Women will manage the electricity sub-division in Rourkela

12 Aug 2024

Tata Power Western Odisha Distribution Limited (TPWODL), a joint venture between the Government of Odisha and Tata Power, has dedicated its Udit Nagar Electricity Sub-Division exclusively to women employees to promote gender equality within the organisation.

Officials said that a launch event was recently held at TPWODL's Udit Nagar electricity sub-division to celebrate this initiative. By turning this sub-division into a women-only workplace, the Discom is reinforcing its commitment to foster an inclusive culture and provide equal opportunities for all employees.

Since the sub-divisional officer, junior engineer, commercial officer, and staff across all four section offices are women employees, it has been named ‘Team Tejaswini.’ Pallavi Nayak, Joint Commissioner of the Rourkela Municipal Corporation (RMC), extended her best wishes to Team Tejaswini, expressing hope that the team would establish a unique identity in electricity distribution not only in Rourkela but throughout western Odisha.

TPWODL CEO Praveen Kumar Verma highlighted that this milestone represents a significant advancement in the company's commitment to gender diversity and inclusivity. He added, "By dedicating the electrical sub-division exclusively to women, we are not only promoting a more balanced workplace but also empowering our women employees to lead and innovate."
