Made-in-India vaccine has not only made India self-reliant (Atma Nirbhar) but also has filled us with self pride, said Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his monthly radio programme, Mann ki Baat.
Mr. Modi said that whenever he addressed the citizens via this programme, he felt like being present amidst the people, talking about little things in life. He spoke about Pongal, Bihu, Makar Sankranti, Republic Day celebrations, Padma Awards and good news from cricket.
He said: “Last year, we had shown great patience and restraint in dealing with adversity. We are also completing one year of COVID-19 challenge.
