"The Indian scientists have been successful in coming up with two 'made in India' COVID19 vaccines. The country is proud of its scientists," he added.
Today our scientists are dedicating the National Atomic Time Scale and Indian Directive Material System to the nation. The foundation stone of the country's first National Environmental Standard Laboratory has also been laid, the Prime Minister said.
This new development is going to increase the pride of the country in the new decade, the Prime Minister added.
He further pointed out that the world's largest COVID vaccination programme is also going to start in India.

CSIR and other institutions came together to face every challenge and find solutions for new situations, the Prime Minister stated.
"With your support, awareness has been raised about these science institutes in the country today," he said.
