Explanation

The Bureau of Pharma PSUs of India (BPPI), now renamed as the Pharmaceuticals & Medical Devices Bureau of India (PMBI), is the primary implementing agency for the Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Janaushadhi Pariyojana (PMBJP) [3]. Established in December 2008 under the Department of Pharmaceuticals, Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers, its role is to coordinate the procurement, supply, and marketing of generic medicines through Janaushadhi Kendras. Regarding its legal status, the Bureau was registered as an independent society under the Societies Registration Act, 1860, in April 2010, making it a separate legal entity [4]. It operates with the support of all Central Pharma Public Sector Undertakings (CPSUs) and follows the General Financial Rules (GFR) and CVC guidelines. Therefore, both statements regarding its role as an implementing agency and its registration as an independent society are correct.
