Bal Bharti Academy NGO Launches Social Platform to Fight Against COVID-19

On March 11, 2020, World Health Organization (WHO) declared novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) outbreak as a pandemic and reiterated the call for countries to take immediate actions and scale up response to treat, detect and reduce transmission to save people’s lives.

“BBA has pledged to fight against COVID-19 and help the government and people of India by bringing in the best products and solutions that are 100 per cent made in India. The focus is not only on providing best rates but also fully Indian products. This will lay the foundation of foreign companies to come to India and establish themselves in manufacturing,” says Mr. Maninder Singh (Secretary) Bal Bharti Academy.

Further Ms. Ritika Singh (Jt. Secretary – Bal Bharti Academy) said, “In this critical and difficult situation, people are ripping off each other in supply of material and services that are essential during this time by charging high amount of money. We at BBA have created this platform as a nodal agency to promote various good human companies to bring best products/services at lowest prices as we stand tall with the nation.”

This is a time when the importance of preventive healthcare will grow in the consumer mind space. The sudden surge in numbers of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) cases has caused the nations across the globe to take steps to stop the spread. Ever since the outbreak of the deadly disease, there has been a need to routinely check temperatures that too with a distance.

“The Digital Infra-Red Thermometer and sanitization are two major developments which will help to aid the mitigation of the coronavirus outbreak to start with. Further, there will be many more important technology-based solutions that are being introduced by us in near future like Thermal Imaging Cameras, etc.,” says Mr. Arjun Prasad (Addl. Secretary) of Bal Bharti Academy.

The infrared thermometers are used to detect the body temperature in case of fever, one of the symptoms of coronavirus. These thermometers check the human temperature by sensing the infrared energy radiated by the body.

Taapman.in has created non-contact infrared thermometers under 100% Make in India to take up the COVID battle in Indian market.

There may be a condition in future in which a prolonged pandemic leads to a shortage of labour and higher running costs due to the need for more sanitization and thus stop gradually spreading across the country.
