Through this initiative, the PC Chandra Group reinforces its pledge towards creating a better tomorrow for the future generations. This fortifies its corporate philosophy and internal culture of trust, quality, honesty and excellence.
Like every year, on the third chapter of Gyandhara, a sum of Rs 2 Lakh each was granted to 15 reputed colleges of South 24 Parganas, Bankura, Birbhum, Dakshin Dinajpur, Hooghly, Howrah, Kolkata, Nadia, Burdwan, Cooch Behar and Jharkhand towards establishing The PC Chandra Knowledge Centre in their premises.
Speaking on the occasion, Prosanto Chandra, Joint Managing Director, P C Chandra Jewellers said, "Education is a key to the progress of any country and is a powerful tool of empowerment. While the colleges are providing educational opportunities to the future of our country, being a socially responsible corporate group it is our duty to help and support them."
