Patiala, April 26, 2022: Giving yet another push to rehabilitate families living in dilapidated houses in various villages of Patiala and Fatehgarh Sahib districts Nabha Power Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Larsen & Toubro which operates the 2x700MW supercritical thermal power plant at Rajpura, handed over the keys of newly constructed houses to eight families at a small but impressive ceremony organised in Kehargarh village in Patiala, on Saturday.
The EWS houses were constructed as part of the corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives of Nabha Power.
Handing over the keys of the newly constructed houses to the eight families, Mr SK Narang, Chief Executive of Nabha Power said, "Nabha Power as a dedicated corporate supports the local community by promoting housing, education, empowering rural women and enabling the youth to become financially independent.
The work to develop the rural infrastructure and promote health have also added quality to the lives of the local communities."
He said, "At Nabha Power, CSR is not just a compliance obligation, but it was a way by which the company has touched the lives of many local residents. The long-term CSR practices followed by Nabha Power have created a lot of goodwill amongst the local communities, who have been taken on board while formulating CSR plans and in a way, they have become partners in the progress."
Till date, Nabha Power has rehabilitated 20 families in as many as 19 villages by providing them with concrete houses having a room, kitchen, and washroom. This has enabled the people from the economically weaker sections of society to lead dignified lives.
Speaking on the occasion, Hardev Singh, sarpanch of Gurdittpura village thanked Nabha Power for its efforts to improve the lives of the locals by constructing homes, enhancing the employability of the women and youths through well-designed training and skill development programmes and upgrading the existing health facilities at the government dispensaries in many villages, besides, constructing various rural roads.
