, snacks, lunch items), should indicate the quantity of these
basic substances each item wise and also in total printed on the menu card.
Displayed on the table in a book let form.
In case of street food/ fast food joints, they should clearly display at
the board about the ingredients quality, permissible limits as per standards
in each item wise, the Oil used, the bills for the purchase of oil, milk etc for
public understanding and scrutiny. And daily board display of use of fresh
oil, from seal pack and not adulterated one, with purchase details, so that
Page 33 of 44

the visitors can verify in the details are genuine or not by clicking the
mobile app; also it should be made mandatory that all oil purchases for
commercial use should obtain the bill from the retailer and should display
at the kitchen for ensuring authentic oil use, also it should be made
mandatory that the oil consumption details should be clearly displayed on
the board by street food vendors, also in the restaurants and the quality
control person in the restaurant should up load the same to government
health department daily, in case of street food centres the same should b
sent by sms or through their billing machine to the government daily. Also
in multi-cuisine restaurants where both vegetarian and non vegetarian
there should be two spate chefs, for preparing veg and non veg, also the
utensils, the serving plates should be separate, with green dot on backside
for vegetarian utensils and red dot for non veg utensils., it should be the
duty and responsibility of the food court management as well as the quality
control person to ensure separate cooks, cooking vessels, utensils, serving
plates for veg and non veg in all restaurants whether small or big or even
the road side street food stalls. Also it should be the responsibility of the
quality control person to ensure food preparations / service are not
contaminated at any stage, & fresh quality food is served to the customers.
WAYS & MEANS OF IDENTIFYING ADULTERATION, CONTAMINATION
MANDATORY SHOP KEEPERS/ RETAILERS SUBMIT DAILY TRADE
DETAILS ONLINE TO GOVERNMENT; WIDE SPREAD AWARENESS
CAMPS ACROSS LENGTH AND BREADTH OF INDIA
Also there should be vigorous awareness regarding the ways and
means of identifying quality products across the country, regarding types of
adulteration of various products, at various stages, the look, the smell, the
taste before cooking, after cooking etc.
Also it should be made mandatory that all packaged food should be
bar coded and every shop keeper should mandatorily possess the bar
coding reader machine and billing machine and provide bill for every
purchase. Ideal government ensure every shop keeper should possess a
tablet PC with pre loaded accounting software in local language and train
the shop keepers to do all inventory, stock, trade recoded daily in the
account books so that government will get information on the trade
happing on daily bases. Like banks close their daily account daily, it should
be mandatory on the part of every retailer to up load the stock position
daily at the end of the trading hours. Also the same individual product wise
should go the manufacturer/ importer of the product in the supply chain so
that they too can have the idea of movement of their stock; Al;so since
government already announced encouraging debit card/ credit card
paymentsin all retail outlets with incentives of reduction in VAT to the
retailers who has over 50% of their turnover receive payments through
cards, in future there should almost total cash less transactions that
contain all sorts of maladies in the trade, whether it is adulteration, or
Page 34 of 44

duplication or zero bill trade etc all can be fixed to a great extent. Also
government create a mobile app for reading bar coding by the consumers
or by the way of sms-ing the bar code number the consumers can identify
the authenticity of the manufacture, the date of manufacturer the date of
expiry, the authorised retailer, the product is original and not duplicate by
authenticating the sale of the product not done previously by the same bar
code elsewhere.
Also ideal that government supply simple/ basic quality testing
machines/equipment to all villages/wards in the country and provide
training to the
the Gram Panchayat office how to use them, Also
government make wide spread awareness through TV, Radio, News papers
and in all SHGs and in all slums, and in all villages through sarpanches
and Gram Panchayat office bearers regarding
various types of
adulteration, contamination (adding, mud, stones etc,)
and how to
identifying them, identifying the packaged product originality by the SMS,
mobile app etc, and use of simple tests for identifying the adulterated
products, and also use of only fresh products, and healthy habits; also
making it mandatory that vendors/ retailers them-self possess the simple,
primary quality check instruments for all foods specially edible oils, milk etc
which should be otherwise supplied by the Manufacturers, importers
associations in INDIA of that product, it should be made mandatory that all
retailers should perform such quality test in camera if any of the
consumer/customer demand. Also government must provide subsidy for
simple/primary quality check instruments for individual use so the each
house hold can buy such instruments and do quality check at home (in
camera ideal to record video through mobile or any video recording device)
itself and in case found deviations then they should immediately report it to
the concerned authorities; also government should supply such primary
quality check instruments to every MRO/ VRO office and train them to do
so in camera. Also the Gp , MRO, VRO should ensure periodic quality tests
for the hygienic surroundings of food preparation, quality raw material, and
other utilities supplied to the SC ST OBC welfare hostels, government
midday meals and also for the anganwadies and old age homes in their
respective territorial jurisdiction, and a monthly dossier reports should be
sent online with video/photographs of the inspection reports for ensuring
quality food, supplied reaches to the people.
Also there should a toll free complaint for containing adulteration and
if any one who comes across, or who is aware of/notice happening of any
adulteration can inform the government and the details of such persons
should be kept confidential, and also there should be 20% of prize money
reward for such information about the adulterated product manufacturing.

