NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday lauded Indian scientists developing made-in-India vaccine against COVID and boosting different measures to fight the pandemic within a year of its outbreak.
Addressing a meeting of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) Society through video conferencing, he cited India’s experience in the previous century to say that it used to wait for years to put its hands on innovations achieved abroad, however its scientists are now working shoulder to shoulder with their counterparts outside.
They are working at the similar quick pace, he mentioned. Noting that the world is grappling with the biggest challenge in a century, the prime minister praised the scientific community, saying it is perhaps unprecedented that vaccines have been prepared within a year.
On the occasion, Modi reiterated his call for an “Aatmanirbhar Bharat” (Self-reliant) and strong India, saying the COVID-19 crisis could have slowed its pace however our resolve remains the same.
India desires to be self-reliant in numerous sectors, starting from agriculture to astronomy, disaster management to defence technology, vaccine to virtual reality, and biotechnology to battery technology, he asserted.
He mentioned that India is now showing the way to the world in sustainable development and clean energy, and is playing an vital role in progress in different countries with its role in software and satellite development.
