New Delhi: NTPC Kanti on Friday announced the launch of a pioneering mobile medical unit, a significant stride towards improving maternal and child healthcare in the region. This groundbreaking initiative is the first of its kind at NTPC's Muzaffarpur-based power plant, which generates 390 MW at Kanti, and underscores NTPC’s steadfast commitment to community welfare through its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs.

This initiative aims to address critical healthcare needs and improve health outcomes for mothers and children in these underserved communities. The mobile medical unit will look after pregnant women and newborn baby.