Page 35 of 44

4) MEASURES TO CONTAIN DUPLICATE, CONTRA BRAND SALE IN

THE COUNTRY, ENSURING QUALITY STANDARDS MAINTAINED
EVEN IN PRODUCTS MANUFACTURED BY MSME/SHG
Also government must make it mandatory that all the product
manufacturers should maintain website including MSME & SHG (in future
after completion of Rural Broad Brand connectivity); All the product of
same nature (like noodles, tea, biscuits, chocolates etc)should be
categorised and made available on the website of government, and also the
territory of their product availability/ sale (districts, states, countries), and
also each packaged product should possess bar coding printed on it; for
MSME/SHG/ Other Micro/tiny Manufacturers need to paste the Bar-coded
strip like EMS Speed post bar coding sticker obtained from government,
wither they can print the stickers online by submitting their details, details
of the product and the third party quality certification number, also there
should be audit/ accountability of all the bar coded strip downloaded/
printed by each MSME/SHG, for this they should use the nearby internet
centre or government any how ensuring rural broad band, every Gram
panchayat should be connected with board band, and through the GP
office computer internet connection thy can download the bar coded strips,
alternatively they can have portable hand held 3G operated billing
machines which they can connect it to their mobile or tablet PC and
download and print the bar coded strip bills; its ideal that government
provide tablet PC to all MSME/SHG with pre loaded accounts software as
well as bar coding app; so that any one buying the product anywhere
should able to get product manufacturrs, date of manufacturing, expiry
date, quantity of the product, their licence number etc; this ensures not
only more quality controlled products due to accountability of the
manufacturers as per standards , but also it increases the marketability of
the MSME/SHG products across the Country. Also the products can be
searched either by the manufacturer name or the product category or by
the main ingredients in the product, each manufacturer details should be
visible to the common public.
In addition for the government must get information on day to day
bases the manufacturers should up load/ display clearly the source point of
raw material, the quantity of raw material, the wastage of raw material in
the manufacturing process the available machinery, the number of
workers, salaries for each worker, the annual salaries, the quantity of
electricity consumption per shift, the cost of raw material, the inventory of
raw material and stock in hand both raw material and finished products,
goods in transit etc to ensures the raw material is of the quality and also
the details of the nutritionists, food quality controllers should be clearly
visible in the government website details submitted by the manufacturer to
the government on daily bases on automatic up date, this measure will
certainly reduce to a great extent the adulterated, sub standard, duplicate
/contra brands manufacturing, sale in INDIA.

