Ventilators Are Vital

It takes weeks to construct a ventilator, as some of the vital parts are usually imported. In the fight against COVID-19, ventilators are vital, life-saving tools. To be able to fabricate a fully desi ventilator, using Indian made parts, that too within ten days, is sure to aid the fight against the virus.

A ventilator costs around 6.5 lakhs. But Dhaman 1 costs only Rs 1 lakh (approximately). A huge milestone in India’s fight against COVID-19.
