‘Media Round Table*
Sir. The Daily Star Media Round Table- open conference is an illuminating and Interesting source of information for the people towards their wel fare. The views of the partici pants from a broad-based group of thinker* drawn from all walks of life, rank and file, really reflect the hopes and aspirations of the common
people.
It is right time to think for the people, by the people and of the people to make our democratic values and rule of law practised and established firmly together by all of us towards building a happy and prosperous Bangladesh.
We must take people Into confidence. Irrespective of caste, creed, religion and location. and promote people-
centred, environmentally sustainable development as a strategy and objective to pave the way of socio-economic development based on innovative grass-roots level activities with people's participation.
The philosophy of "extended self-Interest" for involvement of all types of communities — especially disadvantage groups of people, landless tribal* and aboriginals, should be given emphasis and development activities undertaken with creation of employment opportunities for a vast number of educated, as well as uneducated youths in particular.
The sooner we realize the problem and magnitude of unemployment and find sources of income for all — ru-
ral and urban people alike — the belter we would,be able lo march ahead towards our national progress.

Credit societies
Sir, The concept of credit society in our country Is new and it Is based on co-operative system. Bui due to some rea sons, the movement was not consolidated. However, now through professional dexterity. efficlciHy. honesty and integrity. It is growing
Co operative system Is one of the economic activities en dorsed by our constitution So
to uphold our constitutional legacy, we should streamline the movcmcnl of credit society. In many countries, concepts of credit societies arc-very consolidated In their cor-’ porate discipline's, because they arc playing positive role lo achieve corporate emancipation.
In Bangladesh, besides the commercial banks, life Insurance. companies etc., the emerging credit societies arc instruments of mobilizing small private saving* for na tlonal corporate progres*. So the snow balling development of credit societies In Bangladesh Is obviously welcomed in our corporate culture.
