Update on the new icon ‘N-Power Transition’ on NPVN Portal

Meanwhile, some reports claim the ‘N-Power Transition’ has been removed from the NPVN Portal.

But volunteers who are yet to click on it are advised to stay calm.

The reports say the ‘N-Power Transition’ is just a Test-Phase for those that saw it earlier and it will be back as soon as the technology solutions company handling N-Power volunteers’ NPVN is done with it.
