Apart from all regulatory measures, Governments should maintain an online webplatform where every product should have a Qr/barcode linked with some govt maintained web portal. where all the reviews and ratings of the desired product is diplayed. before purchasing any product an individual can check its authenticity just by scanning the qr/bar code. Ppl should be able to comment, rate and review the product. This gives the advertisers a little room for misleading public.

Government should encourage people /organisations coming with ideas to protect interest of the people. A mechanism needs to be developed that government agency coordinating /inviting ideas should call for the person as recognition for the ideas and reward, if found useful. It will then make people more serious. Provision should also be made to send detailed proposal in hard copy. This is how human resources can be channelised into productive services.

The story of Endosulfan victims in the south Indian state of Kerala has hit the headlines time and again in Indian and international media. Many endosulfan victims have physical deformation. We need to stop further degeneration & need to have an initiative to enhance the mobility of bedridden patients, thereby improving the quality of their remaining life. http://endosulphanvictims.org/ for details.
