NTPC Northern Region Headquarters in Lucknow is actively observing Swachhta Pakhwada 2025 from May 16 to 31, under the theme “Swachhta is Everyone’s Business”, in alignment with the Government of India’s initiative to promote cleanliness and hygiene across the nation.

As part of the fortnight-long campaign, a variety of activities aimed at fostering cleanliness and raising environmental awareness are being conducted. On May 26, a major cleanliness drive was organized under the leadership of N.S. Rao, Regional Executive Director (North), in the presence of Samiran Sinha Ray, Regional Head of HR, along with Heads of Departments, senior officials, and employees.

Senior officials and employees actively participated in the drive, using broomsticks and dustbins to clean the office campus and collect dry waste — a clear demonstration of their commitment to the Swachhta mission.

Earlier in the fortnight, several engaging events were held, including a painting competition for employees’ children, an essay competition for housewives, and a quiz on the Swachhta Abhiyan for employees, all of which witnessed enthusiastic participation.

The celebrations will continue through the rest of the fortnight with more activities, such as additional cleanliness drives, distribution of dustbins in schools, awareness sessions on waste management, street plays (nukkad nataks) to spread the message of cleanliness, and a plantation drive to promote a greener environment.
