Some years ago no one could imagine even in wildest dreams that once Tandwa will be reflected on the Power Map of India. We are on mission mode to illuminate Jharkhand by year 2019 when all the three units of North Karanpura Super Thermal Power Project at Tandwa of Chatra District will become operational. It was said by GM, NKSTPP Raghvendra Kumar Singh in a press meet at Hazaribagh office on Monday.
Giving the details of development in erection work of the power plant and the CSR activities Singh informed that the NKSTPP will be the first power station in the country near a coal mine with environment friendly super critical technology. Since the Government has fixed about 35 years of plant life so no permanent structures other than those necessary be allowed to come up here.
This project will remain equipped with air cooled condensers to reduce the water requirement by 80% and coal from Magadh coal project will be transported by 8km long cross country conveyor belt. “We are paying extra attention for the development of the area and welfare of the villagers” said GM. From next month construction of block office, college and the most important Hazaribagh-Bijupara four lane road is going to start. He also added that, besides this as per the advice of MP Chatra infrastructural facilities to 32 schools of the adjoining areas will be provided. 73 students have already been admitted in ITIs and scholarship to girl students had been given besides many other activities like distribution of tri cycles, mosquito net, sports kit, construction of 906 toilets in different schools of Chatra district and organization of medical camps throughout the year, added Singh.