in their menstrual cycle days are impure/un hygienic as such they are
barred from performing religious rituals during their menstrual days or in
some religions even they are barred from touching religious books, altar
etc, in Hindu religion they are kept away from the main home and are
barred from performing cooking; and its a open secret that even till date
majority of the house hold in India women during their menstrual days do
not perform religious rituals at home or visit the temples or any other
religious functions, and also it is an open secret that in some castes/
section of people who are considered as most orthodox will not allow their
women to perform cooking during their menstrual days. But the fact of the
matter as per biological since is by natures default settings women will
shed down their blood to prepare themselves for reproduction with full
energy, also it is fact that most of the adult girls & women during their
menstrual days feel weakness, tediousness, pale, irritating, due to the
hormone imbalance, and metabolic changes in them during those days,
compounding to it most of the women in India are Anaemic already, also it
is an open secret that many adult girls/ women in their menstrual days
come across health disorders like severe stomach ache, head ace, even
Page 37 of 44

some feel depressed, all leading to loss of concentration at work for all
working women; keeping in view of both religious sentiments as well as
scientific reasons government must enact law banning women who are
under their monthly menstrual cycle should grant paid leave for working
women, in addition barring women attend for work (only during menstrual
days) in food processing industry, related fields food preparation/serving
the food in any part of the country; this paid leave during menstrual days
and barring women to work in food processing industry during those
menstrual days every month should be applicable to all places of
employment whether it is in government or private including domestic
hep, MNREGA workers,; Also it should be up to the women whether she is
willing to work during her menstrual monthly days in all other sectors
except in food preparation/ packing the food/serving the food (either in
restaurants or even in airlines whether women should be barred from
working during those days.
Its a fact that still the majority of the adolescent girls & women in
India do not have access/afford/use the hygienic sanitary napkins. In this
conditions it is very ideal to implement this measure of keeping the women
away from food processing during their monthly menstrual cycle is very
appropriate. We have to trust the women voluntarily, truthfully take leave/
keep themselves away from food preparation during their monthly
menstrual cycle days (some women may use this leave for other personal
purposes, and may attend food preparation during their menstrual dates
cheating, but such percentage who cheats themselves is very low/may not
be there, still in order to avoid such situation, all working women should be
asked to perform religious rituals in the place of work according their
religious faith daily in their work place, so that hardly there is no scope for
women cheating taking leave for personal purposes and attended work
during their monthly menstrual days; this measure will certainly improve
the quality of the products, in addition very positive vibrations prevail at
work place as all women working in the food processing performing daily
religious rituals during their presence in office brings prosperity to the
employer, considering women in normal days (other than during menstrual
days) as auspicious, goddess of Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth; also there
should be severe punishments for women cheating and availing this leave
on other days or not availing and attending food processing work during
their menstrual days), which can be identified by the HR department
through their earlier records, subjected to health check up in the hospitals.
Also in order to ensure privacy of the women to apply for leave during
those days, it should be mandatory hence forth all office establishments,
shop floor should have HR department, Supervisors who look after
attendance etc should be women only, so that there will not be any issue
for women to share their problems with other women in their organisation;
else there should be a provision that the senior most women in the
organisation can deal with all such leaves; also in order to ensure work in
Page 38 of 44

the organisation, factory did not hamper, the all the work that women
which women perform should be trained to other men, women so that in
case of women in crucial work places go on leave during those days, the
other trained persons in the organisation can take up their job during their
leave, in addition also it is ideal that some stand by people to be trained in
basic processing / skill development in every sectors (which GOI is
announced to do so along with Industry), and they should be recruited on
contract bases during those days. Since in Hospitality industry near about
50% of total employees are women, the government must provide training
for un employed in that sector, similarly al other sectors, so that even
some more additional employment can be generated in the form of
temporary contract employment, also most of the house wifes can get
training in various technical, non technical, etc and they should be utilised
for filling the temporary positions in case of acute need for staff in the
absence of working women on leave during their monthly menstrual days.
Also ideal that government provide leave for men for their wifes in monthly
menstrual days to take care of the family, for cooking, performing daily
religious rituals at home etc. This leave should be only for the men who are
in nucleolus families, with children below 18 years of age.
Also it is a fact that by and large, majority of the working women will
be happy to stay at home during their monthly menstrual days due to the
fact that they are psychologically feel relived from un known stress being
out side during those days. Having been said that there should be
exceptional cases where women can perform their work during their
monthly menstrual cycle for such as Doctors, (not nurses because there is
a chance for getting infections for them from sick patients if proper care
not taken by chance), etc. Certainly not in factory shop floors, even in
construction, even by MNREGA workers, Also is it is ideal that Women in
their monthly menstrual cycle should abstain from preparing food at home,
instead the husbands or other family members should take responsibility of
preparing food during those days else some sort of arrangement they
should do. This also falls under equality of women, (Equality Planner for
wife & husband to share the responsibilities equally in all walks of life for
ensuring gender equality starts from each home, Ref my Doc Reforms in
Marriage Related Laws, Mar 2015).
Also it is fact that many women feel very uncomfortable working in
offices, commercial retail outlets, shopping complexes, shop floors, onsite
construction, especially the MNREGA women workers,
during the
menstrual cycle days, due to lack of Toilets, if existing not in usable
position, or very pathetic un hygienic conditions, nor do not exist in the
very first place or there is no women specific or general toilets, also in
majority of the toilets in working places lacks proper waste disposal, also
lacks clean water in the toilets, as a result most of the working women are
literally suffering during those days, and are getting infections, serious

