India Inc Welcomes PM Modi's Decision For Vaccine Procurement By Centre

ABP News  

Mumbai: Leaders of India Inc. on Monday welcomed Prime Minister Narendra Modi's decision to streamline vaccine procurement with the Centre bearing 75% of the cost of doses as it would provide speed to India's vaccination programme and leave states with more resources to fight the Coronavirus. Welcoming the decision, Tata Steel MD and CII President Mr T V Narendran, said, "The announcements by the Hon'ble Prime Minister today are welcome moves in the critical task of ensuring quick rollout of vaccines. The Pradhan Mantri Ann Kalyan Yojana's extension providing free ration to 800 million people till Diwali would instill a great sense of food security to the economically weaker sections of society, according to ASSOCHAM. In addition, CII's concern and advocacy regarding protecting the poor from loss of livelihoods has been addressed by the Prime Minister's announcement of extending the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana until November 2021 to ensure free food grains to weaker sections of society," said Mr. Narendran.
