Transformative Partnership: Bongaigaon NTPC Boosts Kokrajhar Jail’s Future with Vital Infrastructure Development
The National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) Bongaigaon plant in Assam has entered into a strategic partnership with local authorities to boost infrastructure within Kokrajhar district jail. As part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) efforts, NTPC Bongaigaon inked a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) with the Kokrajhar district administration and the Public Works Department (PWD) for the construction of a modern kitchen and a multi-purpose hall at the jail.
This initiative, aimed at enhancing the quality of life for inmates and aiding in their rehabilitation, involves an investment of over Rs 32.82 lakh by NTPC Bongaigaon. The project is set to improve facilities by ensuring hygienic food preparation and offering a space for skill development programs, vocational training, and other rehabilitation activities.
The development is expected to be completed within 16 months, with the Kokrajhar district administration and PWD overseeing execution and monitoring. The commitment signifies NTPC’s dedication to social responsibility and community development, promising better living conditions for inmates and opportunities for their self-improvement.
The MoA was ratified by key officials, including Onkar Nath, AGM (HR) at NTPC, Ajit Kumar Narzary, Executive Engineer of PWD-Kokrajhar and Chirang District Territorial Division, and Kabita Deka, Additional District Commissioner of Kokrajhar. The formal exchange of the agreement took place between Masanda M Pertin, Kokrajhar District Commissioner, and Arnab Maitra, Business Unit Head of NTPC Bongaigaon.
This collaborative effort marks a significant step in improving prison infrastructure and underscores the vital role of corporate entities in supporting local communities. The project not only addresses immediate infrastructural needs but also lays the groundwork for long-term inmate rehabilitation and skill development, enhancing prospects for reintegration into society.
