In line with this commitment and extending its support to the Prime Minister’s efforts to clean India through the Swaach Bharat Abhiyan Tata Power’s Maithon Power ltd (MPl) organised a Swacahta drive at Maithon dam near Chath Ghat. The campaign titled ‘Swachch Bharat Pakhwada’ received an overwhelming response with participation from more than 50 volunteers.
The cleanliness drive undertaken by the employees of Maithon Power ltd in collaboration with students from BSK college aimed to clean vast stretches along the bank of Maithon dam. The volunteers collected and disposed huge quantities of non-degradable as well as recyclable waste including plastics, glass bottles, and pieces of broken glasses.

At Maithon Power ltd, we believe that a clean environment is essential to the well being of its residents and society at large. We fully support the vision of the honourable Prime Minister of a clean and green India, and will actively play a role in achieving this goal beginning with our surroundings at Maithon.”

This will definitely serve as an example for others to take up the cause of Swaach Bharat as well. We are happy that we at MPl have played a role in starting this process and we look forward to extending our support to the Swaach Bharat Abhiyan” added P. Thakur, Dy.
