Solution:

The correct answer is Narendra Singh Tomar. On June 9, Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar launched Anocovax. It is India's first homegrown COVID-19 vaccine for animals, produced by the ICAR-National Research Centre on Equines (NRCE) in Haryana. The vaccine uses Alhydrogel as an adjuvant and contains inactivated SARS-CoV-2 (Delta) antigen. It is also safe for dogs, lions, leopards, mice, and bunnies, according to the company.
