'Our Prime Minister has personally visited the Bharat Biotech Laboratory at the Genome Valley in Hyderabad and motivated the scientists to come up with effective vaccine to end the Covid-19,' she added.
The Governor stated that due to the relentless efforts of our scientists, we could come up with our own vaccine. We must be proud that we are not dependent upon any other country for the vaccine.
'Our own vaccine development is in the true spirit of self-reliant India as per the vision of our Prime Minister's Atma Nirbhar Bharat.
We must salute our scientists for the vaccine development and making it available. This is the greatest achievement by our scientific community and shows their capability, the country is proud of their research and innovation, the Governor said.