Page 39 of 44

multiple heath disorders, even in some cases leading to cancers, due to

prolonged stay without going to wash room, indication of many surveys.
Since it is fact that as per Hindu Religious systems Women Do not
Visit the Temples or Perform Religious Rituals even at home do not allow
women to cook food considering that during those days spiritually their
auras will be negative and considered food as Prasad of Almighty (in most
religions in the world, either they offer the food prepared to almighty, or
pray before eating), then how come they can prepare food to be eaten by
millions of other people during their monthly menstrual cycle. There should
not be two types of morals prevail????; having been said that, if all Hindu
Women, all women all regions perform the religious rituals at their home
during their monthly menstrual cycles, in addition if they visit the Hindu
Religious places and participate and perform Religious rituals in Hindu
Worshipping places, in addition when Government able to provide free
sanitary napkins for all downtrodden/ low income group adult women in
their menstrual cycle in India, also full tax exemption on sanitary napkins,
also subsidised sanitary napkins for other income group women, ensure all
adult women in their menstrual cycle days use hygienic quality standard
sanitary napkins, in addition special women friendly toilets in appropriate
number (at least one women toilet for every 50 working women in every
organisation, with appropriate necessary clean , hygienic water in the
toilets, in addition construction of women friendly toilets with same
standards in all places like railway stations, bus stations, shopping
complexes (as many women work, visit), office complexes), ensuring all
most all adolescent women in India uses hygienic practice of use of safety
napkins, are fully healthy, and feel almost as normal as other days, then
there is no need for any kind of restriction on women during their monthly
menstrual cycle to be kept away from food preparation. In the absence of
the above it should be mandatory that women should be barred from food
preparation & serving activities during their monthly menstrual cycles.
It is really strange that how come the so called women rights
organisations, so called feminists, did not demanded for paid leave during
their monthly menstrual cycle or bring change in the religious customs
legally till date. Its really gender sensitivity following the nature, also more
strange, surprise is that the so called orthodox religious people who claim
that they are the custodians of religious faith of Religious Sanathan
Dharma not advised the government till date about providing the paid
leave for Working Women in India to provide rest for them during their
Monthly Menstrual days, in addition to banning women to work in food
processing industry during their monthly menstrual days, how come those
who them self do propaganda, give impression to the society they are born
for ensuring sanathan dharma prevails, are eating the food prepared by
women during the menstrual days till date (in the absence of above said
provision of banning women during those days, many women working in
food processing industry, including the mineral water industry, and in so
Page 40 of 44

