Torrent Group on Monday pledged Rs 100 crore donation, including a contribution of Rs 50 crore to PM CARES Fund, to fight spread of COVID-19 pandemic.
In a statement, Torrent said the outbreak of coronavirus has not only cast enormous financial and administrative burden on the government, but has also very badly affected the poorer sections of society.
"The poor are in need of urgent help and relief," it said. "It is indeed very comforting that the government under the able leadership of Narendra Modi is doing its best for the people of the country and is being globally cited as a shining example of how dedicated and decisive leadership is paramount for control of the pandemic and caring of the vulnerable sections of the society."
