Prime Minister Narendra Modi asked Babita Rao, a housewife from Mysuru, to propagate the benefits of purchasing generic medicine at affordable costs from Jan Aushad Kendras through social media.
Ms. Rao was among the seven beneficiaries of Pradhan Mantri Bharatiya Janaushadi Pariyojana (PMBJP) chosen from across India to interact with the Prime Minister on the occasion of Janaushadi Diwas through video-conference on March 7.
When her turn to speak came, Ms. Rao said she had been purchasing medicine from the Jan Aushadhi Kendra in Udayagiri in Mysuru over the last four years and is ‘very satisfied’ with the quality and the cost of the medicine. She pointed out that her husband runs his own business and is earning around ₹15,000 per month.
