Beximco Computers Limited (BCL), a subsidiary of BEXIMCO Group has won the ‘BASIS National ICT Awards 2022’, in the ‘Government and Citizen Services’ category on highly impactful program titled ‘Food Friendly Programme (FFP)’- a product of DG Food of Ministry of Food in recognition of providing innovative services in the IT sector of the country.
“Food Friendly Program” (FFP) is a dream of our honorable Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, where nutritional support is provided to vulnerable families and rural households by offering rice at a subsidized price.
According to BCL sources, the "Food Friendly Initiative" seeks for eligible, extremely impoverished households who are in need of food; as a result, 4.25 million vulnerable recipients have benefited from this program.
For the families to benefit from the initiative, a facial recognition technology must be used to identify them. The initiative started in March 2022, and after only 5 months, BCL has implemented the project.
