PD Council has taken formal compliance and quality-assurance measures involving three Gold Partnerships in Bangladesh and India, including the issuance of warnings and the temporary suspension of certain partnership activities.
These measures form part of PD Council’s ongoing commitment to maintaining high standards of institutional conduct, service quality, and compliance across its global partner network.
As an independent accreditation and professional standards body, PD Council places significant importance on ensuring that institutions operating under its accreditation or partnership framework meet applicable requirements and maintain the standards expected of the PD Council network.
Students and Institutions Encouraged to Verify Accreditation Status
PD Council strongly encourages students, prospective students, educational institutions, and other stakeholders to independently verify the accreditation or partnership status of any institution claiming an association with PD Council.

Verification is particularly important where an institution is promoting PD Council accreditation, partnership, certification, or other forms of recognition.
Protecting Trust and Maintaining Standards
PD Council continuously reviews its partner network and may take appropriate measures where concerns relating to compliance, service delivery, institutional conduct, or partnership requirements are identified.
Such measures may include warnings, corrective actions, restrictions, or suspension of specific partnership activities, depending on the circumstances.
The objective of these processes is to protect students, institutions, partners, and the wider professional education community while maintaining the integrity of the PD Council network.
PD Council remains committed to transparency, responsible institutional partnerships, and continuous quality improvement across the countries and regions in which it operates.
