BONGAIGAON, MARCH 30, 2026

NTPC Bongaigaon observed World Water Day with a series of impactful initiatives aimed at fostering environmental sustainability and promoting responsible water conservation across its township and surrounding communities.

The programme commenced with Arnab Maitra, Head of Project, NTPC Bongaigaon, administering the World Water Day pledge in the presence of Anurag Gupta, GM (O&M), Kumar Vikram, AGM (EMG & BE), along with Heads of Departments, representatives of unions and associations, employees and residents. The pledge reinforced the importance of responsible water usage and underscored a shared commitment towards conserving this vital resource. The pledge ceremony was followed by a tree plantation drive within the NTPC Bongaigaon township, led by Arnab Maitra and Anurag Gupta, with enthusiastic participation from employees, HODs and township residents, symbolising a collective step towards environmental stewardship and sustainability.

As part of its outreach initiatives, a drawing competition was organised on 19th March 2026 at Salakati ME Government School to sensitise school children about the importance of water conservation and environmental protection. On the same day, a quiz competition for employees was also conducted, encouraging meaningful engagement and awareness on water-related themes.

Further strengthening the spirit of participation, a handmade poster competition was organised on 20th March 2026 for two categories — spouses and children of employees — providing a creative platform to express ideas and perspectives on water conservation.

Speaking on the occasion, Maitra emphasised the importance of collective responsibility in conserving water resources and highlighted that sustainable practices at both individual and organisational levels are essential for ensuring a secure future. He also reiterated NTPC’s continued focus on environmental sustainability and community awareness.

The series of activities reflects NTPC Bongaigaon’s sustained commitment to promoting environmental consciousness, encouraging community participation, and advancing sustainable practices as part of its broader vision of responsible nation-building.
