Ek Star Aisa Bhi - "Pooranchandra and the Tikkakaran Express", Orissa

Wednesday is an extraordinary day for Pooranchandra – an auto driver in Odisha. Every Wednesday, at the crack of dawn he gets up to get ready and heads straight, not to the auto stand but to the health centre of his town.  Here, he fills in a register, collects boxes of vaccines and supplies; loads them in his auto-rickshaw, and sets off on his "mission" to deliver these vaccines at six different sub-centres around the region.

It is because of Pooran and many others like him that children in these difficult-to-reach areas are getting vaccinated and as a result vaccine coverage in the state has increased significantly. Pooran is a part of the Routine Immunization (RI) campaign - “Mission Indradhanush” and his mission is to ensure complete immunization of children. Many Poorans in the state of Odisha have chosen to become a part of this mission and are registered under the Government's Alternate Vaccine Delivery System (AVDS). Thanks to the invaluable efforts of Pooran and many like him, the dream of complete vaccination is getting closer.

EK Star AisaBhi is a joint effort by UNICEF and the Government to salute true stars like Pooranchandra for their committed involvement in the RI Mission Indradhanush; and encourages all parents to take responsibility of ensuring that their children complete the Routine Immunization cycle and are protected against seven deadly vaccine-preventable diseases.

Bachhon ko swasth aur desh ko khush haal banaiye" (We are taking the first step. You take the next one and join us... to make our children healthy and the nation prosperous).
