JNU is just one college. There are nearly 40,000 colleges in India. I understand it is important. But there is a limit to how much importance and attention one college gets. There are more important issues in a country of 1.2bn people I am sure.

Folks: Thank you for supporting this PPE fundraiser. We got the target funds. The junior resident docs at Delhi's St Stephen's hospital got their PPE kits. From an initial ₹2.1k per kit, the supplier later got it down to ₹1.5k. Now we have a supplier at ₹1.1k. Target: 400 kits
