Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Janaushadhi Pariyojana– GENESIS 
The branded (Generic) medicines are sold at significantly higher prices than their un-branded 
generic equivalents, though are identical in the therapeutic value. Given the widespread poverty 
across the country, making available reasonably priced quality generic medicines in the market 
would benefit everyone.  With this objective, the Pharma Advisory Forum in its meeting held on 
23rd April, 2008, decided to launch the Jan Aushadhi Campaign - starting with the sale of generic 
medicines through dedicated sales outlets called Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Janaushadhi 
Kendra (PMBJK) in various districts of the country. Initially it was proposed that at least one 
PMBJK will be opened in each of the 630 districts of the country to be extended to sub-
divisional levels as well as major towns and village centers.  It was to be run on the principle of 
“No Profit, No loss”. The Jan Aushadhi Scheme was accordingly formulated and approved in 
the Standing Finance Committee Meeting of 01.02.2010 in consultation with the Planning 
Commission. 
 
II. 
BPPI- Bureau of Pharma PSUs of India 
In order to enable a focused and institutional approach to implement the Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya 
Janaushadhi Kendra Campaign and to further the working and resources of CPSUs, BPPI was 
established in December, 2008 under the Department of Pharmaceuticals, Government of India, 
with the support of all the CPSUs. The Bureau has been registered as an independent society 
under the Societies Registration Act, 1860 as a separate independent legal entity in April, 2010. 
BPPI follows the provisions of GFR, 2005 as amended from time to time, the CVC guidelines, 
and instructions from the Department of Pharmaceuticals. The defined roles of BPPI are as 
follows: 
 Make quality generic medicines available at affordable prices for all 
 Coordinating marketing of the generic drugs through the Jan Aushadhi Stores (PMBJK) 
 Coordinating supply of medicines from Central Pharma PSUs and Private Sector. 
 Monitoring proper running of PMBJK 
It was planned that the Central Government would suitably assist the Bureau both financially and 
technically till the Bureau could sustain itself through its own operations.
