In the wake of the Covid-19 virus spreading rapidly resulting in the increase of the positive cases day by day, Mahindra Group came forward to lend its helping hand to fight the virus and the factories owned by the company will be making ventilators so that they can help some of the patients affected by the virus.
The Mahindra Holidays owned by the group will also convert some of the resorts into temporary quarantine centers as the authorities are expecting that more and more cases might get detected in the coming days.
"We need to create scores of temporary hospitals and we have a scarcity of ventilators. To help in the response of this unprecedented threat, we at the Mahindra Group will immediately begin work on how our manufacturing facilities can make ventilators," Anand Mahindra's Tweet read.
"I will contribute 100% of my salary to it and will add more over the next few months," he added.
Anil Agarwal chairman of the Vedanta Resources Ltd also came forward to offer help and said that he will give Rs 100 crore as his part to fight the pandemic.
"The world is currently putting up a spirited fighting against Covid-19. It is critical that corporate houses should assist the government in the fight against this deadly virus... This fund is a first step on Vedanta's behalf and we will increase the corpus if the need arises," Agarwal said on Twitter.
