Hazaribagh’s Rakhi Sinha is set to create history by attending the Republic Day celebrations in Delhi, thanks to her exemplary role in the Pradhan Mantri Jan Aushadhi Pariyojana. The Jharkhand resident from Charhi will watch the grand parade at Kartavya Path, a privilege earned through her tireless efforts in making quality medicines accessible to the underprivileged.
Speaking to media, Rakhi shared her elation: ‘Being chosen for this is a dream come true. It validates the hard work we’ve put into helping the poor get affordable healthcare.’ Her center dispenses generic versions of branded drugs, slashing costs and ensuring treatment for those who need it most.
The scheme, a flagship program under PM Modi, has revolutionized pharmaceutical access across India. Rakhi highlighted real-world impacts: ‘We’ve seen patients who couldn’t buy medicines before now getting full courses, avoiding complications and even deaths.’
Local peers are equally thrilled. ‘This is a proud day for Hazaribagh,’ said another Kendra operator. ‘Rakhi’s success will encourage us all to expand outreach and serve more communities.’
With thousands of Jan Aushadhi stores operational, the initiative continues to grow, empowering entrepreneurs like Rakhi while tackling India’s healthcare affordability crisis. Her Republic Day invitation marks a personal milestone and a testament to public service excellence, promising to inspire many more in the days ahead.
