PATNA: In an endeavour to strengthen the oxygen supply chain, Rodic Consultants Pvt. Ltd. has donated one empty ISO-certified, 20 MT Cryogenic Container to Bihar Foundation, Department of Industries, Govt of Bihar which has recently been notified as state nodal agency for receipt of all reliefs. The cylinder has been imported from Dubai and will be used for transport as well as storage of Liquid Medical Oxygen.

Rodic Consultants Pvt Ltd is also managing the war room on oxygen supply set up at Disaster Management Department in Bihar.
“The COVID-19 pandemic has led to massive loss of human lives and untold hardships to the families of COVID-19 patients. The initiative has been undertaken as a part of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). It will help streamline the supply of oxygen, ensure its timely delivery to COVID-19 patients and save lives. As a responsible organization, we are committed to augmenting the efforts to tackle the COVID-19 and contribute our bit, said Raj Kumar, Chairman & Managing Director, Rodic Consultants Pvt. Ltd.

The company has also developed a first-of-its-kind digital portal, “Oxygen Monitoring System for UP,” to monitor and track the real-time location of vehicles so that oxygen reaches hospitals without any delay, especially during emergencies. Over 100 volunteers led by national shooters joined Rodic Consultants in the battle against COVID-19 in Uttar Pradesh.
