BONGAIGAON, MAY 16, 2024 (TBB BUREAU): NTPC Bongaigaon has launched its Swachhata Pakhwada initiative with fervor, rallying over 150 members to champion the cause of cleanliness and environmental awareness. Running from May 16 to May 31, 2024, this fortnight-long campaign is poised to make a significant impact by involving employees, stakeholders, and the wider community in various activities promoting cleanliness and sustainable practices.
The inauguration of Swachhata Pakhwada witnessed a stirring pledge ceremony led by Induri S Reddy, GM (O&M), and Asutosh Biswas, GM (Operation), rallying employees to commit to upholding cleanliness standards and fostering a cleaner environment. This resolute commitment highlights NTPC Bongaigaon’s unwavering dedication to the Swachh Bharat Mission and environmental stewardship.
Over the course of the Pakhwada, NTPC Bongaigaon will orchestrate a series of initiatives, including community awareness programs on eco-friendly practices, discouragement of plastic usage, waste management drives, plantation activities, and street plays (Nukkad Natak) in association with Central Institute of Technology, Kokrajhar. These endeavors aim not only to instill a sense of responsibility but also to educate and inspire sustainable actions within the community.
Commenting on the initiative, Reddy emphasized, “Swachhata Pakhwada embodies NTPC Bongaigaon’s commitment to promoting a cleaner, greener society. By harnessing the collective efforts of our employees and the wider community, we aspire to drive lasting change and contribute meaningfully to the Swachh Bharat Mission.”
Highlighting the significance of youth involvement, school children and teachers from esteemed institutions like Notre Dame Academy and Ankur Tiny Tots have actively joined hands in promoting cleanliness and environmental consciousness. The display of selfie boards and placards at various locations of the plant serves as a visual reminder of the collective commitment towards a clean and green society.
NTPC Bongaigaon’s commitment to sustainability extends beyond the Pakhwada, with regular cleanliness inspections scheduled across all divisions and surrounding areas to uphold hygiene standards. Additionally, voluntary clean-up activities (Shramdan) and distribution drives for dustbins will be organized to actively engage the community in maintaining a clean and hygienic environment.
Swachhata Pakhwada serves as a testament to NTPC Bongaigaon’s proactive stance towards environmental conservation and community welfare. Through concerted efforts and collective participation, the organization is poised to make a tangible impact in its pursuit of a Swachh Bharat.
