Prime Minister’s Education, Primary and Mass Education Adviser Mahdi Amin announced that the government plans to gradually deliver improved mid-day meals to around 20 million primary school students across Bangladesh. He said the initiative aims to ensure nutritious, high-quality, and long-lasting food, supported by modern technology-based research. Amin made the remarks on Saturday at a roundtable titled ‘From Genome to Bioeconomy: Enhancing Bangladesh’s Biotechnology Capacity by 2030,’ organized by Bioted in Eskaton Garden, Dhaka.
The adviser emphasized that one of the Prime Minister’s major commitments is to guarantee mid-day meals for primary students. He noted that current tiffin items such as butter buns or bananas spoil quickly, underscoring the need for affordable and durable food solutions through research and development. Amin also highlighted the importance of curriculum reform to build transferable and technical skills, stronger industry-academia collaboration, and self-reliance in vaccine and food production through biotechnology.
He added that engaging expatriate researchers through joint research and short courses could transform brain drain into brain circulation, helping strengthen national research capacity and empower citizens through biotechnology.
