Several  MoUs  have  been  signed  with  various  NGOs/Institutes such  as  Pharmacy  Council  of  India  (PCI),  Corporation  for  National  Research Initiatives (CNRI), Christian Medical Association of India (CMAI), Indian Medical Association  (IMA),  National  Yuva  Cooperative  Society  Ltd.  (NYCS),  etc.  for opening  PMBJKs  under  'Pradhan  Mantri  Bhartiya  Jan  Aushadhi  Pariyojana' (PMBJP).
- (c) As the PMBJP presently does not provide for any special provision for opening PMBJK  in  specific  areas,  information  regarding  PMBJKs  in  scheduled  tribe dominated  backward  areas  of  the  country  is  not  available.  An  application  for opening  of  PMBJK  in  'Ramtek',  Nagpur,  Maharashtra  has  been  received  from The  Bright  Rural  Development  Society,  Nagpur,  Maharashtra  which  has  been approved.
