Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday directed the officials to deploy advanced technology such as Internet of Things (IoT) to track the performance and functioning of oxygen plants at a local and national level. Reviewing the progress of oxygen supply augmentation and availability across the country, he was apprised about a pilot being done using IoT for monitoring the performance of the oxygen plants.

While briefing the Prime Minister about the progress on installation of PSA Oxygen plants across the country, the officials said that more than 1500 PSA Oxygen plants are coming up across the nation, IBNS reported. 

Modi also asked officials to ensure the proper training of hospital staff for the operation and maintenance of these oxygen plants and to ensure that each district must have trained personnel available.
The officials informed him that a training module has been prepared by experts and they are targeting the training of around 8000 people across the country. (SAM)
