EducationGDC supports the achievement of education for children in the areas where we operate. We will equip and rehabilitate educational institutions to establish model schools. These efforts will contribute towards the Millennium Development Goal of increasing access to education at the primary level by 2015. In order to enhance our internal human resource capacity GDC may, based on merit, sponsor deserving but needy students interested in pursuing mechanical and/or electrical engineering degree courses.
