National Mineral Development Corporation (NMDC) Limited has developed a ghat and pitching area at the confluence of the Shankini and Dankini rivers. Executed under its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programme, the INR 298 lakh project is said to be delivering multi-dimensional impact - boosting tourism, fostering sustainable livelihoods, and aligning with national campaigns like Dekho Apna Desh and Swadesh Darshan.
Dantewada’s newly constructed ghat is said to be enhancing access to the river’s serene beauty and acting as a catalyst for economic and social revitalisation.
Rajvijay Tandon, Executive Engineer, Rural Engineering Service Division, Dantewada said, “The construction of the retaining wall and ghats in Dantewada, supported by NMDC’s CSR initiative, has transformed the area into a center for religious and social activities. Furthermore, the construction of the retaining wall ensures that there will be no adverse impact on the river in the future.”
In another CSR initiative, NMDC has extended support to the Madkam Kutma Samaj in Dantewada by distributing tent house materials - strengthening community infrastructure and preserving local socio-cultural practices.
