Speaking to ANI, DG Dr. Shekhar Mande said, "I think there is enthusiasm now amongst all the healthcare workers and scientists that we can do it." Shekhar Mande said, "I felt fantastic when a statement coming from the highest office in the country came and it gives us confidence and to the society that such a large-scale program is indeed possible. If we can conduct the largest election on the planet so smoothly without any major complaint on election process, then why not this program? Just like everybody has a right to go and vote and like earlier we had conducted vaccination programs like polio, smallpox and got rid of them, then this program is surely possible."
