'The best booster'

He said, “All this was possible because of the leadership of our central government, our state governments, health workers, and manufacturers. Everyone worked together for a common goal.

 

Everyone is looking toward India

Poonawalla said that everyone is looking towards India today. Not only in terms of healthcare but also because India has managed to take care of a large and diverse population. Also helped 70 to 80 countries during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The program was organized on the occasion of the birth anniversary of Kadam, the late Minister of Western Maharashtra and education stalwart.

 

'No place like India'

Poonawalla appealed to the students who wish to pursue education abroad and said that there is no place like India to fulfill dreams because of Bharati Vidyapeeth and other institutions like it. He said, "Even if you have to go abroad, come back as soon as possible."
