The government has launched the Family Card program to strengthen the economic position and confidence of women-led households, with mobile financial service Nagad playing a key role in fund distribution. Prime Minister Tarek Rahman inaugurated the initiative on Tuesday morning at Karail slum, where 6,451 families across 13 districts received a total of Tk 16.2 million through Nagad in the pilot phase.
The program, a pre-election pledge, aims to provide Tk 2,500 monthly financial assistance to poor families in various districts and city corporation areas. Initially, it is being implemented in 15 wards across city corporations, municipalities, and unions in 13 districts. Data from 51,805 families were collected, followed by field verification to prevent duplicate or ineligible beneficiaries, such as government employees or pensioners.
Priority is given to women-headed families to enhance the financial capacity of marginalized women. Officials from Nagad expressed gratitude to the government for selecting the service to distribute funds under this flagship initiative, which is expected to improve living standards for low-income households.
