New Delhi: In line with its commitment to improving public healthcare facilities and community well-being in the Bodoland Territorial Region (BTR), NTPC Bongaigaon has signed two significant Memorandums of Agreement (MoAs) with the District Administration, Kokrajhar, under its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives.
The twin projects — construction of a 6-Bedded Intensive Care Unit (ICU) in the Burn Unit at Kokrajhar Medical College & Hospital (KMCH) and nutritional support for 200 TB patients under the Pradhan Mantri TB Mukt Bharat Abhiyan — reaffirm NTPC’s commitment to holistic and inclusive health development in the region.
The first MoA, a tripartite agreement among NTPC, the District Administration, and KMCH, envisages the creation of a modern 6-bedded Burn ICU with advanced life-support systems, infection-control facilities, and essential medical equipment at a project cost of ₹1.47 crore. The facility will enhance KMCH’s capacity to handle critical burn injury cases and provide tertiary care for patients across BTR and adjoining districts. The project, to be completed within 12 months, includes procurement and installation of specialized medical equipment, HVAC and oxygen pipeline systems, and state-of-the-art patient monitoring infrastructure.
The second MoA, signed between NTPC Bongaigaon and the District Administration, Kokrajhar, focuses on providing nutritional support to 200 TB patients across the district for a period of six months. With a total project cost of ₹13.44 lakh, the initiative will supply monthly food and protein supplements to registered TB patients under the PM TB Mukt Bharat Abhiyan, supporting faster recovery and treatment adherence for a period of six months.
The MoA signing ceremony was graced by Smt. Masanda M. Pertin, IAS, District Commissioner, Kokrajhar, and Shri Arnab Maitra, Business Unit Head, NTPC Bongaigaon, in the presence of officials from the District Administration and Kokrajhar Medical College, including Prof. Dr. Atul Chandra Baro, Principal and Chief Superintendent, KMCH; Smt. Kabita Deka, ACS, Additional Deputy Commissioner; Shri Amit K Asthana, Head of HR, NTPC Bongaigaon; Dr. Deepayan Paul, Chief Medical Officer, NTPC Bongaigaon; and Dr. Vivek Pandey, District TB Officer. Senior officials from NTPC and hospital representatives were also present.
Smt. Masanda M. Pertin, IAS, District Commissioner, Kokrajhar, noted that the new facilities represent timely and essential interventions in the district’s healthcare framework. She thanked NTPC Bongaigaon for its proactive CSR efforts and underlined that partnerships between the administration and corporates like NTPC are crucial for inclusive development in the region.
Shri Arnab Maitra, Business Unit Head, NTPC Bongaigaon, stated that the project reflects NTPC’s commitment to inclusive growth. He emphasized that NTPC not only generates power but also empowers lives through meaningful CSR interventions, adding that the Burn ICU at KMCH will strengthen critical care facilities for the people of BTR, while the nutritional support for TB patients will aid recovery and prevention. Together, these projects underscore NTPC’s resolve to build a healthier and more resilient community.
Both projects have been conceptualized under NTPC’s CSR mandate aligned with Schedule VII (i) of the Companies Act, 2013, focusing on promoting healthcare and preventive health. These initiatives also align with the Government of India’s vision of equitable healthcare access and NTPC’s continued efforts to foster sustainable community welfare in its operational areas.
The MoA signing marks another milestone in NTPC Bongaigaon’s continuous engagement with regional stakeholders to improve public health outcomes and contribute meaningfully to the nation’s healthcare goals.
