Billionaire Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Industries Ltd. (RIL) on Monday declared a donation of Rs. 500 crore to the PM CARES Fund to battle COVID19.
The donation from Reliance Industries comes in response because of the call by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to support the nation's battle against the Coronavirus (COVID19) attack.
RIL also informed that in addition to the financial contribution to the PM CARES Fund, the company has additionally given contributions of Rs. 5 crore each to the government of Maharashtra and Gujarat to support their battles against COVID19.
"RIL also continues with its 24×7, multi-pronged, on-the-ground effort to do its bit to ensure the country remains prepared, fed, supplied, safe, connected and motivated to battle and win against the unprecedented challenges brought upon by the Coronavirus pandemic," RIL said in an statement.
RIL has already deployed the strength of the Reliance Family on this action plan against COVID19.
"RIL and its motivated group have stepped up in the urban areas and towns, on streets and lanes, centers and hospitals, grocery and retail stores, and it has pressed extra capabilities into the service of the nation," it included.
Moreover, RIL and Reliance Foundation are also leading with a significant effort that includes a few activities.
These includes the building of India's first 100-bedded with exclusive hospital in only two weeks to deal with COVID19 patients, 50 lakh free meals in the following 10 days the country over and scaling up quickly to more suppers and more current territories.
The initiative has also been taken to produce one lakh mask daily for health- workers and caregivers, thousands of PPEs daily for health-workers and caregivers and provide free fuel across the country to notified emergency response vehicles.
