The programme was organized jointly by Dugda Coal Washery of BCCL and the Bokaro District Administration. Bokaro Deputy Commissioner A.N. Jha inaugurated the distribution event and handed over motorized e-tricycles to 10 specially-abled beneficiaries from the district.

Senior officials present on the occasion included BCCL General Manager (Washery) Md. Sohail Iqbal, Advisor (Land) N.K. Agarwal, members of the BCCL CSR team, and officers and staff of the Bokaro District Administration.

Addressing the gathering, Deputy Commissioner A.N. Jha lauded BCCL’s sustained CSR outreach, stating that the company’s continued contribution towards the welfare of different sections of society reflects its commitment to balanced and humane development. He noted that bringing underprivileged and marginalized citizens into the mainstream is a collective responsibility of both administration and institutions, and such initiatives play a crucial role in boosting confidence and self-reliance among beneficiaries.

BCCL has been undertaking a wide range of CSR interventions in education, healthcare, sanitation, environmental protection, skill development and community welfare in line with statutory CSR mandates.

The distribution of motorized e-tricycles marks another important milestone in this direction, as it is expected to significantly enhance mobility for persons with disabilities, enabling easier access to daily needs, greater independence, and improved participation in social as well as economic life.

Through such targeted CSR initiatives, BCCL continues to strengthen its commitment towards social upliftment and inclusive growth in the coal belt region.

BCCL, a key subsidiary of Coal India Limited, has consistently been supporting educational infrastructure and community development in mining regions through its CSR interventions.

The project was formally inaugurated on Saturday in the presence of school Principal Shailendra Sharma, officials from BCCL’s CSR Department, and representatives associated with the implementing agency.

During the inaugural programme, students were introduced to the growing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education and everyday life. Speakers explained the practical applications of AI, its academic benefits, future career relevance, and the precautions needed for its responsible use. Students were encouraged to use AI as a positive learning tool to strengthen knowledge, improve analytical abilities, and prepare for emerging technological challenges.

Under the initiative, students of Class VI and above will receive structured training in new-age digital technologies and technical skills through AI-enabled software platforms. The software will continuously monitor each student’s learning progress, conduct periodic assessments, identify weak areas, and provide customised recommendations including videos, study material, and remedial content.

This AI-driven system is expected to ensure a personalised learning experience, enabling students to improve at their own pace with targeted academic support.

The project has been designed as a three-year intervention and is expected to benefit nearly 200 students every year. Besides strengthening classroom learning, the programme aims to enhance students’ digital literacy, logical reasoning, problem-solving ability, and technical competence.

Officials said the initiative reflects BCCL’s commitment to bridging the digital divide in its command areas and providing modern educational opportunities to children from local communities.

With this intervention, BCCL has taken an important step towards fostering innovation-led education and creating a future-ready student ecosystem in Dhanbad.
