GDAL library missing error

I am trying to run a Django application (new to Django development). When I try to run it, it gives me an error:

OSError: [WinError 126] The specified module could not be found.


I tried resolving it by installing GDAL python library, pointing gdal.h c library and gdal.dll file but the the error still persists.

gdal.h

gdal.dll

This is the description of the error:
