PROJECTS

COVID OXYGEN
We have initiated the O2 DRIVE scheme through our Arcot Foundation to supply FREE oxygen to people who are in need at home in these stressful times in Chennai. We are looking at people to come forward and donate to purchase Oxygen Concentrators and Oxygen Cylinders. Our Foundation will bear all the expenses including purchase of Liquid Oxygen, refilling of O2, transport of O2, wages and other expenses. We fill the cylinders with O2 and supply to the needy at home and take it back after their use.
