NTPC's 'Super 30 Girls' program students qualify for IITJEE Mains

Enrolled under NTPC's 'Super 30 girls' Program, a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative introduced by India's largest power generating company, 18 girls, out of 25, have successfully qualified for the IIT JEE Mains.

The year-long residential program, implemented with an objective to coach students belonging to economically weaker families, brought these aspirants a step closer to fulfilling their dream of studying in some of India's premier institutes.

As part of this noble initiative, rolled out in association with the Centre for Social Responsibility and Leadership (CSRL), NTPC bears the entire cost of boarding, lodging, and coaching for the girl students belonging to underprivileged families.

After an MoU was signed between NTPC Northern Region Head Quarter in Lucknow and CSRL, New Delhi, NTPC and CSRL jointly initiated the 77.03 lakh-program for 30 girls selected from families living in the vicinity of NTPC plants in the northern region. During the tenure of the project, students were provided with free stay and food and were also imparted coaching and training to sit for entrance examinations (IIT/JEE/NIT) that would help them gain admission to eminent institutes in the country.

The program, at present, has 25 girls studying at the 'NTPC Super 30 Girl' center in Varanasi. These students were selected from various Government schools in Varanasi and Lucknow.
