Besides providing electricity to the national Capital, Badarpur Thermal Power station of NTPC is also extending its corporate social responsibility to neighbourhood villages.
Debasis Sarkar, Badarpur General Manager, NTPC, speaking on Thursday, said that NTPC Badarpur has taken up skill development as a project for employability to support the marginalised and the Below Poverty Line(BPL) segment, helping them in income generation.
The project is an ongoing activity which is run by an NGO. Every year, approximately 400 girls from nearby areas get trained in the field of dress making, beauty culture and craft. Recently, computer classes have been started for youths as well. The project has impacted neighbourhood women in creating self-employment, added Sarkar.
As far as education is concerned, NTPC Badarpur is not far behind. Merit scholarships are distributed every year to meritorious students of nearby government schools.
