Use of Pesticides right from seeding till it reaches consumers on various stages is not being properly taught to farmers/industrialists (may be not being practised even after proper guidance is given ) and not checked at all stages(may be checking casually at random during factory stage/packing stage ). Citizens whether farmer,industialist or bureaucracy is not considering that it is used by human beings. more  
The consumer is not informed what in the view of the government constitutes a standard quality to enable him to look and verify that the products fulfills such requirement more  
consumers don't reject poor/bad quality products,as demand is more than the supply, so whatever is available Sells. If supply is adequate, quality will improve as there will be choice. Gujrat Milk revilution is one example. more  
Some product need specific degree cooling those are freeze or warmed on and off before it reach to kitchen and food quality becomes bad to consume but still shop sells them at MRP Cool drinks almost all manufacturing are served cooled by shopkeeper at 2-5 rupees extra except malls. more  
Inorbit Mall vashi charges Rs.43/- for a bottle of Mineral water. There is no MRP printed on Kinlesy bottle sold there. In the same mall the cooking oil is sold less than MRP, so there is no logic big mall big charges.
