Indian Institute of Technology-Madras Alumni in India and abroad have donated more than USD two million towards COVID relief efforts in India that are being coordinated by their Alma Mater.
IIT Madras is using a phased approach for deployment to ensure a high impact. The fund raising was coordinated by the office of Alumni and Corporate Relations (ACR), IIT Madras, in association with IIT Madras Alumni Association of North America and IIT-Madras Foundation in the US.
The IIT-M Alumni Charitable Trust played a vital role in the logistics and in liaising with the local government to ensure timely deployment of the units, according to a release.
