A state-run pharmaceutical conglomerate has produced 83,000 litres of sanitizer to distribute in government and aided schools in Kerala.

As educational institutions reopened in compliance with the COVID-19 protocol last week, the Kerala State Drugs and Pharmaceuticals manufactured adequate stock of sanitizer to be distributed in 4,402 schools in government and aided sectors across the state, Industries Minister E P Jayarajan mentioned in Thiruvananthapuram.

Classes for the 10th and 12th standards in government, aided and private sector schools reopened on the New Year day after nine months. The state-run company was distributing the disinfectant liquid based on the order placed by the Department of Public Instructions (DPI). The KSDP had forayed into santizer making following the government directive in the wake of the spread of Coronavirus.
