NMDC introduces a free education programme to empower tribal youth in Chhattisgarh, offering skill development and academic support for brighter futures.

In a significant move to promote educational equity, NMDC Limited has partnered with Apollo University, Chittoor to launch two transformative programs under its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) mandate. The initiatives 'Balika Shiksha Yojana' and 'Medical Technology Programme' are specifically designed to create academic and professional pathways for tribal and underprivileged youth in Chhattisgarh.
