The MoU was signed at BCCL’s Coal Bhawan Headquarters in line with the guidance of the Ministry of Coal and the CSR guidelines of Coal India Limited. The agreement was signed on behalf of BCCL by Surendra Bhushan, Head of Department (CSR), in the presence of officials from the BCCL CSR team and representatives of Pradaan Foundation.

As part of the collaboration, Pradaan Foundation, with support from BCCL, will establish a free Kanwaria Medical Service Camp along the Sultanganj–Deoghar pilgrimage route throughout the duration of the Shravani Mela. The camp will provide first aid, emergency medical assistance, and other essential healthcare services to devotees undertaking the arduous foot journey to the holy shrine.

The Shravani Mela is one of India’s largest annual religious gatherings, attracting millions of devotees from across the country and abroad. Pilgrims carry holy Ganga water from Sultanganj to the Baidyanath Dham temple in Deoghar, covering the distance on foot to offer Jalabhishek to Lord Shiva. The massive influx of devotees makes access to timely medical care a critical requirement during the pilgrimage.

BCCL’s initiative aims to ensure that Kanwariyas receive prompt medical attention and basic healthcare support, enhancing their safety and well-being during the month-long spiritual journey.

The company has been actively implementing various public welfare initiatives under its CSR programme, and this latest effort reflects its continued commitment to community service. By extending free medical facilities during one of the country’s largest religious events, BCCL seeks to combine social responsibility with humanitarian service while supporting an important cultural and spiritual tradition.

The camp aimed to raise awareness about preventive healthcare, encourage regular health check-ups, and inspire students to adopt healthy lifestyle practices from an early age.

A team of medical experts from Dugdha Coal Washery conducted comprehensive health examinations, including height, weight, vision, and dental health screenings. Students also received health counselling wherever required, ensuring regular monitoring of their physical growth and overall well-being.

The initiative was organized in compliance with the directions of BCCL Chairman-cum-Managing Director Manoj Kumar Agarwal, who, during his visit to Dugdha Coal Washery with the company’s Board of Directors last month, had instructed Saraswati Vidya Mandir, Dugdha, to organize regular health check-up camps for students.

With the motto “Let’s Build a Healthy Future Together!”, BCCL continues to prioritize healthcare, education, and the social development of communities surrounding its mining operations. Such health camps play an important role in creating health awareness among students, facilitating early detection of potential health issues, and providing timely medical guidance.

The camp was led by Dr. Mukesh Kumar, Deputy Medical Surgeon, Dugdha Coal Washery. Project Officer Amit Kumar, along with teachers of Saraswati Vidya Mandir and other school staff members, actively participated in ensuring the successful conduct of the programme.
