Kerala has become the first state to start a program for collecting and safely disposing of expired medicines. The new initiative aims to reduce waste and protect both public health and the environment. Government agencies are working together with pharmacies and hospitals to make sure that expired drugs do not end up causing harm.
Under this program, collection points have been set up across the state where citizens can drop off unused or outdated medicines. The drugs are then handled by experts who dispose of them in an environmentally friendly way. This careful process helps prevent the misuse of drugs and minimizes the risk of pollution in the community.
Experts say that the initiative is a positive step toward better waste management in the health sector. They believe that safe disposal of expired drugs can reduce health hazards and encourage more responsible use of medicines. Many hope that other states will follow Kerala’s example and launch similar programs in the future.

A new English-language documentary, “Ayurveda – The Double Helix of Life,” is set to premiere on June 11 in New Delhi, with a special screening at the Film Division Theatre. The film is directed by national award–winner Vinod Mankara and produced by Dr. A V Anoop under the A V A Productions banner, in collaboration with the Ayurvedic Medicine Manufacturers Organisation of India.
Clocking in at around 90 minutes, the docu‑film explores how Ayurveda can complement modern medicine, especially in treating conditions like infertility, renal stones, diabetic neuropathy, and even Parkinson’s disease in Germany. It moves from traditional medicine-making practices to recent clinical breakthroughs such as rejuvenating skin treatments and slow-release pharmaceutical pads. Mankara, who also scripted the film, emphasises that the goal is to present Ayurveda as a scientifically valid system, not merely ancient tradition.
Featuring commentary from 52 experts—including doctors, scientists, and officials from the World Health Organization—the documentary aims to counter misinformation and highlight ongoing research in integrative medicine. Officials expected at the premiere include Minister of State for Ayush and Health Prataprao Jadhav and Ayush Secretary Rajesh Kotecha. The film will be shown in multiple countries, aiming to raise global awareness of Ayurveda’s scientific potential.
