Massage of Chair Person
First of all I thank the great creator who created me. Bangladesh is an underdeveloped, poor and predominantly agricultural country in South Asia. Almost half of the total population is women. After 1971, the role of women in all the development of the country is unlimited along with men. Moreover, it is not possible for the government alone to take all the developmental steps of the country. Therefore, in all the development activities of the government in this country, the role of cooperation of civil society and NGOs along with the government is immense. My immense gratitude and congratulations to Dr. SM Haque who was the main promoter of WESHDA organization in 2005. Apart from this, my sincere congratulations and best wishes to all the advisory committee members, company employees, officers and those who created this profile. And congratulations and best wishes to the 3500 members who have benefited from this Sansam.
Finally I wish the WEDHDA organization and all the people of Bangladesh well.
Regards,
Mrs. Hasina Khatun,
