Under the stewardship of the Adani Foundation, the Adani Vidya Mandir school campus in the city will be converted into a supportive care facility for COVID +ve patients," a statement from the Adani Group read.This facility aims to lighten the load on the city's government and private health infrastructure and will take care of those who are isolated from their families.

We must support them in every possible way we can," said the Adani Foundation, adding that they expect to leverage the group's execution experience in rapidly putting up the infrastructure at the Adani Vidya Mandir."We will convert our school's halls of learning into halls of life - from vidya-daan to jeevan-daan," the group said.Through the Adani Vidya Mandir CCC, the Adani Foundation will provide patient beds, nutritious food and medical care.
