00:00Everyone in Bihar will get the vaccine for free.
00:04That is our first promise.
00:30I want to say with confidence that in India, because the biomedical, bio-pharma industry
00:46is good, their capacity has been increasing for the past 20 years, we are going towards
00:54production.
00:55If there are 1, 2, 3 trial stages, first we do it on animals, then we test it in the lab
01:03again, then we do human trials, crossing all three phases, up to the last stage, at least
01:123 such vaccines have come to the production line in India, and after that, if the scientific
01:20people say that yes, this is fine, they can do production now, the capacity to do production
01:26is also because of the encouragement of our government, they are ready to do large production.
01:35So when scientists clear this, in our country, vaccine production will be at the level from
