Govt to create innovations repository to fight pandemic
NEW DELHI : Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s call on Tuesday to develop a covid-19 vaccine may have been aimed at the medical fraternity, but engineers, too, are helping in the fight against the pandemic.
Three weeks ago, the Indian Institute of Technology-Delhi was facing a shortage of hand sanitizers and face masks. “Out of frustration, I told one of our chemistry professors, why don’t you guys prepare them in IIT?
Why is it such a big deal? He replied: ‘for such a small thing, you don’t need an IIT professor, it can be done by our technical staff’.
Lo and behold, in flat two days, we had 50 litres of hand sanitizers meeting WHO standards," IIT-Delhi director V. Ramgopal Rao posted on social media.
