FBCCI President Md. Jashim Uddin has congratulated Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on her achievement of 100pc electrification in the country.
On Monday, the Prime Minister Shiekh Hasina officially declared the 100pc power coverage at the inauguration ceremony of the country’s biggest Payra 1320 MW thermal power plant with Ultra Super Critical technology.
In a congratulatory message, the FBCCI President said that the Prime Minister had promised to illuminate every house with electricity.
She has fulfilled the promise in the year of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's birth centenary and the golden jubilee of independence of Bangladesh. Prime Minister’s far-sighted plan and successful implementation brought Bangladesh under the 100pc power coverage.
President Md. Jashim Uddin said that economic activities in the remote areas are developing as a result of electrification.
Local employment has been created through new business ventures resulting in a development in all sectors including education, health, agriculture and industry.
The lifestyle of the people in the backward areas has also changed. At the same time, this initiative has paved the way for balanced development across the country.
The FBCCI President firmly believes that the other development goals of the government would be implemented on time just like the achievement of 100pc power coverage and Bangladesh
would emerge as a developed country by 2041.
