“The proper dialogue between Centre and States has played a major role in combating COVID-19. In the fight against the COVID-19, we have worked in an exemplary manner to showcase federalism. I’m satisfied that we worked together by standing united in the COVID crisis, quick decisions were taken with full sensitivity,” the Prime Minister said.

He said India will start the world’s largest vaccination programme from January 16 and two Made in India vaccines have been given emergency use approval.

“We aim to vaccinate 30 crore people in the next few months. Around 3 crore healthcare workers and frontline workers will be vaccinated in the first phase of vaccination. In the second phase, those above 50 years and those under 50 years with co-morbid conditions will be vaccinated,” the Prime Minister said.
