Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed stated that the BNP government is working to advance Bangladesh through reforms aimed at achieving economic prosperity and excellence in training, intellect, and technology. He made the remarks on Sunday afternoon at the Eid reunion of the Pekua Government Model GMC Institution Alumni Association in Cox’s Bazar.

The minister said that the traditional education system had created millions of unemployed graduates in the past. To address this, the government plans to restructure the education system to produce skilled and employable citizens. He added that technical education would be made mandatory to build a competent workforce and that the government had already begun implementing its election pledges, including initiatives to empower women through family cards.

Salahuddin Ahmed also announced that farmers would soon receive agricultural cards and noted that the government had waived agricultural loans of ten thousand taka with interest in its first cabinet meeting after taking office.
