ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Central Drugs Standard Control Organization

Okay, imagine there's a big toy box with lots of toys inside. But, some of the toys might not be safe for you to play with. That's why there are grown-ups who check all the toys to make sure they are safe for you to play with.

In India, there are lots of medicines that people take when they are sick or hurt. But, some of those medicines might not be safe for people to take. That's where the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) comes in.

The CDSCO is a grown-up organization that checks all the medicines to make sure they are safe for people to take. They do lots of tests and checks to make sure each medicine is made the right way and has the right ingredients. They also make sure that the medicine won't make people sicker or hurt them in any way.

The CDSCO is important because it helps keep people safe and healthy when they take medicine. Just like how grown-ups make sure your toys are safe for you to play with, the CDSCO makes sure the medicines in India are safe for people to take.
