2. Steps needed for Pharma Vision 2020
We should empower the Pharma industry to go into molecule to drug formulation through public-private partnership mode. From the license production, we should enter into value added innovative drug development. We should also focus now on nano medicine, it’s design, development and manufacturing. We have to capture large share in Generic medicine market and focus on specific special medicines. Hence it is essential to create Health city infrastructure in 5 zones in the country, which will empower the Pharma industry to achieve its vision 2020.

3. The growing inequality between the rich and the poor; the lack of inclusive growth.
We should achieve the following missions with determination:

If we follow the above steps, we can certainly increase our competitiveness, human development index and innovation index.

Ultimately, we should measure our growth with NPI (National Prosperity Index) = GDP + Lifting the people who are below poverty line and provide productive value added employment there by increasing the percapita income + Adaptation of Value system in the human life.

NPI will give you how each government has spent its mandate to bring inclusive growth in the society and bring equitable growth in the country.

9. Biotechnology and pharmacy is increasing at rapid pace, but there is a shortage of medicine to the people, so how a common man gets medicines at cheaper rate?
Our production has to increase. Hospitals can be given medicines without costly packaging in bulk form, particularly far generic fast moving medicines. Application of nano technology can reduce the dosage to 1/10th further reducing the cost.
