The Company realizes its responsibility in this domain and conscientiously works towards the betterment of society in many different spheres. “PSO has time and again reached out to those in remote areas bringing to them basic human rights such as health and education, for free. We thank our partner TCF for their cooperation and support in helping us further such a noble project,” said Irfan Qureshi, Managing Director, PSO.

For generations to come, PSO is firmly etched its place as a pioneer amongst many local companies in that regard.
