Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Jan Aushadhi Kendra (PMBJK)

The Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Jan Aushadhi Pariyojana (PMBJP) was introduced on April 23, 2008, by the Pharma Advisory Forum. The primary goal of the Jan Aushadhi campaign is to make quality generic medications available to the general public at affordable prices through its designated retail medical stores known as Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Jan Aushadhi Kendra located all over India. 

The Bureau of Pharma PSUs of India (BPPI) is the implementation agency for Jan Aushadhi Medical Stores, which is responsible for the manufacture, marketing, and quality control of generic pharmaceuticals. 

The medicines are obtained from WHO Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), Current Good Manufacturing Practice, and CPSU manufacturers. The mentioned system ensures that the medicines meet the quality standards set by the BPPI.

As of November 2023, 10,000 Janaushadhi Kendras are functional across the country, offering more than 1965 drugs and about 290 surgical items.
