Sahyadri Dreamers Makerspace manufactures Face Shields for Doctors and all those fighting against CoViD -19 in the frontline
Sahyadri has always been a contributor to the society especially when in such crisis situations. As the world is tormented by the deadly CoronaVirus and many are fighting in the frontline against the virus like - the doctors, police, healthcare workers, sanitation workers and others who work tirelessly to defeat this pandemic. They are at high risk of getting infected themselves. Therefore, to protect these brave warriors, Sahyadri Dreamers Makerspace with the support of Sahyadri DTLabz has designed and manufactured custom-made face shields which will help the Corona warriors protect themselves from getting infected.
More than 900 face shields have been distributed as of now and many more are still in production. These masks are provided to the warriors for free so that they do not face any lack of protective gears. The masks are supplied to Father Muller Hospital Kankanady, District Wenlock Hospital CoVID-19 Detection Centre, Primary Health Centre, Unity Hospital, Alva’s Hospital, Moodbidri; Moodbidri Govt. Hospital; Commissionerate of Police, Mangaluru; Beedi Workers Welfare Fund Dispensary and Department of Labour Welfare, Ministry of Labor Welfare, Padil, Mangaluru.
The aim is to provide face shields to all the frontline warriors at the earliest possible. Sahyadri applauds the efforts of all the students and their mentors who are working behind the scenes to help in making this noble work possible and also a heartfelt thanks to all the generous donors.

First year engineering student walks 4 kms every day to attend Online class
When one is fired up with sheer determination and true passion to achieve the set goals, no obstacle can stop them. Mr. Dashwanth K. D (First Year Engineering Student), a native of Kattehalli , Thirthahalli is unable to get the required network connectivity at his home and walks 4 kms away from his residence (Kallahaklu to Bejjavalli) every day in search of net connectivity and sit under a tree to attend the class. Such determination and grit is rarely seen in the students now-a–days. Mr Dashwanth is indeed a good example for a student who is fuelled by passion to learn and reach his goals no matter what the obstacles with no excuses stopping him.
Sahyadri believes that each and every student should consider him as an example for pure dedication and be motivated towards their studies.
