ASI Office Bearers hand deliver PPEs across India

After an extensive search and negotiating the best possible rates (at a time when PPE manufacturers were few and far between), ASI placed the order to procure the PPEs from a Govt. of India approved manufacturer with an established track record based out of Bengaluru.

Dr. P Raghu Ram took up the arduous task of swiftly identifying the manufacturer and co-ordinated delivery of PPE sets to representatives of ASI in various States, which in turn were “hand-delivered” to healthcare workers in the front line.
