While India has been able to marginally reduce the infants infected from Diphtheria, Tetanus and Measles, the cases of Tuberculosis, Pneumonia, Pertussis and Diarrhoea have only magnified.

Forty years after immunization was introduced for the first time in India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed representatives from 54 countries at the Partnership for Maternal, Newborn and Child Health (PMNCH) and cited the renamed Mission Indradhanush—it aims to immunize all children under the age of 2 years, as well as all pregnant women—as being “close” to his heart.

But four years after its inception, the project is crippled by the paucity of funds, hidden behind the opacity of inadequate data and doesn’t even include all the vaccines that are globally recommended.

Immunization was expanded to Universal Immunization Programme in 1985 and renamed as Mission Indradhanush on December 25, 2014 by the Centre. Its aim was to fully immunize infants till two-years-old and pregnant women with all available vaccines till 2020. In October 2017, the project was further strengthened with the launch of the Intensified Mission Indradhanush with an additional aim of addressing low-performing areas.
