As India crosses over 143 crore vaccine doses, the sheer speed, scale and safety with which the drive has been conducted, has made the entire world take notice. Despite starting a month after the USA began its drive, India has managed to outpace the biggest economy of the world by administering more than twice the number of doses it has done so far. In the last week, an average of 948,921 doses per day was administered in the USA whereas India administered an average of about 60 lakh doses per day. In the USA, 83.9% of the eligible population has taken one dose.

The National COVID-19 vaccination drive of India is world’s largest vaccination drive and has been unprecedented in both scale and reach. As India crosses 1,35,99,96,267 vaccine doses and closes in on a historic milestone of administering 200 cr Covid vaccination doses in record time, the sheer speed, scale and safety with which the drive has been conducted, has made the entire world take notice. We have now vaccinated more than 50% of the adult population with both doses of vaccine, and approximately 85% have received one or two doses.

With the start of the vaccination program, millions of eligible citizens came forward and registered themselves to be a part of the World’s Largest Vaccine Drive & strengthen India’s fight against COVID-19.

Our ancient heritage gives great importance to the environment. A common theme in our ancient texts and literature is to caution against environmental degradation. In the Atharva Veda, Mother Earth is addressed directly – “May whatever we dig from you, grow back again quickly, and may we not injure you by our labour”.
