Ramagundam: On the eve of Ganesh Chaturthi, NTPC-Ramagundam in association with Telangana State Pollution Control Board (TSPCB), Ramagundam Regional Office has organized distribution of clay Ganesh idols in NTPC-Ramagundam township on September 01, 2019.

Children present on the occasion were excited and interested in making Clay Ganesh and later they distributed the eco-friendly Ganesh free of cost with a message of saving the environment for future generation.
