FBCCI inaugurates Mujib Corner, Directors’ Lounge and Covid awareness Song

Bangladesh had set the target of becoming a middle-income country in 2021, the country has reached its desired goal two years ago under the strong leadership of the Prime Minister. In the same vein, Bangladesh will be an upper middle-income country before 2031. Therefore, the country needs to maintain the current political stability.

Dr. Hasan Mahmud MP made this remark at the inaugural ceremony of Mujib Corner and Directors Lounge at FBCCI office and also the inauguration of a Covid awareness song in Motijheel on Saturday afternoon.

FBCCI’s Mujib Corner is designed with rare still photographs of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and a number of books on his biography, political struggle and development philosophy. A lounge for FBCCI directors has also been set up next to Mujib Corner.

The Minister thanked the FBCCI leaders for setting up the Mujib Corner during the inaugural discussion. He said the private sector and the country's businessmen have made an outstanding contribution to the economic development of Bangladesh.

The Minister hoped that the business community of this country would contribute more in building the country by embracing the spirit of Bangabandhu. Dr. Hasan Mahmud MP said that when Bangladesh became independent, many people called this country a bottomless basket. Many famous economists fear that the it will take at least 100 years to achieve 1000-dollar per capita income of the people of Bangladesh. But all the predictions proved to be false. Now the per capita income of this country is over two and a half thousand dollars. The country ranks 92nd in the world in terms of area, but in terms of PPP, Bangladesh stands 29th and 31st largest economy in terms of GDP. According to the forecasts of various international research institutes, Bangladesh is going to become the 24th economy in the world soon. Despite being the country with the lowest per capita land, Bangladesh is one of the world's top producers of rice, fish, vegetables, potatoes and other crops.

The Minister remarked that these achievements have been possible under the visionary leadership of the Prime Minister. He said Bangladesh is in a better position than other countries as the Prime Minister has made a prudent decision to control the covid cases and keep the economy afloat.

At the same time, the minister said that if the current political stability in the country continues in the future, Bangladesh will become a upper middle income country even before 2031 and a developed one by 2041.

Earlier, FBCCI President Md. Jashim Uddin addressed the occasion and called for reforms in the education system to address the shortage of skilled manpower in the industry. He said there is a dearth of skilled people in many sectors including readymade garments. Although there are educated people but not with required skill by the industry, he added.

FBCCI President Md. Jashim Uddin thanked the Prime Minister for promoting Bangladesh from a low-income country to a middle-income country. He said the private sector has always been an ally of the government in this advancement. The businessmen have always tried their best to achieve the development goals that the Prime Minister has set before the nation and will continue to do so in the future.

Md. Jashim Uddin commented that due to the foresight of the Prime Minister in governing the country, positive growth has been achieved even during the Corona epidemic. He said the FBCCI had distributed masks, high-flow nasal cannulas, cylinders and other medical equipment across the country on behalf of the private sector to cope with the onslaught of the global epidemic.

At the same time, the President said, the FBCCI has again started distributing masks across the country to prevent the transmission of Omicron.

Speaking on the occasion, FBCCI Senior Vice President Mostofa Azad Chowdhury said that Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, had emphasized on developing political and trade relations with different countries during his rule of three years and seven months. Even now the country is moving towards development based on his philosophy.

The Senior Vice President reiterated the demand made at the meeting of the Council of Chambers Presidents held on January 22, he urged prime minister to give the FBCCI President the same status as the Minister of State.

Speaking on the occasion, FBCCI Vice-President Md. Habib Ullah Dawn said that for a long time there was no seating arrangement for directors at FBCCI. The present committee has set up a separate lounge for the directors. Mr. Habib Ullah Dawn praised the leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in running the country and said that Bangabandhu's dream of a golden Bengal was being realized through the hands of the Prime Minister.
