TP Central Odisha Distribution Limited (TPCODL) celebrated the 77th Republic Day with great patriotic fervour, reaffirming its commitment to nation-building, consumer empowerment and sustainable development. The national flag was ceremoniously hoisted by Arvind Singh, Chief Executive Officer, TPCODL, at the corporate office in the presence of senior officials and employees, creating an atmosphere of pride, unity and collective purpose.

The celebration went beyond ceremonial observance, reflecting TPCODL’s vision of aligning national values with progressive action on the ground. A key highlight of the occasion was the felicitation of 30 ‘Green Champions’ — environment-conscious consumers who have adopted rooftop solar solutions under the PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana through the Utility-Led Aggregation (ULA) model. These consumers, each having installed 1 kW rooftop solar systems, have successfully availed government subsidies and achieved significant reductions in their electricity bills, demonstrating the tangible benefits of clean energy adoption.

By choosing renewable power, these Green Champions have emerged as role models for sustainable living, inspiring their communities to actively participate in environmental protection and energy self-reliance. The honoured consumers included five representatives from each operational circle and five from the corporate office, symbolising widespread participation across Central Odisha in India’s clean energy movement.

Addressing the gathering, TPCODL CEO Arvind Singh underscored the role of citizens in shaping a greener future. He said that the transition to clean energy begins with informed and responsible choices, and the Green Champions exemplify how rooftop solar adoption under the PM Surya Ghar Yojana not only benefits households financially but also strengthens India’s national clean energy goals. He reiterated TPCODL’s commitment to enabling and encouraging sustainable initiatives across Central Odisha through awareness, facilitation and consumer-centric solutions.

The Republic Day celebration served as a reminder of the constitutional ideals of responsibility and collective progress, while highlighting TPCODL’s ongoing efforts to promote green energy adoption, empower consumers and support India’s journey towards a sustainable, resilient and energy-secure future.
