Football—often described as the heartbeat of Bodoland and the North East—found new champions this year as NTPC FC showcased exceptional skill, teamwork, and determination throughout the tournament.

Formed in 2014 by football enthusiasts among NTPC Bongaigaon employees, NTPC FC has grown from a small in-house sporting group into a robust platform that nurtures rural football talent across Salakati, Kokrajhar, and adjoining areas. Through its CSR and Sports Council-led initiatives, NTPC Bongaigaon has been playing a pivotal role in promoting grassroots sports and empowering local youth through structured sporting opportunities.

The 2025 league, which commenced on June 13 and concluded recently, witnessed NTPC FC remain unbeaten throughout the season. The team played nine matches—winning seven and drawing two—accumulating 23 points, a clear lead over the runners-up, and securing promotion to the Super Division League.

Two rising stars, Dinti Hazowary and Dhananjay Brahma, emerged as the league’s top scorers with eight goals each—testament to the strong mentoring and support ecosystem created by NTPC’s sustained engagement in community sports. Recognizing the importance of professional training, the NTPC Bongaigaon Sports Council, in coordination with KDSA, appointed a dedicated coach to further refine the team’s skills and strategies.

This unique blend of structured coaching and the raw energy of rural talent has transformed NTPC FC into a disciplined, high-performing squad representing both corporate and community pride.

In a proud moment for the NTPC family, the Champion Trophy was presented to Arnab Maitra, Head of Project, NTPC Bongaigaon, who lauded the team’s commitment, discipline, and inspiring journey “from grassroots to glory.” Present on the occasion were Shri Amit Kumar Asthana, Head of HR, along with representatives from the NTPC Sports Council, Union and Association members of the station, who collectively congratulated the players for bringing laurels to NTPC and the local community.
