EDUCATION POLICY :-

Education is fundamental for achieving full human potential,

developing an equitable and just
society, and promoting national development. Providing universal
access to quality education is the
key to India’s continued ascent, and leadership on the global
stage in terms of economic growth,
social justice and equality, scientific advancement, national
integration, and cultural preservation.
Universal high-quality education is the best way forward for
developing and maximizing our
country's rich talents and resources for the good of the
individual, the society, the country, and the
world. India will have the highest population of young people in
the world over the next decade, and
our ability to provide high-quality educational opportunities to
them will determine the future of our
country.

Saving india first vs saving world - vaccines's prioritization

India’s vaccine diplomacy has showcased the quality of its

products and capabilities,
as much as its selfless outlook.

Till date, we have supplied ‘Made in India’ vaccines to 72 nations

across geographies.
In the truest sense, this has been people-centric diplomacy at
work.
The world sees not just the selfless outlook of India but also of
the
quality of our products and capabilities.

India started exporting vaccines soon after the first phase of the
mass immunization drive began on 16 January.
Front-line workers such as doctors, nurses, security personnel and
sanitation workers
were the first to receive the jabs.
While some of the vaccines were sent as grants, most shipments
were on a commercial basis.

India is exporting the Covishield vaccine, developed by Oxford

University and AstraZeneca,
and manufactured by Pune-based Serum Institute of India (SII).
India has so far shipped 58 million doses to 72 countries.

India has also supplied vaccines to the United Nations (UN) under
the Covax alliance
for distribution to countries in Africa and other low and middle-
income nations.

In planning and executing Vaccine Maitri, we are naturally guided

by a determination
to make a difference at a difficult moment for global society.

India’s huge capacity to make coronavirus vaccines is helping the

country
take on China in the battle to gain political influence across the
developing world.

Chinese pharmaceutical companies have been reticent in sharing

details
of their pivotal vaccine trials crucial for building public trust
around the world,
and new domestic outbreaks reinforced the urgency of inoculating
China’s own 1.4 billion population,
a task that could take years. Meanwhile,
India sent millions of doses to neighboring Nepal, Bangladesh and
Sri Lanka,
allowing them to begin vaccinations earlier than if they had
waited for Chinese doses.

India is prioritizing its own population.

But India’s ability to manufacture vaccines was always going to
outstrip the nation’s ability to inoculate
all of its own citizens.
And the country’s leaders can now deploy those millions of surplus
vaccines to win friends and influence abroad.
