Fear of exposure to Covid-19 virus is driving health care workers and even some vaccine trial participants (who got vaccinated in September-October last year), mainly from the vulnerable groups, to opt for the third dose privately.

However, their primary objective will be to immunise the 10-12 crores who remain unvaccinated.

Even as farm unions are pitching for a legal guarantee to MSP, government experts say that legalising MSP to procure 23 crops would disrupt market equilibrium, drive out private trade, and lead to inflation and a decline in agricultural exports. Officials feared that farmers would actually be hit and cited Niti Aayog’s working paper on farm reforms to argue that liberalised markets were more favourable to growth than government support and interventions in the market over a period of time.
