Service to Nation ::
At present pharmacists are working in a restricted sense They are neither trained nor organised nor financially aided for motivation advice and information of family planning to their customers one should not be unenthusiastic about the task because of these handicaps The government is likely to organise assist and finance this in near future one must therefore go ahead to save our country from the future peril by motivating family planning via mass media movement it is a silent service to the nation
First of all all pharmcists should themselves pledge to practice family planning They can spread the message much quickly and easily since they are nearer and easily approachable by the people than doctors and officers
