Bhubaneswar: Inspired by Olympic spirit, TP Southern Odisha Distribution Limited (TPSODL) recently inaugurated the 22nd edition of Tata Volunteering Week (TVW), themed Volympics, with a series of impactful events aimed at promoting community betterment and social responsibility. The event was held at the Helen Keller Red Cross School for the Deaf in Berhampur, where TPSODL CEO Amit Kumar Garg, and Chief Technology Officer Biman Kumar Ghosh were joined by over 35 enthusiastic volunteers to celebrate Teacher’s Day with 133 students and 13 teachers.
