It was in this backdrop that India's ability to rise \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e to the challenge had been written off entirely by many leading 'experts'. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Doomsday predictions were made which included mass deaths and anarchy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e However, Prime Minister Modi's robust grip on the administration changed \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e India's fortunes in the fight against the virus. He took absolute control of \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e the country's response mechanisms and streamlined systems to cut red-tape. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Led by fact-based scientific advice, the Indian government galvanized their \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e inheritance of less-than-adequate resources, augmented capacities rapidly \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e and prudently spent its reserves on the most effective solutions. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Hence, even after two waves of the pandemic, India has managed to save \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e more lives than most countries in the world. India has proved the cynics \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e wrong with one of the lowest fatality rates. As a testament to its scientific \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e and technological prowess, India has not only developed multiple indigenous \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e vaccines but is running the world's largest vaccination drive supported by \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e superb infrastructure.
