It has been prepared by researchers from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi and Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO). The weight of PPEs present in the market is around 400 to 500 grams.

If the water also pours in it, it will spill. It is capable of rescuing doctors and health workers from Kovid-19. It weighs 300 grams, which is much less than the PPE currently available in the market.

PPE kits are also available around the same price in the market, but our PPE kits have many features. Prof. SM Ishtiaq told that I have been doing research for many years in the safety equipment made for infection prevention. We wanted to research the PPE kit dedicated to the country and make it available in the market directly. This PPE kit has been designed in collaboration with Kanpur company for three to four months. The company has been manufacturing products based on textile technology for 38 years. If other states also demand it, then it will also be made available to them.
