There are many societies in Gujranwala but DC Colony was the first society that was launched for in-service and retired government servants. As many government employees do not have proper suitable living spots. By considering this need of their employees the Punjab Government launched a society named “Punjab Government Employees Cooperative Housing Scheme” (PGECHS) in Gujranwala City. The reason for choosing Gujranwala city for PGECHS is the rapidly growing industry and rapid improvement in infrastructure.

Huge number of investors both from Pakistan and Overseas showed interest to invest in Gujranwala. So PGECHS has also introduced a housing project with the name DC Colony at Rahwali, G.T Road to give their employees a standard living in the best place. DC Colony Gujranwala is one of the most luxurious societies in Gujranwala.

The housing society has only one Phase which has been divided into different extensions. Extension I, Extension II & Extension III. Extension I and Extension II have possession plots although you can buy plot files in Extension III. More than 4000 members residing there in Extension I and Extension II.
