“The launch of this Mobile Medical Unit is a significant milestone in our ongoing efforts to support the health needs of our local communities,” said Sh. Akhilesh Singh, Business Unit Head, NTPC Bongaigaon. “Our focus on maternal and child healthcare reflects our commitment and exemplifies the corporate ethos of social responsibility and pro-active community engagement fostering a healthier, stronger society.”
