3. Brief Description of the system
India being signatory to the UN Convention on Psychotropic Substances,1971 is obligated to put in place the control mechanism as provided for in the Convention. It is also required to submit periodical statistical data on manufacture, stock, acquisition, utilization, import / export, and consumption of psychotropic substances to the International Narcotics Control Board (INCB), Vienna every year by 30th June. This data is also used by the INCB for fixing the assessment of psychotropic substances for a country. Since the administrative structure for Drug Control in India is divided between various ministries/department under the Central and State Government, the collection of data from the trade take a considerable time and also inconsistency are found in the information collected, which delays the submission of statutory reports to the INCB and affecting the country’s image. In order to overcome these difficulties the Government of India has decided to develop a web based software for online registration of manufacturers and wholesalers of psychotropic substances and collection of the statistical information on manufacture, utilization, stock, trade and consumption of psychotropic substances in the country. This system will provide for online registration of manufacturers/ wholesalers and online filing of returns of psychotropic substances. The type of information which will be required to be submitted online by different user groups is available on CBN website http://cbn.nic.in/html/whatnew3.htm The stake holders are welcome to offer their feed back and suggestion on the type of information to be furnished to the Central Bureau of Narcotics through email at feedback-cbn@nic.in latest by 15th August, 2011 |
