Neemuch, April 6 The Jan Aushadhi Kendras, opened under the Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Jan Aushadhi Pariyojana (PM-BJP), are bringing big relief to the local residents.
Jan Aushadhi Kendras have enabled the residents to buy their medicines, ranging from regular to life-saving drugs, at much cheaper rates than earlier. The locals are benefiting hugely because of this affordable treatment model, as propagated by the Jan Aushadhi Kendras.

People have expressed their gratitude to PM Modi and the Central government for opening the Jan Aushadhi Kendras in the city.
Gopal Sharma, a Neemuch resident, spoke to IANS and shared his experience about the curtailed medical expenses.
“I have been coming to the Jan Aushadhi Kendra for a long time. Good medicines are available here, they are of good quality and also effective. There is a difference of more than half the price of the medicines in the market,” he said.
Pawan Nagda of Kanakheda village echoed similar views.
“Here, medicines are available at the lowest rate in the entire market. We get discounts ranging from 20 percent to 90 percent,” he said.

The poor people have especially benefited from this. Many people are taking advantage of this scheme of Prime Minister Narendra Modi,” he said.
