JNU plans COVID health centre on campus, seeks financial support from alumni – Times of India
“Your contribution to JNU in any form, one day’s salary or larger amounts, will make a difference in helping us fight this pandemic. Alumni are also welcome to donate oxygen concentrators. Donating masks, oxymeters, sanitisers and digital thermometers will help us in equipping our frontline workers,” he said.
The JNU administration has recently constituted a COVID Response Team, which has been making all possible efforts to provide support to the affected residents and contain the spread of this pandemic on the campus, Kumar said.
“However, there is a need to boost its existing infrastructure to meet the increased demand on campus. Therefore, JNU plans to upgrade the current infrastructure of our health centre and develop a well-equipped COVID health centre, which requires considerable financial support,” he said.
In its executive council meeting held in February, the university had endorsed the creation of a “JNU Alumni Endowment Fund”. Around the world, higher educational institutions benefit a great deal from contributions received from their alumni, he said.
“As scientists have warned that this pandemic is going to continue for some time to come, there is an urgent need to upgrade the existing health infrastructure of the campus,” Kumar said.
