PM Modi's Central Vista project, which is being constructed in Delhi costs about Rs 20,000 crore. To make sure we got the magnitude of that correctly, we imagined just how much of everything else could be done with the same amount of money. FYI, the Central Vista has also been declared an essential service so its construction can continue. 

A little bit of a warning though, these numbers are subjective and are only shown here for representational purposes. The actual numbers could vary vastly. 

1. Purchase 12,50,000 10 LPM oxygen concentrators (without the current inflation brought upon by a rise in demand).

2. Purchase 13,33,33,333 oxygen cylinders at their normal price.
