In the race to find and manufacture the vaccine for the COVID-19 pandemic, Industries Minister KT Rama Rao expressed confidence that the first vaccine will be produced in Telangana State especially from the Genome Valley on the outskirts of Hyderabad. He promised to all vaccine manufacturers that Telangana State will champion the cause of decentralisation, funding and becoming flexible in terms of regulations, by advocating their voices with the Central government.
Participating in a discussion on ‘The Vaccine Race – Balancing Science and Urgency’ organised by the State government here on Tuesday, Rama Rao said India especially Telangana has been in forefront in vaccine manufacturing with one-third of global vaccines being produced in Hyderabad alone. He said the COVID-19 pandemic has provided the pharma and life sciences sector in Telangana State with an opportunity to fortify its position as a global force in the world of pharmaceuticals.
