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.

As India completes 135 crore+ vaccination doses, one looks back at the journey we, as a nation, undertook. In January, we were but a dejected lot; waiting for a vaccine to miraculously save us all. Today, India has at least 4 vaccines boosting our immunity against the Coronavirus. Much water has flown in the Ganges ever since. India rose with vaccines, stumbled during the second wave and rose again by inoculating maximum of its population.

Even today, Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s ideas and beliefs are at the roots of the governance of our central and state governments.

Arjun Ram Meghwal writes: The people of India will remain forever indebted to the ‘great unifier’ for his leadership during the freedom struggle and his vision, wisdom, and statesmanship in the post-Independence era.

After 400 years, Kashi Vishwanath Dham has been revived, thanks to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s resolve, writes Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s illustrious track record in governance started two decades ago, from Gandhinagar during which he selflessly served first the people of Gujarat and since 2014 our nation. He was born in Vadnagar not far from Gandhinagar, a dilapidated town without basic amenities like electricity. Facing such adversity, he emerged as a sensitive human being who wanted to bring about change so that no child would have to study under a street lamp or sell tea, like he did, just to make two ends meet. PM Modi’s journey of ‘Sewa and Samarpan’ started at the age of 17, when he left home to travel across the length and breadth of the country. His training as a RSS pracharak gave him a unique understanding of ‘Bharat’ and the people of India. PM Modi has emerged as the leader, who can work relentlessly every single day without taking a break. Today, he completes 20 years of public service as the head of an elected Government, first as Chief Minister of Gujarat and now as Prime Minister of India.
