Muzaffarpur : NTPC Kanti has taken an initiative towards the development of community infrastructure by allocating ₹1 crore for the development of seven Chhath Ghats in and around the project area. The works will be executed through the concerned department of the Government of Bihar under the Deposit Work Scheme.
In this regard, Shri Pankaj Kumar Gupta, Head of Project, NTPC Kanti, has written to the District Magistrate, Muzaffarpur, requesting the execution of the proposed works through the concerned department of the Bihar Government. NTPC Kanti has allocated a CSR budget of ₹1 crore for FY 2026-27 for the initiative.
The proposed Chhath Ghat development works will be undertaken at the following seven locations:
- Birpur Pokhar
- Sain Pokhar
- Maisaha Pokhar
- Panapur Kariyat Thana Pokhar
- Sirsia Math Pokhar
- Damodarpur Ganga Ram Pokhar
- Rani Pokhar
The development of these Chhath Ghats will provide local residents, particularly those from the surrounding and Project Affected Villages (PAVs), with safer and more convenient facilities for the observance of Chhath Puja and other community activities.
The initiative assumes special significance in view of the upcoming Chhath festival, when these water bodies witness large gatherings of devotees. The proposed infrastructure development is expected to facilitate safer and more organised celebrations for the local community.
NTPC Kanti has been consistently undertaking various CSR and community development initiatives aimed at improving the quality of life and supporting the socio-economic development of communities in and around its project area. The development of Chhath Ghats is another step towards strengthening NTPC Kanti’s commitment to community welfare and inclusive development.
