She mentioned that due to the pragmatic and time-befitting steps of the government the country has advanced in the last 12 years.

“We have to go more, we want to build a hunger- and poverty-free Bangladesh which was the dream of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, our aim is the country will no longer see ‘monga’ and famine and people will never face sufferings,” she said.

“Rural people will live in their villages and get all facilities of the urban areas, people will no longer need to rush to the capital as employment opportunities will be created in the villages,” she said.

She asked all concerned to implement the development programs properly.

Sheikh Hasina said that the government is setting up 100 economic zones across the country to expedite industrialization for meeting local demand and boosting exports.

She also asked the owners of industries to set up agricultural product processing plants considering those products that grow in their respective areas.

She also said that the government has set up a testing laboratory that is needed for exporting food items and gradually all divisional headquarters will get such a laboratory so that products could be sent from there directly.

 “Our aim is to make Bangladesh a developed and prosperous nation by 2041, InshAllah this will also be achieved, no one will be able to stop Bangladesh from marching forward,” she said.

She said that the future generation will get a congenial atmosphere for living.

Talking about the massive development of Rangpur division in the last 12 years, the prime minister said that the government has taken numerous development programs for this division.

“By the grace of Allah, no ‘monga’ or famine was seen in this region after the Awami League came to power,” she said.

She also mentioned that Rangpur region is now a food surplus area and employment opportunities have been created for  its people.
