In the last five years, in keeping with the government`s vision and policies, DHI has played a substantial role in helping us achieve several key objectives. Based on the positive transformations in its companies, the numerous business initiatives it has undertaken, and the substantial increase in its revenues to the government, the establishment of DHI has made an excellent contribution to the welfare of the nation.
