Jan Aushadhi Awareness

Later, joining a Jan Aushadhi awareness program in Garapur, Panda said, "Jan Aushadhi is generic medicine. It has the same formula and same composition. However, it is sold at cheaper prices by the government as it doesn't have the added price of branding and marketing. It is available at 50-80 per cent less price. I want to assure you all that the efficiency of these medicines is equal in comparison to the branded medicines."

"Some people run false propaganda against it. However, people should not be swayed by it. Everybody, especially the poor and the middle class people, should take advantage of it. Effort is being made to make it available easily through the supply chain," he added.
