Reliance Industries on Friday said that it has generated 75,000 new jobs during the pandemic-hit year. The company posted a net profit of Rs 13,227 Rs crore for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, a whopping 108% yearly increase.
“And while COVID-19 has disrupted livelihoods, we have added nearly 75,000 jobs to the economy, while ensuring the health and safety of our employees and their families,” said Mukesh D. Ambani, chairman and managing director, Reliance Industries Limited.
“These are extraordinarily challenging times for India. Our immediate priority is to help our country and community tide over the COVID crisis. We have deployed our best resources in strengthening the nation’s fight against the pandemic,” Ambani further added.
Earlier this week, Reliance Foundation said it is setting up a 1,000-bed COVID-19 care facility with oxygen supply in Jamnagar, Gujarat where all services will be provided free of cost.
A 400-bed COVID care facility will be up and running at Government Dental College & Hospital in Jamnagar within a week. Thereafter, another 600-bed facility will be made operational at another location in Jamnagar within the next two weeks, the foundation said in a statement.
“As India fights the second wave of COVID, we are committed to helping in every way we can. Additional healthcare facilities are one of the most critical needs of the hour. Reliance Foundation is setting up a 1000-bedded hospital with Oxygen for COVID patients in Jamnagar, Gujarat. The first phase of 400 beds will be ready within a week, and the other 600 beds in another week. The hospital will provide quality care free of cost,” Nita M Ambani, founder and Chairperson of Reliance Foundation, earlier said.
“Our facilities in Jamnagar are producing lifesaving medical grade oxygen, which is the crucial need of the hour in many states. We have also taken urgent steps to bolster the nation’s capacity to swiftly transport medical oxygen. These efforts complement our other initiatives such as distributing free meals to the needy, supplying PPEs to frontline workers and setting up world class COVID-care facilities,” he mentioned.
