In this regard, Pankaj Kumar Gupta, Head of Project, NTPC Kanti, has written to the District Magistrate, Muzaffarpur, requesting execution of the proposed works through the concerned department of the Bihar Government. NTPC Kanti has earmarked a CSR budget of ₹1 crore for FY 2026-27 for the initiative.

The proposed Chhath Ghat development works will be undertaken at seven locations:

1. Birpur Pokhar
2. Sain Pokhar
3. Maisaha Pokhar
4. Panapur Kariyat Thana Pokhar
5. Sirsia Math Pokhar
6. Damodarpur Ganga Ram Pokhar
7. Rani Pokhar

The development of these Chhath Ghats will provide residents, particularly those from surrounding and Project Affected Villages (PAVs), with safer and more convenient facilities for observing Chhath Puja and other community activities.

The initiative assumes significance ahead of the upcoming Chhath festival, when these water bodies witness large gatherings of devotees. The proposed infrastructure is expected to facilitate safer and more organised celebrations for the local community.

NTPC Kanti has been undertaking various CSR and community development initiatives aimed at improving the quality of life and supporting the socio-economic development of communities around its project area. The development of Chhath Ghats is another step towards strengthening its commitment to community welfare and inclusive development.

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.
