The Centre is pulling all stops in a bid to vaccinate all Indians above 18 years by December-end. The latest plan set in motion is vaccine delivery, especially in remote areas, with the help of hi-tech drones. The ICMR has invited bids from agencies to deliver medical supplies payload at select locations with difficult terrains.
The plan has been in the works since the government gave the apex medical research body the go ahead in April.
HLL Infra Tech Services, a unit of the government-owned HLL Lifecare, on Friday invited bids from experienced Indian agencies to build a framework and model for vaccine delivery through unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) to get vaccines to remote places or regions with tough terrain.
