It also lays down the standards for usage of drugs and looks after the quality control of drugs imported into the country. The arrangement of manufacturing, wholesale, and distribution of drugs is the priority of state Authorities. At the same time, Central Authorities are only responsible for giving permits to new drugs and clinical tests in the country.
