We appreciate the donation of 50,000 doses of vaccines and I express my gratitude to them on behalf of the residents. Such initiatives are extremely useful since there is a steady demand for vaccines. We wish ACT Fibernet all the best and encourage people to benefit from this drive," said Shri. S. Suresh Kumar, Minister for Primary and Secondary Education, Labour and Sakala, Govt of Karnataka.

"We are dedicated to supporting the community and helping fight this life-threatening virus.

We hope to see more people coming forward and taking their shots," said Bala Malladi, Chief Executive Officer, Atria Convergence Technologies Ltd.
