The health services provided under this scheme are affordable and of good quality. While treatment in general hospitals is expensive, under the Ayushman scheme, treatment is being provided at a low cost and in a better way. The price of generic medicines at Jan Aushadhi Kendra is also very low. The branded medicines which are usually available for Rs 1,500, their generic medicines are available for Rs 200-300."

The medicine which I used to buy earlier for Rs 100, is now available for Rs 40 to 50. That is why I always buy medicines from Pradhan Mantri Janaushadhi Kendra. These medicines should reach every person. The Central Government is doing a very good job."

Compared to other places, we get medicines at less than half the price at Pradhan Mantri Jan Aushadhi Kendras. I have been buying medicines from here for the last two-three years. I am getting a lot of benefit from this scheme. I am saving a lot.”

We came to know through TV that these medicines are being made available at Janaushadhi Kendra through by the Central Government at a very low price. Its quality is also very good. For this, we thank PM Modi and the Union Government."

Sanjay Uddhavrao Karad, who runs the Pradhan Mantri Jan Aushadhi Kendra, said, "I did B Pharma in 2011. Till 2014, I worked in many companies. Then one day I saw the advertisement of Janaushadhi Kendra and I thought of opening a medical store. Many people are benefiting from this. They are getting generic medicines. PM Modi has done a lot of work for this."
