Saint-Gobain and Pratham Foundation opens training centre in Latur

Saint-Gobain Gyproc India is happy to announce that it has expanded its relationship with the Pratham Foundation by establishing a third training institute in Latur, Maharashtra.

As an industry partner, Saint-Gobain wants to empower people in Maharashtra’s Southeast region by teaching them industry-relevant skills in plasterboard and false ceiling crafts. The training will be provided free of charge, guaranteeing that people from all socioeconomic backgrounds can improve their abilities and employment opportunities.
