Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi will launch high throughput COVID-19 testing facilities on 27th July via video conferencing. These facilities will ramp up testing capacity in the country and help in strengthening early detection and treatment, thus assisting in controlling the spread of the pandemic.

These three high-throughput testing facilities have been set up strategically at ICMR-National Institute of Cancer Prevention and Research, Noida; ICMR-National Institute for Research in Reproductive Health, Mumbai; and ICMR-National Institute of Cholera and Enteric Diseases, Kolkata, and will be able to test over 10,000 samples in a day. These labs will also reduce turn-around-time and exposure of lab personnel to infectious clinical materials. The labs are enabled to test diseases other than COVID as well, and post the pandemic, will be able to test for Hepatitis B and C, HIV, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Cytomegalovirus, Chlamydia, Neisseria, Dengue, etc.

Union Minister for Health & Family Welfare and Science & Technology, along with Chief Ministers of Maharashtra, West Bengal and Uttar Pradesh will be participating in the event.

A bunch of moments from PM Modi’s Assam visit that stood out
April 01, 2026

Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited a tea garden in Assam’s Dibrugarh and interacted with the women working there. Walking through the plantation, he briefly joined them in plucking tea leaves and observed their work up close.

The PM’s interaction with the plantation workers was a memorable one. Calling tea the soul of Assam, the Prime Minister acknowledged the contribution of tea garden workers in shaping the state’s identity and sustaining a sector that reaches markets across the world.

The women working in the tea plantation shared various aspects of their culture. The PM praised the tea garden communities for their hard work and perseverance, noting that it has strengthened Assam’s pride.

In a special gesture, the women also sang a traditional song paying homage to Jagat Janani Maa. It reflected how tradition remains closely linked with everyday life in the tea gardens, offering a glimpse into the lives and contributions of those who form the backbone of Assam’s tea industry.
