About Us
The Jan Aushadhi Store project is an initiative by the Government of India launched in 2008 under the Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Janaushadhi Pariyojana (PMBJP). Its main aim is to provide quality generic medicines at affordable prices to the masses. These stores sell medicines that are equivalent in quality and efficacy to branded drugs but at much lower costs. The project also seeks to promote the use of generic medicines and reduce out-of-pocket healthcare expenditure. Operated by the Bureau of Pharma PSUs of India (BPPI), Jan Aushadhi Stores are opened across the country in hospitals, clinics, and other public places.
In Govt. Medical College, Patiala /Rajindra Hospital Patiala, Jan Aushadhi Store was opened under aegis of Rogi Kalyan Society(RKS) in 2015 with aim to provide all essential medicines to patients at affordable prices.
