KANPUR: If Kanpur Municipal Corporation plans to boost its earnings by picking up junk out of the dry garbage, the IIT-K has aimed at producing N99 rated masks and N95 rated respiratory face masks on the campus. It has set up a target of delivering as many as 25000 pieces daily. What is considering is that the production unit remains completely automatic?
The production of the face masks will not only control the prices but also make the vital thing available quite easily to the public.
"This is the first-ever initiative by an IIT in the country," stated Dr Abhay Karandikar, director, IIT-K.
