The agreement was signed on February 2 as part of NTPC’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative in Assam. The MoA was executed by Amit Kumar Asthana, AGM (HR), on behalf of NTPC Bongaigaon, and Awanish Tripathi, President, Cosmic Foundation.

The signing ceremony was held in the presence of Arindam Sinha, Regional Executive Director (Eastern Region-II & Southern Region), NTPC Limited; Arnab Maitra, Head of Project, NTPC Bongaigaon; and Anurag Gupta, GM (O&M), NTPC Bongaigaon.

Under the project, 10 solar-powered RO drinking water systems will be installed at identified public locations across Guwahati at a total cost of ₹43 lakh. Each unit will be equipped with a 1200 Wp MNRE-approved solar module (IP66, ROHS and CE compliant, ISO 14001:2015 certified) along with a 500-litre storage tank, ensuring reliable access to safe drinking water through clean and sustainable energy.

Speaking on the occasion, Arindam Sinha reaffirmed NTPC’s commitment to community welfare and sustainable development, highlighting that access to safe drinking water remains a critical public health priority and a core element of responsible corporate citizenship.

Awanish Tripathi expressed gratitude for the partnership and assured timely execution of the project, along with quality installation and long-term maintenance of the systems.

The initiative aligns with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG)-6 – Clean Water and Sanitation, integrating renewable energy with essential social infrastructure. The project is expected to generate sustained social impact by improving public health outcomes while promoting environmentally responsible development in the region.

The ₹33 lakh project will provide preventive and diagnostic cancer care to nearly 81,000 people across multiple villages, ensuring last-mile outreach through four Block Primary Health Centres (BPHCs) and around 80 Health and Wellness Centres (HWCs). The initiative focuses on early detection of oral, breast, and cervical cancers, along with awareness programmes and home-based palliative care.

The MoA was signed by Amit Asthana, AGM (HR), NTPC Bongaigaon, and Dr. Major General J. P. Prasad, COO, ACCF, in the presence of Arnab Maitra, Head of Project, NTPC Bongaigaon, who lauded ACCF’s work in promoting cancer prevention and treatment across Assam.

This year-long project, funded for the second consecutive year, will also link diagnosed patients with government health schemes for cashless or reimbursable treatment, thereby reducing financial stress on families.

The initiative aligns with Schedule VII (i) of the Companies Act, 2013, and contributes to SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being) and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals), reinforcing NTPC’s commitment to sustainable community development.

It is noteworthy that the Assam Cancer Care Foundation—a joint venture between the Government of Assam and Tata Trusts—has been pioneering a three-tier cancer grid model since 2017 to provide standardized, affordable, and accessible cancer care across the state.
