National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) Simhadri launched its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative, the Girl Empowerment Mission (GEM)-2026, with an inaugural ceremony at Sakuntalam Hall. The four-week residential workshop is aimed at building leadership, confidence and overall development among girls from underprivileged backgrounds.
Around 130 girl students, selected from government schools in the station’s vicinity, are taking part in the programme. The curriculum covers academic learning, personality development, digital literacy and life skills, alongside sports and arts.
