Our vaccination drive has yet again showed the power of this Team India

- PM Modi

India's vaccine drive, Modi added, is an example of what the country can achieve if the citizens and the government come together with a common goal in the spirit of “Jan Bhagidari” (people's participation).

Our healthcare workers traversed hills and crossed rivers across difficult geographies to vaccinate people. Our youth, social workers, healthcare workers, social and religious leaders, all deserve credit for the fact that India faces minimal vaccine hesitancy when compared to even developed nations

- PM Modi

In an opinion piece a day after the cumulative vaccine doses crossed the landmark figure of 100 crore, Modi noted that the feat was achieved in nine months despite many doubting the country's capability, and asserted that his government ensured that, like its other schemes, there is no “VIP culture” in the vaccination drive either.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday described India's COVID-19 vaccination drive as a journey from “anxiety to assurance” that has made the country emerge stronger, and credited its success to people's trust in the vaccines despite “various efforts to create mistrust and panic”.
