Patratu : On the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti, Patratu Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Limited (PVUNL) inaugurated a Multipurpose Community Hall in Gegda developed under its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative. Built at a cost of around ₹80 lakh, the facility has been dedicated to local villagers for social, cultural and community programmes.

Community Facility for Local Residents
The multipurpose community hall has been developed to strengthen community facilities in the rural area and promote the social and community development of local residents.
The facility will provide people with an accessible venue for organising various social, cultural and community events.
During the programme held at the Gandhi Memorial premises, Manish Jaiswal, Roshan Lal Choudhary and A.K. Sehgal garlanded the statue of Mahatma Gandhi and paid tribute to him.
On the occasion of the birth anniversary of former Prime Minister and Bharat Ratna Lal Bahadur Shastri, the dignitaries also offered floral tributes and remembered his contribution to the nation.
Tribute to Gandhi and Shastri
Guests and officials recalled the ideals of truth, non-violence, simplicity, self-reliance and national service associated with Mahatma Gandhi and Lal Bahadur Shastri.
They also took a pledge to incorporate these values into their lives and contribute towards society in accordance with their ideals.
Books and BookShelves Donated to Library
As part of its CSR initiative, PVUNL also donated three bookshelves and Hindi literature books to the Gandhi Memorial Library.
The initiative aims to strengthen the library’s facilities and encourage reading and interest in literature among students and local residents.
Plantation Under “Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam”
A large-scale plantation programme was also organised under the “Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam” campaign at the PVUNL Township premises and near the Gandhi Memorial site.
Public representatives, PVUNL officials, local villagers and other participants planted saplings together and conveyed a message of environmental protection and a greener future.
PVUNL Highlights Community Commitment
PVUNL has continued to engage and cooperate with local communities during national occasions and local festivals.
The Gandhi Jayanti programme reflected the company’s commitment to community development, education, culture and environmental conservation through its CSR initiatives.
The Gandhi Memorial Committee and local community appreciated PVUNL’s support and described it as an important step towards community development and social empowerment in the rural area.
During the programme, speakers also called for taking Mahatma Gandhi’s message of truth and non-violence to the wider public and making a collective contribution towards building society in accordance with his ideals.
The Gandhi Jayanti celebrations thus brought together messages of community development, education, environmental protection and respect for national leaders, giving the occasion a broader social significance.
