Visakhapatnam Port Authority Funds Generator for Sankar Foundation
Visakhapatnam Port Authority is giving money to an eye hospital.
The money will help the hospital buy and install a large generator.
The generator can provide electricity when the usual power supply stops.
This is important for eye tests, surgeries and patient care.
The port authority approved Rs 46.42 lakh for the project.
It has already released half of that amount, or Rs 23.21 lakh.
The Sankar Foundation said the support will improve the hospital’s facilities.
The project is expected to help the hospital continue providing eye care to many people.
Visakhapatnam Port Authority sanctioned Rs 46.42 lakh through its CSR programme.
The funding will support a 500-KVA generator at Sankar Foundation Eye Hospital in Naidutota, Visakhapatnam.
The generator is intended to maintain power for diagnostic, surgical and patient-care services.
The port authority released the first instalment of Rs 23.21 lakh, representing 50% of the sanctioned amount.
Foundation CEO A Krishna Kumar thanked VPA chairperson Jasmeet Singh Bindra for the support.
