New Delhi: Amid an ongoing rise in COVID-19 cases in India, President Ram Nath Kovind on Tuesday said that the pandemic has been an extraordinary challenge on humankind.
While addressing the nation on the eve of 73rd Republic Day, President said that humankind is battling the ongoing pandemic for two years. Many people have lost their lives and the world economy has been reeling under the impact.
"It has been an extraordinary challenge to humankind. The pandemic management was bound to be all the more difficult in India. We have a high population density, and as a developing economy, we did not have the level of resources and infrastructure needed to battle this invisible enemy. But it is only in such difficult times that the resilience of a nation shines forth," he said.
"I am proud to say that we have shown an unmatched resolve against the coronavirus," he added.

Meanwhile, he urged the people of India to follow the COVID protocols and to not lower their guards against the ongoing situation.
“We must remain alert and not let our guard down against coronavirus and the precautions have to be continued,” President Kovind said.
He also hailed the vaccination drive that is going on against COVID-19 in the country, saying "In the first year itself, we raised the healthcare infrastructure and also reached out to help others. By the second year, we had developed indigenous vaccines and launched the world's biggest vaccination drive in history. During the pandemic, we have reached out to several other countries with vaccines and other medical help. This contribution by India has been appreciated by international organizations".
