The distribution programme was graced by Kabita Deka, ACS, Additional District Commissioner, Kokrajhar; Kasturi Maitra, President, Bardwi Shikla Ladies Club; Dr. Subung Basumatary, Registrar, Bodoland University; and Debaleena Das, DGM (HR), NTPC Bongaigaon, along with officials from the CSR team.

Dignitaries at the event highlighted that the installation of sanitary napkin incinerators will ensure safe, hygienic, and eco-friendly disposal of menstrual waste. They emphasized that such interventions not only address menstrual hygiene challenges but also play a crucial role in breaking taboos, fostering awareness, and empowering students to pursue education with confidence and dignity.
This initiative underlines NTPC Bongaigaon’s sustained focus on CSR projects in health and education across the Bodoland Territorial Region, further strengthening its partnership with the District Administration to promote inclusive and sustainable development.
