KILLING two birds with one stone is a skill that Arup Roy Choudhury, Chairman and Managing Director of the National Thermal Power Corporation, has mastered. Fast becoming a hero among the employees of the corporation, he called the senior management together and explained his vision for the future of NTPC employees. Every employee, he said, should have two houses on retirement - one to live in and the other to generate an income for the old person to live on. Some officials who know him well smiled. Now the total number of houses needed for NTPC employees across the country is being tabulated. But NTPC is a power generation company, it does not construct houses. So who will do this? Sources say the houses will be built by the National Building Construction Company (NBCC). Choudhury was its CMD and hauled it out of the red. Since he left, it is again not doing very well. This way, he will have a grip on NBCC as well.
