Over the past two years, the team has made notable progress, emerging as a symbol of local football talent nurtured under NTPC’s guidance.
Speaking on the occasion, Maitra lauded the hard work and dedication of the players and expressed confidence in their upcoming performances in the Super Division matches. He reiterated NTPC’s enduring commitment to youth empowerment through sports and other structured community-building initiatives.
The event reflects NTPC Bongaigaon’s broader CSR focus on youth development, promotion of sports, and fostering social inclusion. By equipping local athletes and offering them a platform to grow, NTPC is encouraging a healthy lifestyle, regional pride, and stronger social cohesion.
The players extended heartfelt gratitude to NTPC Bongaigaon for its continued support and encouragement, which they said has been crucial to their personal and professional development.
The ceremony was also attended by Amit K. Asthana, AGM (HR); Souvik Sen, General Secretary, Sports Council; Ajay Ram Baro, General Secretary, NTPC Bongaigaon Employees Union; Pinchu Daimary, President, Employees Union, and officials from the HR Department.
Through initiatives like these, NTPC Bongaigaon continues to leverage sports as a transformative tool for community upliftment and youth empowerment, reinforcing its role as a responsible and socially committed corporate citizen.
