India’s crusade against cervical cancer gained momentum as Prime Minister Narendra Modi virtually launched the HPV vaccination drive nationwide from Ajmer. Framing it as an empowerment tool for ‘Nari Shakti,’ he held an engaging session with girls post-vaccination, later posting the video on X to amplify its reach.
The interaction brimmed with encouragement. PM Modi asked about their questions to doctors—one girl detailed inquiring on cervical cancer’s toll and the vaccine’s role in shielding 14-15-year-olds. No barriers, she confirmed; no one delayed her.
‘Will you share this with friends and family?’ he pressed. The positive response was immediate. He broadened the appeal: Raise awareness in your communities, schools, villages—help me in this mission. The girls vowed full support.
By appointing them brand ambassadors, PM Modi transformed recipients into advocates, leveraging peer influence for uptake. This bottom-up approach could revolutionize vaccination rates.
In a nation where women’s health underpins progress, this campaign signals bold action. With PM Modi’s endorsement and youth involvement, it’s set to curb HPV infections, reduce cancer burdens, and pave the way for healthier generations.
