India marked Jan Aushadhi Day with enthusiasm, focusing on generic drug awareness to make healthcare affordable for millions. Top politicians like Nitin Gadkari, Yogi Adityanath, and others showered praise on the Pradhan Mantri Bharatiya Janaushadhi Pariyojana, calling it a blessing for the economically weaker sections.
In a heartfelt X post, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari detailed the scheme’s benefits. Driven by PM Narendra Modi’s vision, it delivers medicines to the poor at 50-90% below market rates. Beyond savings, the initiative spurs job creation across the country, empowering local economies and improving public health outcomes.
UP CM Yogi Adityanath lauded the project’s transformative power. ‘PM Modi’s far-sighted leadership has made high-quality generic drugs readily available at Janaushadhi centers,’ he posted. Positioning it as the bedrock of a robust India, he thanked the PM for turning it into a reliable ally for the needy during tough times.
Pankaj Chaudhary, BJP’s UP chief and a Union Minister, spotlighted the network’s scale. With more than 18,660 outlets nationwide, guided by PM Modi, these hubs offer 2,110 medicines, 315 surgical items, and consumables at pocket-friendly prices. ‘Healthcare is now accessible and affordable for all,’ he asserted on X, dubbing it a household boon.
Mohan Yadav, Madhya Pradesh CM, extended warm wishes, terming the centers a divine gift. ‘Low-price drugs here make treatment feasible for the poor, fostering healthier lives,’ he shared. This collective endorsement on Jan Aushadhi Day underscores the scheme’s pivotal role in India’s healthcare revolution, promising sustained growth and inclusivity.
