Launched on November 3, the 'Har Ghar Dastak' campaign aims at awareness, mobilisation and vaccination of all eligible beneficiaries through house-to-house visits in all states and Union territories.
The Centre's campaign for door-to-door Covid vaccination has led to a 5.9 % rise in the first dose coverage and an 11.7% hike in the second dose coverage till November 30, Union Health Secretary Rajesh Bhushan said on Thursday.
Reviewing the progress made under the campaign with the health secretaries and NHM Mission Directors of states and Union Territories via video conference, he appreciated their performance during the drive.
Everyone talks about the Airport Metro, but one look at the pillars and completion seems nowhere in sight. Meanwhile, a faster, cheaper, roomier alternative called the Suburban Rail Airport Corridor is finally getting off the drawing board. This dedicated corridor with its specialised coaches will link the airport to vast stretches of Bengaluru, where the metro connection is still years away.
