Apart from the funds allocated by the Company, the staff of both companies came together to donate a day’s salary towards this cause. The suggestion to donate a day’s salary came to the Management from the staff and I am truly thanking all of them for this magnanimous gesture at a time of great national need. As part of this project other hospitals too will receive various equipment and medical supplies in due course”.
