“Our responsibility is to listen to them, understand them and ask them where they are facing hurdles. If we listen them, we can develop our country,” she said Sunday.
“Opportunities should be created for people with disabilities to help them stand on their own. We all have to work together to that end,” Putul said while inaugurating a job fair for the people with disabilities.
The fair was organised by Bangladesh Computer Council in association with the ICT Division.
Zunaid Ahmed Palak, state minister for ICT, said: “There are people among us whose conscience is disabled and they consider those with mental or physical challenges as disabled people.”
He hoped more than 3,000 people with special needs would get job opportunities by next three years.
This is the third job fair for the people with disabilities. The last two job fairs successfully provided job opportunities for 92 people. This time the fair is expected to provide 100 job opportunities.
Khandaker Johurul Alam, executive director of Services and Information on Disability (CSID), Mohammed Haider Ali, managing director of Exim Bank, among others, attended the opening programme.
