Pradeep Kumar, who operates a Jan Aushadhi Kendra in Varanasi, shared with IANS, “In Varanasi, close to Bhelupur Police Station, there is a Jan Aushadhi Kendra. This center stocks nearly every type of medication. I have been managing this store for 7-8 years. Numerous individuals come here to purchase their medications, and they are experiencing financial relief. Medicines that previously cost around 10 to 12 thousand rupees in the market are now available for just 1,000 to 1,200 rupees.”
Sunil Upadhyay, a frequent customer at the Jan Aushadhi Kendra, remarked, “I consistently purchase my medications from the Prime Minister’s Jan Aushadhi Kendra. Previously, the allopathic medicines I needed were prohibitively expensive. Here, I find the same medications at an astonishing 80 to 90 percent discount.”
Another patron, Gopal Maurya, commended the Jan Aushadhi Kendra, stating, “Medicines that used to retail for 100 rupees outside are available here for only 20 to 30 rupees. This center is extremely beneficial for the community.”
Abhishek Pandey, who also procured medications from the center, expressed, “The costly medications found in the market are available here at budget-friendly prices. This initiative is a tremendous support for the public. The scheme introduced by PM Modi is advantageous for all strata of society, especially for those with lower incomes.”
The Prime Minister’s Jan Aushadhi Yojana, launched by the Pharmaceuticals Department, strives to deliver affordable, high-quality medications to the populace. Jan Aushadhi stores have been established to provide generic medicines at lower costs while maintaining the same quality and efficacy as expensive branded alternatives.
