Prime Minister Tarique Rahman inaugurated the government’s ‘Family Card’ program on Tuesday at the T&T playground near Karail slum in Dhaka’s Banani area. The initiative, part of the ruling party’s election manifesto, aims to promote women’s empowerment, economic freedom, and social justice. Following the launch, financial assistance was instantly transferred to women’s bank or mobile accounts nationwide. The Prime Minister expressed gratitude for fulfilling the electoral promise and emphasized his government’s commitment to accountability and public service.
The event, chaired by Social Welfare Secretary Dr. Mohammad Abu Yusuf, was attended by cabinet members, diplomats, and senior officials. During the ceremony, 17 women received Family Cards directly from the Prime Minister, who was accompanied by his spouse Dr. Zubaida Rahman and ministers. Beneficiaries from Dhaka’s slums thanked the government for the support. The Family Card program, a key pledge of the BNP’s election manifesto, has begun as a pilot in 14 districts, initially reaching 37,567 women.
Rahman announced plans to expand the program to 40 million families within five years and confirmed progress on a similar ‘Farmer Card’ initiative. He reiterated that while global conditions may delay some promises, the government remains committed to its pledges.
