NEW DELHI, APRIL 13
Faced with a surging epidemic and a shortage of vaccines, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today appealed for patience, understanding and the need for global cooperation.
"We know the supplies have been modest. We know the demands are huge. We know it will be a long time before the entire humanity can be vaccinated," said the Prime Minister while inaugurating this year's fully-digital Raisina Dialogue, a marquee event of the MEA with the Observer Research Foundation.

There's no Planet B
We may be used to having Plan A and Plan B, but there is no Planet B. It's only Planet Earth, which we hold as a trustee for future generations.— Narendra Modi Prime Minister
"
"We will continue to share our experiences, our expertise and resources with the entire humanity in the fight against Covid," he said.
On the slow pace of vaccination worldwide, the PM said, "How do we administer vaccine on a scale and with speed?" Though many solutions have emerged, the PM said the situation had come to this stage perhaps because the concern for welfare of humanity had been left behind in the race of economic development.
The PM said the horrors of the first and second World Wars compelled the emergence of many structures and institutions. But they were aimed at answering only one question — how to prevent World War III? — TNS
