Sadhguru offers Isha Vidhya campuses as Covid care centers to TN Govt.

Isha Vidhya schools in Coimbatore, Erode, Salem, Nagercoil, Thoothukudi, Villupuram, Cuddalore and Dharmapuri districts have been offered as Covid care centers by Sadhguru.


Coimbatore: Sending out a message of solidarity to the Government of Tamil Nadu, Sadhguru, Founder of Isha Foundation in Coimbatore has offered the premises of Isha Vidhya schools to the local administrations to be used as Covid care

centers.

Isha Vidhya schools are located in Coimbatore, Erode, Salem, Nagercoil, Thoothukudi, Villupuram, Cuddalore and Dharmapuri districts.

In a post on his Twitter handle, Sadhguru tweeted, “We are offering premises of #IshaVidhya schools to the Tamil Nadu Government as #COVID care centers with a bed capacity of 990. I appeal to the community to unite in strengthening the hands of the administration to overcome this challenge.”

Sadhguru's gesture has come at a time when Tamil Nadu is reeling under a second onslaught of the Covid-19 virus. Last year, Sadhguru contributed Rs. 11.54 crore to Isha’s community outreach efforts in villages around the Yoga Center in Thondamuthur. The funds were raised through an online auction of three of his paintings. Isha volunteers used the proceeds from the auction to provide food and an immunity booster drink every day to thousands of people to protect them from starvation, due to loss of livelihoods during the lockdown.

Isha volunteers continue to provide Nilavembu Kasayam every day in villages, now famously dubbed as 'Corona Tea' by the villagers. The bitter herbal concoction has gained a huge following with even children gulping it down gratefully and several people testifying to its positive impact on their chronic health conditions besides strengthening the immune system.

Isha also supported the local administration with medical infrastructure and supplies including distribution of face shields, sanitizers and PPE kits to frontline workers and equipping local primary care centers with necessary infrastructure.
