After 13 years, two schools in the remote villages of Bedok and Sarzay district of Chagai have re-opened with the support and efforts of Reko Diq Mining Company (RDMC) a joint venture between Barrick and the Governments of Balochistan and Pakistan. This initiative is a part of RMDC’s commitment to community development while building a world-class coper gold mine in the area, a press statement issued on Friday said.
RMDCs community investment portfolio is guided by Community Development Committees (CDCs) which have local stakeholders and community leaders as key members. The CDC of the fan sediment area of the Reko Diq Project, in which these two villages are located, proposed the re-opening of the primary schools so that the local community’s children can have access to quality education.
