Karnataka is planning to set up 500 more Jan Aushadi Kendras in the State in the next six months.
Disclosing this to reporters before attending a video conference programme in Mysuru involving Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s interaction with beneficiaries of Pradhan Mantri Bharatiya Janaushadi Pariyojana (PMBJP) Monday, Health Minister K. Sudhakar said 952 out of the total 9,000 Jan Aushadi stores in the country were located in Karnataka.
The Health Department has set a target of opening 500 more stores across the country in the next six months. Once the target is achieved, Karnataka, which is presently in the third position in number of Jan Aushadi stores, will reach the top slot, he said.
