Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday said her government has been able
to make visible development in every sector by implementing a series of
programmes over the last four years and nine months.
“I always think about bringing about qualitative changes in every sector—agriculture, health, education, infrastructure, power generation and social safety net programmes,” she said. “We have achieved positive changes in those fields.”
Hasina made these comments when Bruce Davis, the visiting vice president of the Asian Development Bank, met her at her official Gono Bhaban residence.
Hasina’s Press Secretary Abul Kalam Azad briefed reporters after the meeting.
Thanks to social safety net programmes, Hasina said, her government has brought down the poverty rate to below 26 percent from 41 percent in 2009 and plans to bring it down further to 15 percent by 2021.
She mentioned that the government’s top priorities were to establish the rule of law, promote good governance and maintain macro-economic stability.
The government is committed to making a Digital Bangladesh and achieving the status of a middle-income country by 2021, the golden jubilee year of the country’s independence, she said.
