He noted that in a state with limited industrial presence, power corporations play a critical role in contributing to social welfare through Corporate Social Responsibility. Parnaik said such interventions directly improve access to education and daily mobility for children who often face additional challenges.

Calling the Oju Mission School’s students the State’s “Shining Stars,” the Governor said NEEPCO’s support will strengthen the OWA’s longstanding commitment to providing education, care and protection to vulnerable children. He expressed hope that the corporation would continue to prioritise welfare-oriented CSR projects, particularly those benefiting children with special needs.
