The unit, set up within 2 months, will provide Oxygen directly to the 32-bed Community Health Centre, besides providing Oxygen support to three Primary health Centres in the region. The Oxygen Generation Plant has been set up by Dabur Group’s CSR arm Dr S. K. Burman Trust and will help provide a long-term solution to meet the medical-grade oxygen demand in the city.

The unit has a compressor, dryer, Oxygen generator and storage tanks that could cater to hospitals and health centres in the region. The function was attended by Dr D S Panchpal, CMO, Udham Singh Nagar, Mr. Alok Kumar Dubey, Dabur India Ltd Unit Head-Pantnagar and Mr. Avanesh Yadav, Dabur India Ltd Unit HR Head-Pantnagar.

 

“With the rising COVID-19 cases during the second wave, supply of oxygen had emerged as the need of the hour. It was an unprecedented situation, and we were extremely pained by the huge loss of human life due to dire shortage of Oxygen. Community well-being has always been our priority and Dabur Group has pledged support to fight this pandemic. As part of this commitment, we have joined hands with the District Administration of Udham Singh Nagar to address the need of sufficient oxygen supply. The joint initiative will ensure uninterrupted supply of Oxygen, which is essential to bring COVID-19 linked mortality rates under control,” Dabur India Ltd CSR Head Mr. A Sudhakar said.

 

“I would like to thank the District Administration for their support in setting up this oxygen plant in record time. We are committed to support the citizens of the district, State and the nation at large during such unprecedented crisis. We have been working closely with the local authorities in not just rolling out relief measures but also ensuring maximum coverage of the COVID vaccination drive in the community. This new Oxygen Generator Plant in Sitarganj is another step forward in the direction of supporting the society in the fight against COVID,” Dabur India Ltd Unit Head–Pantnagar Mr. Alok Kumar Dubey said.
