Scheduled from May 26 to June 20, 2026, the initiative brings together 50 girl students from nine schools across villages in the Kanti block. The programme is designed to empower young girls through education, personality development, confidence building, and holistic learning.

During the four-week residential workshop, participants will receive free academic coaching in Mathematics, English, Hindi, and Science. NTPC Kanti is also providing nutritious meals, accommodation, and all essential learning materials at no cost. To ensure well-rounded development, the programme features a wide range of extracurricular activities, including yoga, dance, music, painting, sports, and cultural engagement. Computer training sessions will further enhance digital literacy among the students.

Addressing the inaugural ceremony, Sanjib Kumar Suar said, “NTPC Kanti has always been committed to the development and upliftment of the surrounding community. Through the Girl Empowerment Mission, we aim not only to strengthen academic learning but also to instill confidence and essential life skills among young girls. Over the next four weeks, we will ensure their safety, learning, and overall well-being. I thank the parents, teachers, and school authorities for their trust and support.”

Maheshkumar Suthar, Additional General Manager (Human Resources), highlighted the broader impact of the initiative, stating, “This programme will transform not just the lives of these girls but also positively influence their families and society. After 28 days of learning and exposure, they will return with enhanced confidence, awareness, and self-belief.”

The inaugural event was attended by Sanjeet Kumar, Deputy General Manager (Human Resources), along with other senior officials of NTPC Kanti. In his vote of thanks, Shri Sanjeet Kumar expressed appreciation to the participating students, parents, teachers, and community members for their enthusiastic support in making the initiative meaningful and impactful.

The initiative was inaugurated at the National Commission for Women during the observance of Menstrual Hygiene Week. The Mobile Medical Unit was formally flagged off by Union Minister of State for Women and Child Development, Savitri Thakur.

The event was also attended by NCW Chairperson Vijaya K. Rahatkar, Additional Secretary B. Radhika Chakravarti, and NHPC Ladies Club President Shikha Gupta.

A Significant Step in Women’s Preventive Healthcare

With breast and cervical cancer emerging as major health challenges among women in India, NHPC’s initiative stands out for its technology-driven and accessible healthcare delivery model. Unlike conventional health camps, the MMU integrates advanced diagnostics with on-ground outreach.

The project is being implemented through SheWings Foundation, following the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between NHPC and the foundation on February 13, 2026.

Experts highlight that AI-based screening technologies enable faster and more accurate detection compared to traditional methods, significantly improving the chances of early diagnosis.

Advanced Diagnostic Facilities Onboard

The Mobile Medical Unit is equipped with cutting-edge diagnostic technologies, including:

• Thermalytix 360 Breast Screening System
• Pap Smear Testing
• Portable Colposcopy System
• Digital Health Support
• Menstrual Hygiene Awareness Programs

These services aim to provide accessible and affordable healthcare to women from economically weaker sections across Delhi-NCR and Faridabad.

Reaching 2,000 Women Every Month

According to NHPC, the MMU is expected to serve approximately 1,500 to 2,000 women every month, offering cancer screening and health awareness services at their doorstep.

What distinguishes this initiative from typical CSR healthcare projects is its integration of AI-based diagnostics with grassroots-level medical support, making it a scalable and impactful model in preventive healthcare.

A Model for Future CSR Initiatives

Healthcare experts believe that timely screening and awareness can significantly reduce mortality rates associated with breast and cervical cancer. NHPC’s initiative, therefore, sets a strong example for both public and private sector organizations.

If replicated widely, such technology-enabled healthcare programs can substantially enhance both the reach and quality of women’s healthcare services across the country.

With a focused approach toward uplifting communities in its operational areas, CCL has implemented impactful programs across healthcare, nutrition, education, livelihood, skill development, sports, environment, and animal welfare—bringing measurable and meaningful change to thousands of lives.

Healthcare & Nutrition: Reaching the Last Mile

CCL’s healthcare initiatives have significantly strengthened access to medical services in remote and underserved regions. A state-of-the-art centralized kitchen in Ramgarh, being developed in collaboration with the Akshaya Patra Foundation at a cost of ₹15.09 crore, will provide nutritious meals to 50,000 children daily, helping combat malnutrition.

Under the Government of India’s TB elimination campaign, the ‘Nikshay Mitra’ initiative has supported over 5,140 TB patients in Chatra and Latehar districts. The program integrates treatment with nutritional and caregiving support, ensuring holistic recovery.

The ‘Nanhi Sa Dil’ project, implemented with the Sri Sathya Sai Health and Education Trust, has screened over 39,000 children for congenital heart diseases, with 115 successful surgeries conducted so far—completely free of cost.

Additionally, ‘Project Aditi’ for sickle cell anemia screening and extensive health camps have further expanded healthcare outreach, benefiting over 1.5 lakh individuals. Mobile medical units under ‘Upchar Aapke Dwar’ are ensuring last-mile healthcare delivery in rural areas.

Education & Livelihood: Building Future Pathways

CCL is investing heavily in education and youth empowerment. A ₹65 crore ultra-modern library in Ranchi is under development and is expected to become a major hub for knowledge and innovation.

Through flagship initiatives like ‘CCL ke Lal’ and ‘CCL ki Ladli’, the company is supporting meritorious students from underprivileged backgrounds with quality coaching. Out of 308 students trained, 219 have secured admission to engineering institutions.

Livelihood programs in Hazaribagh are enabling nearly 5,000 families to achieve sustainable income growth through agriculture, livestock, and micro-enterprises. Skill development initiatives in partnership with ICA Foundation have already placed a majority of trained youth in jobs with salaries ranging from ₹12,000 to ₹33,000.

Sports Promotion: Nurturing National Talent

In collaboration with the Government of Jharkhand, CCL co-runs the JSSPS Sports Academy, which is shaping the future of young athletes. Currently, 234 trainees—96% from SC/ST/OBC communities—are receiving professional coaching across multiple disciplines.

The academy has produced over 2,100 medals, including 21 international accolades, and has been recognized with the prestigious National CSR Award.

Environment & Animal Welfare: Responsible Growth

CCL’s commitment to sustainability extends to environmental protection and animal welfare. Under the ‘Aashray’ project, a modern shelter for stray animals is nearing completion, complemented by a 24×7 animal ambulance service—reflecting a humane and responsible approach to development.

National Recognition and Leadership Vision

CCL’s CSR excellence has earned multiple national accolades, including the CSR Times Award 2025, India CSR Award 2025, and recognition at the CIL CSR Conclave.

Under the visionary leadership of Chairman-cum-Managing Director Nilendu Kumar Singh, the company continues to redefine development by integrating social responsibility with industrial progress.

CCL’s CSR journey stands as a testament to how a responsible public sector enterprise can drive large-scale social transformation while building a sustainable and inclusive future.
