NTPC Kanti (Muzaffarpur Thermal Power Station) has won the India CSR Award 2025 for its impactful initiative “Skill as a Catalyst for Women’s Empowerment in Bihar.” Recognised at the 16th India CSR Summit in New Delhi, the programme has trained 1,480 rural women across nine income-generating trades, including bakery, pickle and papad making, sewing, beautician skills, beekeeping, mushroom cultivation, and nutrition gardening. With 900 households developing nutri-gardens, the initiative strengthens both livelihoods and health. Designed to suit local needs and home-based work, the CSR model promotes financial independence, entrepreneurship, and gender equality. Its scalable and sustainable approach has inspired similar programmes across other NTPC units, reinforcing NTPC’s commitment to inclusive, community-focused development.
