India is among 10 countries that account for 55 percent of children without measles vaccination globally, show WHO-UNICEF estimates of national immunisation coverage.
Findings come nearly a year after several Indian states had outbreaks. Reported measles incidence increased 72 percent worldwide in 2021-2022, says report.
Nearly 400 lakh children missed a measles vaccine dose in 2021. While cases have not yet gone up dramatically compared to previous years, now is the time to act, WHO's measles lead said.
Disenfranchisement by institutional fiat is profoundly undemocratic. The effect of the ECI's new documentary process in Bihar will tilt the scales in favour of the BJP.
Mini deal will likely see no cut in 10% baseline tariff on Indian exports announced by Trump on 2 April, it is learnt, but additional 26% tariffs are set to be reduced.
India-Russia JV is also racing to deliver 7,000 more AK-203 assault rifles by 15 Aug. These are currently being made with 50% indigenisation and this will surge to 100% by 31 December.
Public, loud, upfront, filled with impropriety and high praise sometimes laced with insults. This is what we call Trumplomacy. But the larger objective is the same: American supremacy.
