Shri Asutosh Biswas, GM (Operations), also addressed the gathering and highlighted the importance of Gandhi’s philosophy in everyday life. “As members of the NTPC Bongaigaon family, it is our duty to uphold the values of Gandhiji and work towards realizing his vision of a peaceful and just society,” he said. Shri Biswas further spoke on the simplicity and integrity demonstrated by Shri Shastri throughout his life, encouraging everyone to imbibe these qualities.

The event witnessed active participation from Heads of Departments (HODs), employees, and representatives from various unions and associations, who also shared their reflections on the values upheld by Mahatma Gandhi and Lal Bahadur Shastri. Their contributions to the nation continue to inspire generations, and the gathering reiterated the importance of living by their principles in personal and professional lives.

NTPC Bongaigaon remains committed to fostering these ideals within its community and workplace, encouraging all to work together towards a more sustainable and harmonious future.
