NSE Foundation, a Section 8 subsidiary of National Stock Exchange of India Limited, has launched an innovative programme that will unite the efforts of grass root level partners and the local district administration to facilitate increased vaccination in remote ‘aspirational’ districts of India which include Nandurbar and Osmanabad in Maharashtra, Karauli in Rajasthan, Ramanathapuram in Tamil Nadu and Kiphire in Nagaland.
Dr Vinod K. Paul, Member NITI Aayog, Chair of the Empowered Group on Medical Infrastructure and Covid Management Plan, National Task Force on Covid-19 (ICMR), and the National Expert Group on Vaccine Administration for Covid-19 (NEGVAC) launched Project CAVACH in the presence of District Collectors and NSE Officials. NSEF will drive the vaccination advocacy campaign across the districts by mobilizing the community through concerted communication and facilitation of the vaccination process. Its local NGO partners will work on lowering resistance, addressing fears through community connect programmes and improving footfall for vaccination so that herd immunity is achieved in these districts.