called five star restaurants, airlines and even in some sweet stalls women
are serving food during all days including their menstrual days, then how
come it is acceptable for them, in case they pretend that they do not eat
food outside/ packaged food, or food served by a women, then how come
two rules, one for them one for others, as it is fact they do not allow their
women to cook at home, perform religious rituals during those days, in
such case then there is no need for practice of so called sanathan
dharmas???, in case they strictly follow the so called sanathan Dharma of
keeping their women who are in menstrual cycle out of their home/ isolate
them, keep them far from kitchen in their homes, then why not they
advocate the same openly and make it legitimate, with paid holiday for
working women during those days ??????, otherwise its really utter
hypocrisy on the part of the so called religious leaders who make their
women to keep away from their personal kitchens, but other people in the
country can have food prepared by women during menstrual cycle???, in
such case they should not talk, advocate so called sanathan dharma. Also
more interestingly contrary to the very notion of the sanathan Dharma,
especially Hindu religious dharma followed by so called orthodox people in
this regard of keep their women in menstrual days out of touch with
objects, cooking, religious rituals, when the Same Hindu religion in ASSAM,
the mother goddess KAMAKYA AMMA temple will be closed for 3 days
annually, citing that Mother Goddess will be in menstrual cycle during those
here days, and Millions of people will visit the temple on re opening and
consider them self lucky to have the cloth with blood stains which is used in
menstrual cycle of Mother Goddess.
So Media should ensure wider debate and discussions, create
awareness in people of the country, especially girls and women to make it
a national movement and create positive pressure on the government, as it
is fact that most of the people in apex, decision making level in politics,
government, Trade Unions, Ngos, even in films, so called rights activists
and in even in Media are occupied by people belonging to so called
orthodox religious families/family trees, with notion that they are
considered as most pure, most knowledge people, always either in power
or advises the power centres, somehow control the rest of the entire
population of the country with their brain irrespective of political party in
power, irrespective of any territory failed the women of the country till
date, they should do self introspection whether such traditions are followed
by their family members or not even now, if yes how far it is appropriate.
But the fact of the matter is most of them, even though how much
educated they are, how much most up to date modern they are, elite,
some of them fully indulged in culture of smoking, alcohol consumption,
womanising, prostitution, adultery, gambling, even some addicted to
narcotics, with all such illegitimate activities are not a taboo for them
which are considered derogatory in the sanantan dharma, but coming to
this point of menstrual girls/ women in their family, during their monthly
menstrual days they practice/ impose un official banning women in their
Page 41 of 44

personal homes, making their women in monthly menstrual days to

abstain from preparing food in their home or lighting lamp in their home
worshipping place, nor allow them to participate in religious functions,
rituals, allow them to visit worshipping places, strictly following this un
official ban of their women is right for them????????? How do they justify
this double standards in one or other manner, what they should follow at
home considering it is best practice also should be followed in the
country?????, So all stake holders in the society, the Religious leaders and
government womens rights organisations, private industry, must work in
tandem taking on board all womens rights organisations to decide on the
matter, either paid holiday for working women during their menstrual days
with complete ban on women working in food processing, serving food,
even touching food during these days in the public/ commercial food
processing, servicing or lift the un official ban of women from abstaining
from food preparation at homes, worshipping by women at their home &
religious worshipping places; its not blasphemy, nor misogynist but reality.
If GOI is really for gender equality, gender neutrality, gender sensitivity
then they should take either of the decision. Also its really the best / top
most gender sensitisation, gender equality/ proper respect for the female
gender. This measure is really boon for all women in the country; its really
appreciable, if GOI and the Prime minster take up the matter seriously not
only at national level, but also at international level to grant paid leave for
women during their monthly menstrual cycle, in the lines of making
International Day of Yoga. The entire women in the world will appreciate
the move, as they get benefited out of this in all means.
CONCLUSION
Since at present the quality testing and quality control in India do not mach
any developed countries, Government need to ensure that Quality control
and standards are maintained in all sectors, especially in food processing
industry, in addition there should systems in place to check adulteration,
contra brand sub standard products made illegally causing tremendous
health disorders ad life risk for innocent people. The above mentioned
suggestions like mandatory bar coding of packaged foods, four tired quality
control system, tax concessions on individual simple/basic quality testing at
homes, mandatory basic testing at retailer, quality controllers at each food
processing unit/restaurant, also ensuring stringent norms for packaged
water manufacture and sale with complete details of manufacture, source
of water, machinery, territory of sale, with bar coding of each pack, and
sale of each pack can be tracked, containing contra brand sale with
complete details of date of manufacture, retailers etc, mobile app to read
the bar code or typing the bar-code by SMS request; also mandatory for
all educational institutions, work places, (offices or shop floors), all
hospitals and all railway stations, all bus stations, and all food processing
industries and in all restaurants should have Reverse Osmosis plants for
purification of water and must use only the RO water and not packaged
Page 42 of 44

