As the state deals with the paucity of plasma donors, food and other basic essentials during the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic, Rana Mukherjee from Bilaspur is doing his bit. He helps provide food, oxygen and monetary donations to patients.

Rana Mukherjee, an engineer from Korba in Chattisgarh, has not just been providing patients with meals, but is constantly working towards connecting donors and providing those in need with providing oxygen cylinders to those in need. Mukherjee and his friends have also cremated bodies when needed.

“We cremated unidentified bodies during the second wave. They had been lying in the hospital unattended,” says Mukherjee.

“When the pandemic began in 2020, I interacted with migrants from all around India and their losses and suffering motivated me to help. We have a list of plasma donors and collaborate with multiple home chefs to provide two meals to over 220 people everyday. We constantly receive monetary donations from our acquaintances and the families in Chhattisgarh, which has helped us serve people during these uncertain times,” says Rana Mukherjee
