There is no country where a large number of deaths have not taken place. “Amid these crises, India, the world’s largest democracy, presented the best model of covid-19 management under the leadership of PM Modi. Arrangements were made for free test, free treatment, free vaccine and free ration. Even today 80 crore people in the country are getting the benefit of free ration. More than 200 crore vaccine doses were given free of cost.”, CM Yogi said.
