In that meeting, he appreciated Indian scientists for developing a Made in India vaccine against Covid-19 and boosting measures to fight the pandemic within a year of its outbreak.
Reports are that Modi will talk about the revised vaccination policy of the Indian government and the status of the various foreign vaccines which are being granted approvals for trials.
