Educational institution in border town undertakes social mission to manufacture safety gears for White-Warriors
Ferozepur, April 29, 2020: In this border town, DCM Group of Schools has undertaken a social mission to manufacture safety gear, in its own Atal Tinkering Lab, to supply to the medical staff working in government and private hospitals.
With mask- covered faces and gloved hands, the science teachers can be seen tinkering with various equipment in the Atal Tinkering Lab in the Main Branch of the DCM Group of Schools at Ferozepur Cantt. Give a close look and you realize that these teachers are not preparing experiment lectures for their respective classes, rather they are complying with a ‘social mission’. The persistent buzzing sound of the sewing machines in the adjacent room suggests that the school has been turned into a factory manufacturing sanitizers and masks.
Besides Sanitizers and masks, face- shields are also being produced in a large quantity under Mission Masks by the school to be delivered to the health personnel working in various hospitals and dispensaries of the district. Face- shields are a kind of glass helmet that covers the face completely to provide safety from viral droplets and infection.
The initiative to provide the safety gear to the health personnel has earned a lot of praise from the medical fraternity. Dr Saurav Baghi, CEO of Anil Baghi Hospital said that the DCM School has done a commendable social task by providing all the safety equipment in this time of corona scare. While Dr. Sheel Sethi, a city-based pediatric hailed the active role played by the school to play a pivotal role in ensuring the safety of the doctors of the town.
Senior physician Dr. Harsh Bhola said that DCM has thanked the school authorities, whereas a senior citizen PD Sharma, in a reminiscent tone, said that the school always came forward to emerge as a great social savior in critical times ranging from 1965 and 1971 wars to floods in 1988, when it helped the people and played an active role in collaboration with district administration in providing relief material. Now, they have come up with this novel initiative. This shows DCM always remains at the forefront when it comes to providing public services.
