Important Days

The Jan Aushadhi Diwas (Generic Medicine Day) is annually observed across India on 7th March to create awareness about the importance of Generic Medicines and to highlight the benefits of Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Janaushadhi Pariyojana (PMBJP). On this day, medical experts, such as doctors, nurses and pharmacists, meet to discuss the Jan Aushadhi Pariyojana. The government has set a target to increase the number of Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Janaushadhi Kendras (PMBJKs) to 10,500 by March 2025. Each year, the first week of March witnesses the observance of 'Jan Aushadhi Saptah' or Generic Medicine Week. The inception of Jan Aushadi Diwas traced back to March 7, 2019. 7th March 2024 marked the observance of 6th Jan Aushadhi Diwas.
