The Committee observed that Dr. S.R. Gupta was co-opted on the
Registration Committee on the advice of the Ministry of Health & Family
Welfare since October 2000 to provide input relating to pesticide residues.
Since his co-option, 37 meetings of the Committee have been held. Out of
these, he has attended only 6 meetings and the last meeting which he
attended was 221st. The Committee takes consensus decisions after
taking the views of all the members present. Being co-opted member of
the Committee, it is desirable that he attends the meetings regularly and
provide his input during the deliberations of the Committee. Problems if
2
any, can be sorted out during the meetings itself instead sending comments
after decisions have been taken by the Committee
In view of the foregoing, the Committee decided not to take any
cognizance of the letter received from Dr. Gupta and decided that a
suitable communication may be sent to the Secretary, Ministry of Health
& Family Welfare with the request to advise the co-opted member - a
representative of the Ministry for attending the meetings of the RC on
regular basis so to enable the Committee to take balance decisions
