Prime Minister Modi inaugurates generic medicine outlet at Dindigul railway station, benefiting passengers and local residents with affordable healthcare.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday inaugurated through video conference Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Janaushadhi Kendra (outlet for generic medicines) at Dindigul railway station.
He also dedicated goods sheds in Theni and Gangaikondan and 45 One Station One Product (OSOP) stalls (covering 39 Stations) over Madurai Division.
Dindigul Deputy Mayor S. Rajappa and Additional Divisional Railway Manager C. Selvam lit the lamp to mark the inauguration.
The medical shop located in the circulating area will benefit both railway passengers and people living adjacent to it.
“Generic medicines are almost 60% less than the cost of branded medicines,” P. Vijayalakshmi, owner of the outlet, said.
Even those passengers who forget to bring their regular medicines can buy them before boarding trains, she said.

Although students from Tamil Nadu remain the leading recipients of educational loans across India, there has been a significant decline in the number of active loans they hold. The number of active education loan accounts decreased from 27.4 lakh accounts to about 20.1 lakh in the period. The fall can be mostly attributed to the fall in Tamil Nadu’s numbers.
