Ranchi: Central Coalfields Limited (CCL) CMD Nilendu Kumar Singh launched the ambitious project “Nanha Sa Dil”. During this, Director, Human Resources, Harshnath Mishra and many department heads of CCL were also present. While launching the project, CCL CMD Mr. N.K. Singh said that every child has the right to start life with a healthy heart, the CCL family is always committed to awareness and treatment of congenital heart disease and this project is a meaningful initiative in that direction.

          The project was started with the screening of seven-month-old child Abhiraj Mahato and eight-year-old girl Bidiya Kumari of Ramgarh district, who were present in the program with their mother. Under this project, free screening and diagnosis of children will be done in every village through a well-equipped mobile van provided by CCL. Children who are confirmed to have CHD will be treated completely free of cost.

        Apart from this, CCL will bear the cost of travel of the patient and his family to the hospital for checkup up to three times after treatment. It is known that CCL takes such initiatives from time to time under CSR, so that stakeholders, workers and villagers can get direct benefit. At the same time, CCL CMD Nilendu Kumar Singh and Director Human Resources Harsh Nath Mishra performed Puja and flagged off the investigation van running from village to village under the “Nanha Sa Dil” project.
