After witnessing the quality of the training program that TCB Cell of QCI conducted on accreditation in the University once, the interest from GTU for a bigger collaboration itself reflects the quality of efforts QCI is putting into driving quality across the nation. In addition to this, we would like to collaborate with the state government of Gujarat in the future and bring more quality interventions across the state through various initiatives of QCI such as Gunvatta Sankalp, and even collaborate for Vibrant Gujarat Summit 2024.”

With the support of quality-driven schemes and initiatives by QCI, from large to small, every business will thrive in achieving quality and positioning themselves on the global map.”
