The Diksha Mahila Mandal presented the group with a cash award of ₹11,000 in recognition of their outstanding performance.

In his address, Manoj Kumar Agarwal said that the Shravani Mela is a grand festival of faith, service, and devotion.

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.

He further expressed confidence that the trained teachers would effectively utilise the knowledge and practical skills gained during the programme to build a brighter and more informed future for students.

The ceremony commenced with a formal welcome of guests, ceremonial lighting of the lamp and Saraswati Vandana, setting a culturally vibrant tone for the event.
