PM Jan Aushadhi Kendra Registration
(PMBJP Scheme)
Short Description
Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Janaushadhi Pariyojana
    The branded (Generic) medicines are sold at significantly higher prices than their un-branded generic equivalents, though are identical in the therapeutic value. Given the widespread poverty across the country, making available reasonably priced quality generic medicines in the market would benefit everyone. With this objective, the Pharma Advisory Forum in its meeting held on 23rd April, 2008, decided to launch the Jan Aushadhi Campaign - starting with the sale of generic medicines through dedicated sales outlets called Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Janaushadhi Kendra (PMBJK) in various districts of the country. Initially it was proposed that at least one PMBJK will be opened in each of the 630 districts of the country to be extended to subdivisional levels as well as major towns and village centers. It was to be run on the principle of “No Profit, No loss”. The Jan Aushadhi Scheme was accordingly formulated and approved in the Standing Finance Committee Meeting of 01.02.2010 in consultation with the Planning Commission.
