Bureau,Odishabarta

TALCHER:With the objective of empowering women with skill development, NTPC Talcher Kaniha inaugurated a training program on Non-Woven Bag Making to Self-Help Women Groups on December 16, 2020. Under its CSR initiative, the Station will provide a 20 days long training programme in association with M/s Jagaran from Bhubaneswar.

The program was inaugurated by Shri Rafiqul Islam, AGM (CSR) along with other NTPC officials and staff. Over 20 women from peripheral villages will benefit from this initiative which will aid in providing livelihood to women.

Following the training, the SHG women will begin production of these bags which will then be procured by NTPC to sell in the nearby shops. In addition to boosting income generation of SHGs, these cotton bags will also reduce the dependence on polythene bags. In this pursuit, NTPC Talcher Kaniha has been working persistently to support women in building their skills and becoming financially independent.
