Renewable energy major Greenko group has unlocked global supply chain network to airlift critical oxygen support systems to India.The first of the five dedicated cargo planes landed in Hyderabad today with 200 large medical grade oxygen concentrators with 10 liters per minute capacity to aid in India’s fight against the deadly second wave of infections.
KT Rama Rao, Telangana Industries Minister along with Chief Secretary Somesh Kumar, Greenko Co-Founders Anil Chalamalasetty and Mahesh Kolli were present at the arrival of the cargo flight. Anil Chalamalasetty said, “This is first of the five dedicated cargo planes we are bringing in through the strong global supply chains that we have set-up in the last two weeks. Within the next 5 days, four more dedicated aircrafts will land in Hyderabad, Bengaluru and New Delhi with 1,000 such large medical grade oxygen concentrators."
"This will aid our medical teams in tier 2 and tier 3 cities for pre-ICU support and post-ICU stabilisation of patients and help combat the second wave of CoviD that has put severe strain on our healthcare infrastructure and support systems. We will continue our work to help the country and aid the efforts to fight the pandemic and have India again breathe freely.” Rama Rao thanked Greenko founders for their effort, and said, “Our first priority is to provide relief to the patients and avert this oxygen crisis as prudently and judiciously as we can. We are indeed grateful to the Greenko group for helping us in these efforts.”
Additionally, 1000 large oxygen cylinders of 50 liters capacity each are in transit from West Asia to be delivered in the coming week to India. These systems will be deployed as stationary units in existing hospitals, healthcare units and mobile units to cater to the additional case load of oxygen deprived patients. “As a country, we have been fortunate to receive critical monetary and non-monetary support as aid / donations, but we need to focus on establishing strong robust supply chains for mission critical equipment and supplies locally and globally. These supply chains that we at Greenko Group have established are capable of delivering 5,000 plus concentrators and cylinders continually which will hopefully help India in fighting the pandemic and breathe freely again,” Anil Chalamalasetty said.
Our prime objectives to provide access to quality education in government managed schools located in the neighbourhood communities. This is achieved through a meaningful and fruitful dialogue with the Government run schools to bring about sustainable awareness & improvement among students. For the year 2017-2018, we have provided the school authorities with equipment for science/computer labs, and other basic infrastructure items. About 1058 children from various schools have benefited from our educational initiatives and school support, that are located around our Greenko projects and plants. Key areas of intervention include
1) Appointment of school teachers for the upper primary school.
2) Providing infrastructure like benches, printers and inverter etc.
Community skill development program - Recognizing the need and urgency, National Institute of Solar Energy(NISE) has launched Suryamitra Skill Development Program in collaboration with State Nodal Agencies at various locations across India.

We initiate rural development programs in consultation and coordination with local panchayats. Based on the inputs received from the local stakeholders we design our interventions for rural development projects. After assessing the various short term and long term needs of the local communities, such as:
1. Clean drinking water
2. Availability of infrastructure like roads, street lighting, sanitation facilities etc.
The nature of our operations demands a strong focus on the health and safety of our employees. We aim to regularly enhance our internal safety systems through functional & behavioural training and safety awareness programs, to sensitize our employees about the criticality of safety measures. We have implemented an effective Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) governance by focusing on the core areas as described below.
1. We train our employees/workers regularly to enrich safety awareness and ensure safe working environment at all work locations.
2. We conduct relevant training programs for the executives to enhance their knowledge and skills.
3. We have made a list of Training programs to be conducted in a Calendar Year and provided relevant "Training Modules" to the Executives so as to enable them to organize the training programs in an effective manner.
4. In addition to this, we have circulated soft copies of "Animated Safety Videos" to site teams to be used as resources for the training sessions. Some of our regular in-house training programs are on:
a. GIMS policy, Procedures, code of conduct, EHS Orientation & Toolbox talks.b. Behaviour Based Safety
c. Office Safety & Ergonomic Safety
d. Road Safety (Two / Four-Wheeler)
e. Electrical safety
f. ERP Heat Stress Management
g. Fire Safety & Housekeeping
h. Awareness on First Aid Treatment
i. EHS Aspects and Impacts
j. Conservation of Resources
