National Vaccination Day 2026: How CSR Partnerships Strengthen India’s Immunization Drive

On March 16, 2026, India observes National Vaccination Day—a reminder of the transformative power of vaccines and the collective responsibility to protect future generations. Immunization remains one of the most cost‑effective public health interventions, credited with reducing global mortality and morbidity. In India, the Universal Immunization Programme (UIP) provides free protection against 12 vaccine‑preventable diseases, including tuberculosis, poliomyelitis, measles, and rotavirus diarrhoea.

Ending AIDS Is Everyone’s Business: A Human Rights Call to Action for India

World AIDS Day, observed annually on 1 December, serves as a powerful reminder that the fight against HIV/AIDS is far from over and that progress cannot be sustained without placing human rights at the centre of the response. While scientific advancements have transformed HIV from a fatal illness into a manageable chronic condition, the persistence of stigma, discrimination and inequality continues to undermine prevention, treatment and care efforts. In this context, ending AIDS is not merely a public health objective; it is a shared social, economic and moral responsibility that demands collective action across sectors.
