Kerala is launching the 'nPROUD' initiative, India’s first government-led program for the safe collection and disposal of expired medicines. The initiative aims to address the environmental and health risks caused by improper disposal of medicines, such as soil and water contamination. Starting in Kozhikode and Ulliyeri, it will expand statewide. This initiative is a significant step toward environmental sustainability and public health, with the potential to inspire nationwide policies on the safe disposal of pharmaceutical waste.
