  • The Ministry of Railways is undertaking a noteworthy effort to create Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Janaushadhi Kendras (PMBJKs) at railway stations across the nation.
  • The core goal of this initiative is to guarantee the accessibility of high-quality medicines to the general populace, while also ensuring affordability.
  • This well-thought-out choice is designed to establish a strong basis for enhanced availability of Janaushadhi products, catering to both travelers and individuals visiting these busy stations.
  • The locations for PMBJKs will be identified by Railway Divisions, and the stalls will be allocated through an E-auctioning process facilitated by the Indian Railways E-Procurement System (IREPS).
  • The design of these stalls is entrusted to the esteemed National Institute of Design (NID) Ahmedabad.
