Govt sets target to increase Jan Aushadhi Kendras to 25000 by March 2027

Awareness about availability of quality affordable medicines under the scheme and confidence in Janaushadhi products has grown steadily, as reflected in rising sale volumes as well as a growing basket of Janaushadhi products. This has increased the viability of JAKs and enhanced the attractiveness of opening JAKs to entrepreneurs. As a result, the pace of opening of JAKs has gained momentum in recent years, as reflected in 37% increase in the number of JAKs and 38% increase in the maximum retail price value of sales under the scheme during the last financial year.

JAKs are opened by inviting applications from individual entrepreneurs, non-governmental organisations, societies, trusts, firms, private companies, etc., for which applications have been invited online across the country, including the State of Andhra Pradesh, through the scheme’s website.
