@IAmSudhirMishra Sir, glad you asked. We generally stay away from lime light (read bragging) but since you asked I will brief you of the different things that has been happening at IIT Kanpur.

1. My colleagues are feeding a lot of people daily at a community kitchen - hindustantimes.com/education/iit-…

@IAmSudhirMishra 2. PPEs - unconventional but easy to scale and cheap - have been designed and are being used. The design has been made public so that anyone can scale it - hindustantimes.com/education/iit-…

@IAmSudhirMishra 3. Drones developed at IIT Kanpur is being used by Kanpur city police to keep an eye on the city during lockdown - hindustantimes.com/lucknow/in-a-f…

@IAmSudhirMishra 4. Our scientists and incubated companies have developed N-95 like reusable masks - timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/kanpur/ds…

The earlier version of it is available in the market - indiamart.com/proddetail/swa…

The COVID-19 version will be produced inside the campus from mid-June, 70K per day.

@IAmSudhirMishra 5. The ventilator project that we are championing went from conception to pilot (started today) in 6 weeks. From May 21 it will hit mass scale production and deployment - hindustantimes.com/education/covi…

@IAmSudhirMishra 6. Under development - A. Oxygen concentrator - Product developed, looking for industrial partner
B. Sani-Walk - Likely to hit mass production by 2nd week of July

@IAmSudhirMishra The above was just from IITK. Similar activities are happening at all IITs.

Agreed that we could not do a whole lot of things, including making you read news articles.

Thanks for reading ...........
