Frequently Asked Questions
The scheme "Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Janaushadhi Pariyojana (PMBJP)" was launched by the Department of Pharmaceuticals, Ministry of Chemicals & Fertilizers, in November 2008. The branded (Generic) medicines are sold at significantly higher prices than their un-branded generic equivalents, though are identical in therapeutic value. Given the widespread poverty across the country, making available reasonably priced quality generic medicines in the market would benefit everyone.
Objectives:
To make quality generic medicines available at affordable prices to all, Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Janaushadhi Pariyojana (PMBJP) was launched by the Department of Pharmaceuticals, Ministry of Chemicals & Fertilizers, Government of India in November 2008. Under the scheme, dedicated outlets known as Janaushadhi Kendras are opened to provide generic medicines at affordable prices. As of 30.11.2023, 10,000 Janaushadhi Kendras are functional nationwide. The product basket of PMBJP comprises 1965 drugs and 293 surgical items. The scheme is implemented by a society registered under the Societies Registration Act, viz., Pharma & Medical Bureau of India (PMBI), [erstwhile Bureau of Pharma PSUs of India (BPPI)].
  1. Ensure access to quality medicines for all sections of the population, especially the poor and the deprived ones.
  2. Create awareness about generic medicines through education and publicity to counter the perception that quality is synonymous with high prices only.
  3. Generate employment by engaging individual entrepreneurs in the opening of the PMBJP Kendra.
