The chief minister was addressing a function organised by GHRDC at the conference hall of SCERT Porvorim to celebrate its anniversary and to felicitate its Covid warriors.
“The GHRDC presently has 2,800 employees on its role and the government intends to expand the scope of GHRDC, for which corporation plans to recruit 2,000 more staff by 2022 and train them not only in security and housekeeping fields, but also in other areas such as steno, computer operators, etc.”
Various departments in the government hire personnel trained by GHRDC for various types of services, such as security, housekeeping, gardening, etc.
