5. Single Piece Full Body PPE (Marshall) The first line of servicemen need to encounter mass of people even in short notice. This has motivated to design such a body cover which could be easy to wear and can cover full body. Now-a-days, many PPE gowns of different grades for application (level 1 to 4) are available for medical and research labs. These are maintained sterilized and applied as different components for covering the full body exposed to polluting and threatening particles suspended and adhered in environment. The available most of the PPE gowns are closed from front side and allows complete exposure of face area for which glasses and face masks are used that again unable to ensure the restricted entry of viral droplets. Even the sticking of face mask over nose is made to avoid entry, however, long time use causes irritation and inflammation over there. Moreover, putting on all these individual components take time to get ready for service and most of the times, on short notice or emergency. To counter these limitations, Dr Mahesh Kumar Sah, Department of Biotechnology, Dr B R Ambedkar NIT Jalandhar has designed and developed a Single Piece Full Body PPE (Marshall) for common use in this scenario. The designed PPE is single piece full body cover from head to toes with proper ventilation without direct exposure to viral particles suspended in environment (air, water, soil). The mask and screen are pre-installed as the part of cover. For proper ventilation, pores are kept at suitable places. The lower side of cover which goes up to toes is installed with anti-slip soles to provide friction while walking or running. Patent has been filed and the inventor with possible collaboration is working on improving the quality of design and product for wider applications. The material is washable and can be sterilized with standard methods before packaging and application. It takes lesser time and effort to wear and to respond on quick notice. Presently, the developed cover is with low manufacturing cost (₹ 500/-) for common application (Level-1) and can be replaced with standard materials for specific applications (Level 2-4).

6. Low-cost Face Mask developed Professor A Mukhopadhyay and Professor V Midha, Department of Textile technology have developed low-cost face mask to reduce the risk of droplet infection. Facemasks help in stopping large particle droplets, splashes, sprays or splatter, aerosol that may contain germs (viruses and bacteria) from reaching the wearer's mouth and nose and may help to prevent transmission. Further, work on cost-effective Surgical Gowns/PPE for health care workers is underway. 7. Shoe Sanitization Facility developed It is learnt from several studies that shoe sole acted as major source of corona virus transmission in Italy during COVID-19 outbreak. In an effort to maintain hygiene and reduce the risk of possible virus contamination from shoe sole, a shoe sanitization facility has been created that can disinfect shoe sole of a visitor entering into the campus in less than 30 seconds. A solution of 1% Sodium Hypochlorite was used to disinfect the shoe sole.

8. Food for the needy people A group of Faculty led by the worthy Director of the Institute, Dr Lalit K Awasthi, voluntarily arranged food for labourers living in the nearby villages around the campus and for the safai karamchari's and other persons on the campus. These daily wage workers were without work and money due to imposition of curfew in wake of COVID-19 outbreak. Daily upto 200 food packets were distributed regularly since March 22 to May 17, 2020.

9. Contribution to PM Cares Fund On behalf of faculty and staff of NIT Jalandhar, ₹ 12.83 Lacs has been contributed in PM CARES Fund.
