What you observed is just an example of injustice to pharmacist profession in india. There is no cadre in most places, recruitment is done at lower gradepay when compared to other similar professions, workload is more. Pharmacy acts are not followed, doctors are incharge of pharmacy stores, nurses are going to provide primary treatment without any knowledge of medicines and pharmacists are excluded,non pharmacy professions audit the pharmacy.
Why?
Because pharmacists are intentionally kept treated like this by policymakers, many of whom are policymakers.
Secondly pharmacy councils and organizations moslty serve vested interest.
This is allowed to happen because of weak lobby and negligent attittude of common pharmacits. many are pessimists and lazy. Nurses gets roles which they are not even qualified for because of lobby, same for medical officers becoming store incharge.
Solution:
Unity and getting noticed by propaganda and other peaceful means. The only way forward is fight for justice. joining good organizations and contributing.
In NHM case, Legal way cannot force government to change recruitment rules. Only justified lobbying for rights can.
Issue can be taken with PCI and Ministry supervising the recruitment.
