Jindal, Chairman, JSW Group, said that the group was continuously
evaluating the situation and was committed to assist the government in all ways
possible to deal with the coronavirus pandemic.
"These immediate contributions
are what we see is the need of the hour, and we have earmarked further monetary
and non-monetary contributions so as to dynamically respond to all societal
requirements in future," Jindal said.
Additionally, each employee
of JSW Group has also committed a minimum of a one-day's salary as a donation
to the PM-CARES Fund. Many employees are also offering more than their one-day
salary as a contribution. The JSW Group will contribute generously to PM-Cares
Fund, the company said.
A part of the commitment
fund has also been allocated to source and import ventilators for healthcare
facilities across the country and to fund testing kits and personal protective
equipment like masks and gloves for healthcare workers, the company added.
Communities around the JSW
Group facilities would also be provided with essential dietary requirements and
staples. The company also plans to convert several of its facilities across JSW
Group locations into Isolation wards, limiting the stress on community
hospitals, it added.
