Explanation

'Mission Indradhanush' is a flagship program launched by the Government of India. Its primary aim is to rapidly boost full immunization coverage for children and pregnant women across the country. The mission focuses on increasing coverage for all vaccine-preventable diseases under the Universal Immunization Program (UIP), including diphtheria, whooping cough, tetanus, polio, tuberculosis, measles, and hepatitis B, and from 2016, Japanese Encephalitis and Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib). The initiative prioritizes areas with low immunization coverage to ensure that no child or pregnant woman is left behind.
