Prime Minister Tarique Rahman inaugurated the Family Card program on Tuesday morning at the T&T playground in Banani, adjacent to the Karail slum in Dhaka. During the ceremony, he distributed cards to 15 women, marking the official start of the initiative. The event was attended by cabinet members, diplomats, representatives from national and international development partners, and prominent citizens.
According to the announcement, the program will initially be implemented in 15 wards across 13 districts. Committees have been formed at ward, union, upazila, and district levels to collect and verify household data. Using automated software, families were categorized by poverty index into five economic classes. After verification, 37,567 women-headed households were finalized for allowance distribution, excluding those with government jobs, pensions, or duplicate benefits.
Field committees collected detailed socio-economic data from 67,854 women-headed families nationwide during the pilot phase. The initiative was a key component of the BNP’s election manifesto and aims to ensure targeted support for disadvantaged families.
