- Deepak Kapur meets the NID team“The only way to make something a huge success is to involve the society,” says India PolioPlus Chairman Deepak Kapur. “Until society demands the polio vaccine, there is no path to success. And that’s what Rotary has done.” Deepak explained to us how Rotary cut through bureaucracy, bridge efforts between WHO and UNICEF, and overcome religious objections so that India has gone from 450 children stricken by polio each day to bring polio-free since 2011.Teresa Schmedding
