The requirement will become mandatory six months after the notification.The Association of Indian Medical Device Industry (AiMeD) has opposed the move, saying manufacturers are already being asked to obtain “loan licences” for using external gamma radiation or ethylene oxide (EO) sterilisation facilities.AiMeD said manufacturers had sought an exemption through the Medical Device Technical Advisory Group (MDTAG), but the new labelling requirement has instead added another compliance burden.The association said the rule could affect export shipments, as manufacturers may not be able to switch to another sterilisation facility if the one named on the packaging has a backlog or is unavailable. It claimed this could delay shipments by two to three weeks, compared with about a week earlier.AiMeD also questioned the need to print the subcontractor’s details on the product, saying manufacturers remain responsible for quality and traceability, with batch-level records already allowing the sterilisation process to be tracked.Join conversationView All Comments →Share your thoughts in the commentsInsightfulAgreeDisagreeSkepticalConcerningPromisingWorth ReadingBig DevelopmentPost CommentBe respectful · TOI community guidelinesThe industry body has sought clarity on whether overseas manufacturers and their sterilisation facilities will also need Indian licences and whether the requirement will apply to their packaging.It has also sought clarity on how manufacturers should handle existing packaging stock before the new requirement takes effect.The notification provides a six-month transition period and was issued after the government considered objections and suggestions received on the draft rules and consulted the Drugs Technical Advisory Board.AiMeD has urged the government to reconsider the requirement, saying patient safety and traceability should be ensured without affecting the competitiveness of Indian manufacturers and their exports.Get the latest India News and Live updates.

Manufacturers have been ordered to carry a prominent warning on the drug label, package insert and promotional material stating: “Fixed Dose Combination shall not be used in children below four years of age.”Dr Rommel Tickoo, senior director, internal medicine, Max hospital, said, “In children below four years, combination cold medicines containing chlorpheniramine and phenylephrine can cause excessive drowsiness or agitation, rapid heartbeat and, in some cases, serious adverse effects. Since these medicines offer limited benefit for a common cold, parents should prefer safer measures such as saline nasal drops, adequate fluids and honey for children above one year.”The move is the latest step in a regulatory review that dates back to 2023, when concerns were raised over the use of the combination in young children. The issue was re-examined in 2024 with paediatricians, with DTAB recommending that the warning apply to all formulations.

Gujarati store owner shot dead in US; 19-year-old daughter standing next to him escapes unharmed ‘Will target their interests’: Iran warns neighbours against supporting US economic pressure tactics 8.7 crore Indian youth caught in a career limbo More than 8 crore Indian youth are caught in a difficult spot — with no job, no education and no training.According to a Niti Aayog report, an estimated 8.7 crore Indians aged 15 to 29 fall into this category. The figure, based on the 78th round of the National Sample Survey conducted in 2021, was highlighted in Niti Aayog’s report Reimagining Skilling for Viksit Bharat@2047.It called for subsidised training programmes to help young people move towards self-employment and develop skills that match local demand and emerging sectors.The report divided India’s workforce and learners into five broad groups: those in schooling, tertiary education, formal and informal work, not in education, employment and training (NEET) youth, and women. It said that young people outside education, employment and training face a particular financial hurdle as they have no income while already having spent on their earlier education.”NEET youth are constrained by the absence of income and the sunk cost of prior education. Students often cannot layer paid skilling onto existing financial commitments,” it said.Cost remains a barrierFor students from low-income households, adding a paid skilling course to the cost of college and, in many cases, private tuition can be difficult to afford, the report said. This can leave young people with limited room to invest in additional training alongside a conventional degree.The report said some graduates subsequently take up formal employment simply to secure an income and support their families, even when the available job is low-paying. Others find it difficult to make the transition from education to employment and eventually become NEET.”As a result, many students choose to get themselves a formal job/income source after graduation to support their families and often end up taking whatever brings in some stable income even if that is low-paying; others, however, struggle to transition into work and become NEET,” the Aayog said.Career mismatchThe gap between having a degree and finding the right job remains stark, with only 8.25 per cent of graduates employed in roles that match their qualifications. The report said limited exposure to practical learning and industry-aligned training continues to affect employability, even among formally educated youth.Join conversationView All Comments →Share your thoughts in the commentsInsightfulAgreeDisagreeSkepticalConcerningPromisingWorth ReadingBig DevelopmentPost CommentBe respectful · TOI community guidelinesThe Aayog said that NEET youth and women need affordable or subsidised training options, backed by dedicated financial support where financial constraints are most binding. It also emphasised the importance of allowing people to learn while earning.”For the workforce and NEET youth, the need shifts towards mid-career reskilling, self-employment pathways, and learning options aligned to local demand and emerging sectors,” the Aayog said in the report.The report said India’s Viksit Bharat 2047 ambition rests on enabling citizens to keep learning, earning and progressing, making skilling a key part of that effort.Since 2014-15, more than 7.67 crore people have been trained, the Aayog added.Get the latest India News and Live updates.
