Elaborating the experience of erecting the plant, Patel added, "We are running a Medical College and a research institute at Palanpur. In addition to this, our trust also manages the district civil hospital. Looking at this current situation our chairman has asked us what can be done, so we tell him the various option."
After getting his nod, the dairy's team of officers and engineers started to explore ways to set up a mini-oxygen plant, he added.
