Being a leading and responsive company in Odisha, OSL has contributed a sum of Rs 20,00,000 (INR twenty lakh) meant for providing better facilities in the spheres of games, music and other activities under the "Mission Zero F Initiative".
The District Level Committee (DLC) will select the schools where the donation will be utilized.At a special programme held, P K Pattnaik, Head of Estate Department, OSL, handed over the cheque to Shri Bhabani Shankar Chayani, Collector, Cuttack, in the presence of Smt.
