Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar contributes to ‘Mission Oxygen’, an initiative to help India combat the oxygen crisis. Apart from Tendulkar, many public figures have contributed to help the country fight through the Covid pandemic.
Former cricketer and little master Sachin Tendulkar, on Thursday, informed that he has contributed to ‘Mission Oxygen’ in order to help the country combat the Covid-19 pandemic.
‘Mission Oxygen’ was launched by a bunch of young entrepreneurs with a view to raising funds to fulfill the oxygen requirement in hospitals across the country.
“The second wave of Covid has put our healthcare system under immense pressure. Providing oxygen for a large number of serious Covid patients is the need of the hour. It is heartening to see how people are rising to the occasion. A group of 250+ young entrepreneurs has launched Mission Oxygen to raise funds for importing oxygen concentrators and donating them to hospitals across the country”, said Sachin Tendulkar in a message shared via his official Twitter handle.
The message further quotes, “I’ve helped by contributing to the cause and hope that their effort soon reaches out to many more hospitals across India. Your support when I was playing was invaluable and helped me succeed. Today, we have to stand together behind everyone that is working hard to fight this pandemic.”

Well earlier, Master Blaster Tendulkar was tested positive for Covid-19. After getting discharged from the hospital he urged people to donate plasma to save lives.
In addition to this, several public figures have stepped ahead to contribute to help India tackle these daunting times.
Australian cricketer Pat Cummins, former cricketer Brett Lee; actors Sonu Sood, Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgan, etc, have been paying their contributions to help the country fight out the pandemic.
Although, concerns have arisen regarding the escalating cases in India. The union health ministry, on Thursday, issued guidelines for asymptomatic Covid-19 patients which also suggests people wear a triple-layer mask to keep themselves out of harm’s way.
