As part of this progressive initiative, the Ministry has meticulously curated a list of fifty railway stations that will serve as the launching grounds for the pilot project. This strategic selection aims to lay the groundwork for greater accessibility to Janaushadhi products for both passengers and visitors frequenting these bustling stations.

These PMBJK outlets will be strategically positioned at easily accessible locations, ensuring the convenience of both incoming and outgoing passengers. The locations for PMBJKs will be identified by Railway Divisions, and the stalls will be allocated through an E-auctioning process facilitated by the Indian Railways E-Procurement System (IREPS). The design of these stalls is entrusted to the esteemed National Institute of Design (NID) Ahmedabad.
