Toward Ecosophy

Modi government has opened a chain of more than 8000 stores that sell non-branded, generic versions of medicines for almost all common illnesses. No matter where you live, you can find a pharmacy within an hour's travel. The prices are 50-90% cheaper than the branded ones (which are already cheap when compared to the US). A government agency runs a centralized purchase and logistics operation Walmart/McDonalds-style. Everyone in the supply chain from the drug maker to the store owner gets a modest profit margin to help them keep the lights on. This is a lesser-known secret of why Modi keeps winning election after election.
