Remeasurement of

NHDCL housing NHDCL has housing assets all over the country, which were taken over from the various government agencies and organizations. However, there were discrepancies in the size and measurements of the houses on record and on the ground. Therefore, NHDCL undertook a comprehensive exercise to validate the records and reclassify the houses in the country. In the exercise, third year students of the College of Science and Technology, Phuntsholing

assisted the NHDCL for which the management of NHDCL would like to thank CST students and the management.