drinking water, with installation of RO water dispensers at the entrance, in

each floor in multi floor buildings, periodic maintenance, ensuring absolute
hygienic surroundings all time at the RO water dispensers, Installation of
RO water plants in every village and every slum by the government and
provide RO water at very nominal rate; Also complete ban of sale of lose
Edible oil, all packs of edible oil are bar coded with making details of brand
wise edible oils available on web with location of retail sale, and banning
use of multiple times heated oil in all commercial places, food processing
industry, Also complete ban on sale of calcium carbide to individuals,
complete monitoring of industries using calcium product and stringent
quantity audits for its disposal, which is used for fruit ripening, also
complete ban of growing vegetables, especially leafy vegetables in
contaminated waters, polluted waters; mandatory source of raw material
for all vegetable, non veg retailers, also restricting the sale of oxytocin
injections, which are used for enhancing milk production, to be sold only on
medical prescription, with complete address proof, phone number for each
sale, stringent monitoring on the companys manufacturing such products
with strict audit for raw material use, outcome of the product; also
mandatory qualified quality expert in every food processing industry, third
party quality certification for MSME and SHG food processing, setting limits
for use of all ingredients like salt, sugar, other components in all packaged
food products, also mandatory transparent packaging of most of the
packaged food products, especially the edible oils etc with only 50% of the
pack allowed for brand, other product information, rest of the 50% of the
pack areas should be fully clear transparent visible; also introducing
mechanism of virtual private network between all retailers and
manufacturers with mechanism to track the sale of each packaged food
online real time, by the manufacturer and the date of expiry batches should
be made available to the government and the system to recall & destroy
the expiry dated products and mechanism to adjust in the books of
accounts of both retailer and manufacturer for out of turnover, tax
preview; complete ban of sale of perishable items in plastic/ polyethylene
packs in retail shops for not only reducing environmental pollution, but also
preventing retail shops pack portion of substandard products in that pack,
also ensures choice for the customers to chose from among the lot, also
mobile app for clicking & automatic upload to the municipal authorities for
use of plastic bags, severe punishments for manufacturers, distributors and
retailers of the polyethylene bags, also fine for the people who are
carrying/using polyethylene bags in public. Also encouraging use organic
food, reduction of chemical fertilizers and chemical pesticides, through
providing incentives for organic farmers, etc will certainly lead to
availability of quality standard food to the people leading to good health
leading to overall increase in man-hours which leads to increase in
production, GDP and Development of nation.
Since it is fact that Gender Equality is only on the papers and buzz word,
and equally the Gender sensitivity, So there is acute need for
Page 43 of 44

establishment of Gender Equality and Gender sensitivity in India and also

in the World; it is fact that the nature designed the metabolism of Women
for reproduction, and prepare them to its full potential every month
through their menstrual cycles; and it is fact that as per history women are
better care takers of the children and family and men being having strong
body structure meant for hunting and getting the food in earlier times, but
times has changed, women are competing with men in all field, in fact
women out shine men in banking, finance and many other fields, but al the
same time they cannot overcome the natures design of their metabolic
changes; it is fact that most of the women feel loss of energy, feel tired
during their menstrual days, and also it is fact that from times immemorial
religious faith, sanathan Dharma of almost all religions across the world
has set some norms for women in menstrual days like not to cook, not to
perform religious rituals etc also may be with the intention of providing
rest, which was later on destroyed and termed as impure and sin, what s
ever may be the reason behind it , but it should be applied in the larger
interest in the world in a more advantageous way to women by ensuring all
working women to be provided paid leave during the menstrual days, also
at the same time respecting the religious dharmas, and complete ban of
women working in food processing industry during their monthly menstrual
days will be a win win for both women as well as the religion, which is in
the larger interest; in addition to caring heath of adult women government
must provide tax concessions on sanitary napkins in India, in addition to
providing free sanitary napkins to all downtrodden adult girls and women
for ensuring hygienic health for them, all leading to over all development of
the county as healthy women is healthy family, at the same time religious
dharmas which are the driving force of the world providing moral strength,
of course physical strength should be ensured through good food or over all
development of individuals as well as nation as a whole.
