In the obituary of Dr Wishwas Rane (Phadke A. Dr Wishvas Rane (1930-2008). Indian J Med Ethics 2009 Jan-Mar; 6(1): 54-5), it is stated that ‘Ratnagiri Drugs was the harbinger of the successful LOCOST experiment launched later by a collective.’ The author corrected this statement as LOCOST had already been formed when Ratnagiri Drugs was being launched.
