Jan Aushadhi Diwas is observed annually from March 1 to March 7 to highlight the impact of the Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Janaushadhi Pariyojana (PMBJP), a scheme launched in 2008 to ensure the availability of low-cost generic medicines.
The Janaushadhi Kendras under this scheme provide cost-effective alternatives to expensive branded drugs while maintaining high-quality standards. Additionally, these centers offer various medical products to enhance their viability and accessibility.
