Reinforcing its
commitment to community safety and preparedness, Vedanta Aluminium, Jharsuguda conducted
a comprehensive fire safety awareness programme along with a mock drill at
Panchpada Government High School under its Corporate Social Responsibility
(CSR) initiative.

informative session, Fire Safety In-charge Anshuman Patidar and Fire Officer
Satyanarayan Mishra sensitised students about the common causes of fire,
various types of fire hazards, and crucial preventive measures to be adopted
during emergency situations. The interactive session helped students understand

Adding a practical
dimension to the programme, fire safety personnel Bulu Pera and Shiv Kumar

fire-related emergencies.

students actively participated in the programme, reflecting strong engagement
and awareness among young learners. The event was attended by Headmistress
