Dear Mr Sukumar,
It is important that you write your affiliation.It is also necessary that you  explain the reason as to why you want to have this information.In any case let me share with you that in India each state has its own list of " Essential Medicines ".The number varies from 250 -400.DDDs can not be same in all the states.It is difficult to suggest you the contacts unless you make the objectives clear.

Request for information on the average drug usage of Indian population (1)
***************************************************************************

Dear Friends,

I am ooking for some information on the essential drugs. From one of
the websites of Govt of india  (and also from WHO), I have extracted
information of a list of 356 essential drugs in India.
1) With these essential drugs, I am eager to know which all illnesses can
(/or can not be) treated, and
2) Also would like to know about the average of the actual uasage of these
essential drugs among the Indian population , for eg. .......mg/1000 population.
Please give me some guidance on how to collect information on the above
mentioned aspects. I would like to add I don't have previous
experience/expertise in this field.  Meanwhile, I have been
exploring some information through internet, but have not got much success.

Thank you

best
