The exhibition served as a dynamic platform to showcase products crafted at the Training-cum-Production Centres (TCPCs) established under RSP’s Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives at Suidih Gram Panchayat in Lathikata Block and Nuagaon Gram Panchayat in Nuagaon Block.

The TCPC at Nuagaon, facilitated by LEAD, a Ranchi-based NGO, displayed an impressive array of handcrafted products featuring intricate Kantha Stitch and traditional Sohrai paintings. The stalls attracted considerable attention with their elegant wall hangings, photo frames, sarees, bed sheets, handkerchiefs, table cloths, ladies’ and gents’ kurta sets, pillow covers and cushion covers , reflecting the rich cultural heritage and craftsmanship of the region.

The Patta Chitra section from TCPC Suidih was equally captivating, showcasing artistic photo frames in various sizes and motifs, along with exquisite Patta Chitra artworks created on canvas and coconut shells. The display highlighted RSP’s focused efforts in reviving traditional art forms while enabling artisans, particularly women, to earn sustainable incomes.

The programme was coordinated by Mr. R. S. Bara, DGM (CSR), under the guidance and supervision of Mr. Bivabasu Mallick, GM (CSR), and Ms. Munmun Mittra, GM In-charge (CSR).

Notably, TCPCs are significantly contributing towards skill development, women empowerment and income generation, thereby promoting sustainable livelihood and inclusive growth in rural communities through production-linked livelihood support. By connecting grassroots artisans with urban consumers, the initiative strengthens the local economy and encourages self-reliance among rural households.

Through its CSR Department, a massive campaign has been launched under which promo events are being organised in different villages. The events are witnessing enthusiastic response from the energetic rural folk. Special kiosks are being set up for the free registration of the participants for the half marathon. Notably, registration fees has been waived for rural participants and T shirts are being given to each participant registering for the half marathon. During the promo runs the participants are being provided with valuable insights about the professional marathon running. They are also learning essential techniques such as warm-up routines, correct running posture, breathing methods, pacing strategies, and post-run cooling exercises, inspiring participants to adopt a disciplined and scientific approach to the endurance sport.

The mascots of the Marathon ‘Padma’ and ‘Raja’ are adding to the attraction of the events.  It is noteworthy that RSP is also making special arrangements for the transportation, lodging and boarding of the participants. Special award categories have also been created for rural participants.

Notably the first Rourkela Half Marathon is going to be organised on 24^th January 2026 and the mega event is expected to attract more than 5000 runners from all over India. The idea of including more number of rural participants is to encourage them to develop the skill sets and participate in national and international marathon events.
