Ajay Verma, Head of Project, VPHEP, also expressed his appreciation for the program and highlighted THDC's long-standing efforts in community development, "We are proud to inaugurate this training centre as a part of our broader commitment to the welfare of people residing in project-affected areas. Our intent is not just to build infrastructure, but to contribute meaningfully to the lives of those around us. This is one of many steps we are taking to foster self-reliance and growth."
Miss Abhijita Sahu (Field Officer), Mrs. Neelam Hatwal (Social Mobilizer), and Mrs. Rameswari Hatwal were also present on this occasion.
