Forms Covid Task Force to assist District Administration

Mysore/Mysuru: CII Mysuru has formed a Covid Task Force to assist the District Administration in its fight against the pandemic and to help the ailing patients during this second wave of COVID. 

CII has initiated a series of funding and donation activities, which includes funding and procurement of Ambulances, Ventilators, Oxygen generating plants, Oxygen concentrators, Oxygen Cylinders, Beds and Cots and medicines. 

As part of this initiative, Pavan Ranga, Chairman, CII and Supriya Salian, Vice-Chairman, handed over two ventilators (sponsored by NR Group and Excelsoft Technologies) to Dr. C.P. Nanjaraj, Dean, Mysore Medical College and Research Institute, Dr. Dinesh and Dr. Mohan from District Hospitals yesterday at K.R. Hospital.  

Speaking about the current COVID situation, Pavan Ranga said, “It is a challenging time for all of us, hence it is very important for us to join our hands and support the Government in this battle. From CII Mysuru we are doing everything possible to help our District Administration to overcome this pandemic.  I would also like to request every citizen to do their bit and follow the Government’s directive very seriously. The Government requires not only medical infrastructure, but also more people for several activities like counselling, war room management and paramedical assistance.”

The District Administration has been very aggressively taking steps to address all issues to ensure the containment of COVID, and at the same time trying to create additional capacity to efficiently treat COVID patients. In this regard, many corporate members of CII Mysuru such as Automotive Axles, Infosys, NR Group, Mypol, Kaynes Technologies, Triton Valves, Schevaran Laboratories, rProcess, Cyient DLM, Unilog, ITC Limited, Bacardi, Jubilant, Excelsoft, Triveni Engineering, AT&S, India Gears, Plansee India, Kalpatharu, H&V Advanced Materials, Invensoft, Mangalore Ganesh Beedi Works, and others have come forward and supported generously for the cause. 

Also, Young Indians, an arm of CII has been very actively setting up blood donation camps and sending volunteers to War Rooms.
