The Government of India has today achieved the milestone of 1 billion doses of COVID-19 vaccination.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The world\u2019s largest Vaccination Drive has been carried out by India and today achieved this milestone.<\/p>\n

It was achieved with support from country\u2019s scientific community and health professionals.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u00a0In a historic achievement, the cumulative COVID-19 vaccine doses administered in the country has surpassed the 1 billion milestone.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u00a0In a tweet, Hon\u2019ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi congratulated the countrymen and expressed gratitude to the country\u2019s scientific community, health professionals and front-line workers for working towards achieving this stupendous feat.<\/p>\n

\u00a0India has achieved the mark of 1 billion vaccine doses in less than 40 weeks and is the only country that has developed multiple COVID-19 vaccines across multiple platforms.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u00a0Nearly all of the 1 billion doses administered have been Made-in-India.\u00a0\u00a0By the end of 2021, India would be producing more COVID-19 vaccines, monthly.<\/p>\n

This would translate to a larger potential to share vaccines with the world, contributing towards realization of the Prime Minister\u2019s vision of \u201cOne Earth, One Health\u201d.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u00a0This achievement makes it all the more important for India when the country is celebrating its 75th<\/sup>\u00a0Independence Anniversary\u00a0India@75<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0from March 2021 to August 2023 as\u00a0Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u00a0With low daily infection rate and increasing vaccinations, there is an expectation that travel to and from India will be restored to pre-coronavirus pandemic levels.<\/p>\n

In this context, India has commenced issuing e-tourist visas to tourists, including free visas to applicants.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0India is working closely with the international community to enhance bilateral relations, business linkages, cultural ties and people to people exchanges.<\/p>\n
