The Government of India successfully undertook the mammoth repatriation exercise Vande Bharat under the shadow of Covid-19, bringing back over five million stranded Indian nationals from across the globe.

“Dr Jaishankar showed tremendous foresight. Before anybody could have anticipated that it is going to be such a big challenge and the scale of it, he alerted us as early as in February (2020),” Akhilesh Mishra, Additional Secretary (DPA) in the Ministry of External Affairs told StratNews Global. “So we had to start our preparation and mental planning very, very, early on,” Mishra said, terming the Vande Bharat Mission “history’s largest repatriation exercise”.
