In a significant step towards promoting grassroots football and nurturing
young sporting talent, NTPC Bongaigaon, in association with the Sports Council,
distributed sports kits to the Under-13 boys of Power Warriors FC, a team
sponsored by NTPC Bongaigaon for participation in the Kokrajhar District Sports
Association (KDSA) Football League 2026 under its Corporate Social
Responsibility (CSR) initiative. The sports kits were distributed by Shri Arnab
Maitra, Head of Project, NTPC Bongaigaon, in the presence of Shri Amit Kumar
Asthana, Head of HR, NTPC Bongaigaon, officials of the Sports Council, members
of the HR Department, coaches and the young footballers.
The team’s participation marks a special milestone, as it is the
first-ever Under-13 football team supported by NTPC Bongaigaon to compete in
the prestigious KDSA Football League. The initiative reflects NTPC Bongaigaon’s
unwavering commitment to promoting sports, fostering youth development and
creating meaningful opportunities for aspiring footballers from the region to
showcase their talent on a competitive platform.
A notable feature of the team is that five players are wards of NTPC
Bongaigaon employees, who will represent the station for the first time in an
Under-13 KDSA League competition. Their participation highlights the growing
sporting culture within the NTPC township and underscores the encouragement
extended to children to pursue excellence in sports alongside academics.
Through such initiatives, NTPC Bongaigaon continues to strengthen its efforts
towards holistic community development while inspiring the next generation of
sporting talent.
