Watch former Captain, Indian Cricket Team, Virender Sehwag saluting change makers who are working ceaselessly to save the lives of children across the country under the Routine Immunisation programme of Mission Indradhanush.

This video's spotlight is on Government's efforts towards developing an alternate vaccine supply chain by making use of community-based organizations and civil society members in order to establish a strong system of vaccine delivery. It has led people like Pooranchandra - an auto driver, to become an integral part of the Routine Immunisation (RI) - Mission Indhradhanush campaign.

Pooran is one of the many auto drivers, registered under Government's Alternate Vaccine Delivery System (AVDS) in Odisha. AVDS is an innovative programme intervention in vaccine distribution for the immunisation of children that has borne rich results in the state by increasing vaccine coverage and reaching difficult-to-reach sites. Every Wednesday, at the crack of dawn, Pooran gets up to get ready and heads straight - not to the auto stand - to the health centre. Here, he fills in a register, collects boxes of vaccines and supplies; loads them in his auto rickshaw, and sets off on his "mission". He also returns the unused vaccines the same day, preventing any wastage.

EK Star Aisa Bhi salutes people like Pooranchandra for their committed involvement in the Routine Immunisation Mission Indradhanush; and encourages all parents to take the responsibility of ensuring that their children complete the immunisation cycle, and are protected against seven deadly vaccine preventable diseases.
