PM CARES

Trivitron Healthcare told HuffPost India that they began designing the ventilator and procuring the components only after they were given the contract.
Internal note of the corporate affairs ministry describes the PMNRF as a central government fund eligible to receive CSR funds, contradicting the PMNRFs stand in Delhi High Court that it is a private fund.
PM Narendra Modi's official advisor Bhaskar Khulbe wrote to the Corporate Affairs ministry, prompting the latter to amend the Companies Act in order to bring the PM CARES Fund at par with other Central government funds and enable it to receive CSR money, according to documents accessed under the RTI Act.
The allegations come as doctors in two hospitals in Mumbai have refused to use AgVa ventilators.
Congress on Sunday alleged that Chinese firms were contributing to the PM Cares Fund and asked why it was accepting such donations when India and China have been engaged in a tense border standoff in Ladakh.
Govt experts have said that AgVa's ventilators arent a replacement for high-end devices in tertiary care ICUs and should only be used with a backup ventilator in place.
According to reports, PM-CARES collected Rs 6,500 crore within a week of its existence. Forty-five days later, the trust has not revealed how much money the fund has collected in total.
The Modi government has been at pains to emphasise the virtues of PM-CARES over PMNRF, but both funds fail the transparency test in one important way.
