The JSPl Foundation on Wednesday dedicated a 50,000-litre-capacity overhead water tank to the students of the Dengula High School under Koira block in Sundargarh district.
The reinforced cement concrete (RCC) water tank was inaugurated by JSPl ED (Mines and Minerals) Ashish Kumar in the presence of teachers and students of the residential school and other company officials.
“Our company is committed to transforming the lives to make a better society. I am hopeful that that the project will be of great help for the students residing in the school,” said Kumar. There are about 600 students studying in the school. The tank has been constructed at a cost of Rs 30 lakh.
TRB iron ore mine head Pamod Kumar Patra said, “There was a longstanding demand from the school for such a facility, and we have completed it before the scheduled time.”
School Headmaster Bishnu Charan Mohanty thanked the JSPl Foundation for providing drinking water to 600 children in the hostel.
