evidence: The Narendra Modi government has been at the forefront of several structural changes. From the hard infrastructure of roads, ports, airports and mines, etc to the soft aspects of education, cleanliness and health care. Of all these soft infrastructure changes, the Prime Minister has been extremely vocal about the role good health for the citizens. The vision statement of Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Janaushadhi Pariyojana (PMBJP), providing affordable quality medicine for all, is indeed a very lofty ideal to strive for. [...] At the current roll out rate, by 2019 one can expect the Modi government to roll out around 10,000 Jan Aushadhi kendras across India. Just as a comparison, there are over 10.5 lakh chemists who are already in operation today. Meaning, less than even 1 per cent of regular chemist number would be reached by Jan Aushadhi kendras. This by no stretch of imagination can be assumed to be able to realise the vision of Prime Minister Modi. In other words, moving from Q 1 to Q 4 via Q 2 (opening large number of physical kendras and over time cover the whole country) looks impractical, to say the least.
