The customer complaint is considered an expression of dissatisfaction against the quality of the product or information associated with them. An effective mechanism for product complaint handling is one of the essential business requirements of the pharmaceutical industry. The customer complaints have the potential to jeopardize the firm's reputation and trigger regulatory action. This study shows that the prevailing complaint handling practices in the pharmaceutical sector follow a random and independent approach without synchronizing the strategy with the gross interest of stakeholders. The study explores the dearth of study for overall mitigation of adverse impacts on business due to patient's risk, impending legal and regulatory actions. The existing system to handle pharmaceutical complaints is handled with a technical perspective, without effective involvement of the distribution personnel. This study has produced a unique pathway to redress pharmaceutical product complaints effectively.

This paper addresses the rural housing problem of Bihar. The causes of housing shortage have been identified in the context of rapid population growth, low per capita income, high poverty, unemployment, limited state resources, etc. A suitable strategy and institutional mechanism to implement the objectives of National Housing and Habitat Policy, 1998, may help ameliorate rural housing conditions in the state. This calls for creation of an institution dedicated to rural housing which would facilitate credit, subsidy, technology, formation of self-help groups and support infrastructure required for rural housing.
