GTC's Head of Security and Workers Welfare Major (Retd.) Md. Ruhul Amin was present at the time.

It is learned that Germania Corporation Limited, the only domestic mining company engaged in the management, maintenance and production of Madhyapara stone mine, and the Germania-Trust Consortium (GTC), a joint venture of a Belarusian company, have been conducting various social and service activities for the welfare of the workers working under them and the people of the mining area.

As part of this, a monthly scholarship program has been started for the children of the workers studying in higher education.
