Speaking on the occasion, Shahana Akhter Jahan said the present government under the dynamic and prudent leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has been implementing diversified programmes for women empowerment.

The EALG project is being implemented in 30 Union Parishads and two upazilas in the district to supplement the government endeavor supported by the United Nation Development Programme (UNDP).

Akhter Jahan also said grassroots people have been availing scopes of improving their living and livelihood conditions as a result of implementing various demand-driven programmes by local government institutions.

Grassroots people, including the marginalized, underprivileged and ethnic minority ones, are getting support for improving their living and livelihood conditions as the government has been implementing multidimensional time-fitting programmes.

As a result of implementation of the projects constantly, positive changes have become visible everywhere in the villages contributing a lot to infusing dynamism into the uplifting activities of rural livelihood.

Different projects of the UPs related to road development, ensuring healthcare, poverty reduction, water and sanitation and agriculture developments, are implemented based on the peoples’ demands.

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are being achieved through the UPs because these are very important among other local government institutions in the country.

Each and every UP chairman must arrange ward meetings regularly thereby hopes and aspirations of the grassroots population can be reflected.
