As part of its commitment to expanding renewable energy, Edotco Bangladesh, the country’s leading telecommunications infrastructure service provider, has installed a 2.2-kilowatt uninterrupted solar power connection at St. Francis High School in Dinajpur. Provided entirely free of charge under Edotco’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiative “Tower to Power,” the installation will bring relief to the school’s 250 students and staff, who have long struggled with electricity shortages.
The inauguration ceremony was held at the school gate, where Edotco Bangladesh’s Country Managing Director Sunil Isaac, Engineering Director Dr. Sabbir Ahmed, and Operations Director Md. Monowar Sikdar cut the ribbon to mark the occasion. Also present at the event were Dinajpur District Education Officer Md. Rafiqul Islam, Church Bishop Sebastian Tudu, and School Superior General Bina S. Rosario.

Through initiatives like these, we aim to contribute to educational advancement, sustainable development, and meaningful social impact.”
