The Rajshahi City Corporation (RCC) has clinched the top position in birth and death registration performance across the country this year.
It has also attained an epoch-making success in providing health services and is determined to maintain the success in the years to come.

Sharif Babu called for upholding the city corporation’s successes through performing duties with utmost sincerity and honesty.
He opined that collective efforts of all concerned have become an urgent need to ensure hundred percent birth and death registration as the government is very much attentive to this end. All the local government institutions, including city corporations, pourashavas and union parishads, should play vital role in this regard, he observed.
Panel Mayor Babu said birth registration certificates are used in admission to school, marriage, getting passports, making national identity cards, driving license and land registration to ensure transparency.
So, hundred percent birth registrations have become important at present, he added.
