The sixth day of 7th Jan Aushadhi Diwas 2025 was celebrated with the nationwide implementation of the “Jan Aushadhi Mitra” campaign. This initiative aims to strengthen community engagement and spread awareness about the benefits of Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya JanAushadhi Pariyojana across the country.
The “Jan Aushadhi Mitra” programme will focus on educating citizens about the significant price difference between Jan Aushadhi medicines and branded alternatives, highlighting the substantial savings achieved through the Pariyojana. Volunteers associated as “Jan Aushadhi Mitras,” will play a crucial role in disseminating information and promoting the core message: “जन औषधि – दाम कम – दवाई उत्तम”
This program is designed to reach those in distress, including the elderly and infirm, who may find it challenging to access Jan Aushadhi Kendras. By registering as a volunteer for “Aao Jan Aushadhi Mitra Banein,” individuals can contribute to providing essential generic medicines and support to vulnerable populations during times of crisis. More than 3000 Jan Aushadhi Mitras registered on first day. The Campaign will run till 9th March 2025.
At the initiative of the Prime Minister, the 7th of March is celebrated every year as “Jan Aushadhi Diwas” with a view to enhance awareness about the scheme and promote generic medicines. As in earlier years, week-long events have been planned at various locations across the country from the 1st to the 7th of March 2025.
