"The OGDCL takes pride in giving priority to the female population of District Karak (being the top producing district for OGDCL) while acknowledging and addressing their education related travelling needs.
The CSR initiative by the OGDCL will go a long way in promoting women's education in the area," the company said.
The OGDCL being a socially responsible Company, is also providing facilities to the local communities of District Karak in different areas like education, health, water, infrastructure development, environment and sports.
The company aims to launch a Greater Water Supply Scheme for the community to overcome the problem of water shortage in district Karak.
"The efforts are underway for planning, designing and construction of the project with active assistance from the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The estimated cost of the project is Rs.380 million," the OGDCL said.
