Bengaluru, Sep 18: Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai and Health and Family Welfare Minister Dr K Sudhakar have heartily praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for constantly helping Karnataka for its record achievement of administering 29 lakh doses of vaccines in the State on Friday.

They have also complimented Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya for ensuring greater supplies of vaccine doses to the State.

“The State could achieve administering 29 lakh doses out of the target of 30 lakh doses on a single day on Friday to mark the Prime Minister’s birthday and achieve a record,’’ the Chief Minister said in a tweet profusely thanking Modi.

Dr K Sudhakar, who is also the State’s Medical Education Minister, said Karnataka accounted for 11% of the total vaccination in the country on Friday and pointed out that about 1.68 lakh doses are yet to be recorded on Cowin portal. "This is a unique feat,’’ he said.

Speaking to the media, the minister said Karnataka wanted to celebrate Prime Minister’s birthday ‘in a meaningful manner with an accelerated special vaccination drive’.

“Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai fully supported the initiative and we had set a target to clock 30 lakh jabs. As of 8:30 AM on Saturday 29,50,093 doses have been administered and another 1.68 lakh doses are yet to be recorded in portal which takes the total count to 31 lakh doses. Karnataka accounted for 11% of the total doses administered in the country on Friday,’’ he mentioned.

By inoculating 62,003 persons for every 10 lakh eligible population Karnataka stands first in the entire country. As many as 14,401 vaccination centres were set up across the State and on an average 205 doses were administered in each centre. In the State, 14 districts have achieved more than the target and only 4 districts have achieved 75% of the target, said minister.

With 4.09 lakh doses, BBMP has administered the highest jabs in the country. 2.57 lakh doses have been administered in Belagavi. About 14.96 jabs were administered to women while 14.53 lakh men were inoculated.

“Cumulatively, the State has administered more than 5 crore doses and the last 1 crore has been achieved in just 20 days. More than 1 crore people are fully vaccinated with both the doses,’’ explained the minister.

Blood, Organ Donation

On Friday, the minister said a mega blood donation drive was conducted and 5,201units of blood were collected of which 1,240 units, 298 units and 295 units were collected in BBMP, Ballari and Dakshina Kannada respectively. There is demand for blood for about 1% of the population in the State.

In order to promote organ donation, the State Government has decided to start dedicated organ donation cells in all medical colleges and district hospitals.

The Chief Miniser will soon launch a special drive to create awareness about organ donation. Target will be set to ensure distribution of Ayushman Bharat Arogya Karnataka cards to all eligible in three months, said Dr Sudhakar.

Vision Report

Dr Sudhakar said the comprehensive vision report prepared by 250 experts will be handed over to Prime Minister by the Chief Minister and Modi will launch the vision report.

He said one person has been subjected to Nipah test and he kept in isolation.

BJP does not need lessons from Congress on protecting Hinduism. BJP has been fighting for it from decades. If there are any lapses it will be rectified, the minister added.

    If more than 2.5 vr vaccines given on one day, why not give it one week back or one month back? That means suddenly 2.5 cr people demanded vaccine?

    Why communist Corona, why communist hidden wars and lockdowns, famine.... or Why Big Billionaires loot common people and governments' tax payers money through these depopulating vaccines..... God the Father September 16, 2021 Once again, I (Maureen) see a Great Flame that I have come to know as the Heart of God the Father. He says: “Children, every soul ever born into the world goes through his life, passion and death. The choices he makes and his relationship with Me – his Creator – determines his eternal destination. I do not make this choice for the soul. The soul chooses himself. As he stands before My Son* in judgment, he knows where he will be going.” ....... “Live according to the path of Holy Love. Respect and abide by My Commandments.** In charity, pray for one another before the soul is born into the world and during his life on earth and even after his death. Be generous with your prayers. In so doing, I will be generous with the graces I send to you.”....... “Most people live as though I do not exist. This is why you have wars, disease and hunger amongst you. Through these Messages* and this Shrine,** I am trying to capture the attention of the human race. Assist Me in My efforts by evangelizing these Messages.” ....... Read 1 John 3:19 * The Messages of Holy and Divine Love at Maranatha Spring and Shrine.

    Praising Modi like he paid from his pocket. And to show his name and fame released millions vaccine on his birthday. Why not earlier people were struggling to get vaccines. Modi does not care people he cares only his name to publish in everything. He wants to take name by force not because people likes him

    Unfortunately more money to Bill Gates and Bezos to even buy farmlands here in india to push their cancer causing GMO farm food products for more population decimation including pushing their synthetic meat. 2.5 crore x 700 Rs ? 1750 Crore Good business in ONE DAY for elites. They can buy even more politicians both ruling and opposition! who dies or who survives who cares? Elite made their money with their gain function research in wuhan virus. It's power is gone long back but looks like it's deadly sting continuing equaly with these business enhancing vaccines. That's why covid is not coming under control to make more money. Next booster market, that's the reason before the strains, vaccines were brought out. No suprises if these strains are because of these vaccines for business continuity.

    Professional ‘Hogalu Bhattaru’ to oblige Modi for thier own selfish motto. It’s the constitutionally sworn duty of all govt officials to serve people. Nobody is doing any favours nor asking for any favours neither requires any flattery only doing the job. After all whats so difficult for this govt to give rosy picture and spicy numbers for popularity and vote gains.
