Take services to upazila level: PM

UNB, Dhaka
Prime Minister Sheikh Haslna directed the authorities concerned to take services of the National Disabled Development Foundation up to upazila level for the best care and development of millions of people debilitated by disabilities across the country.
She gave the order while presiding over the maiden meeting of the patrons of the foundation at the Prime Minister's Offlce yesterday that discussed comprehensive measures for the welfare of the disabled.
The prime minister in the meeting also felt the necessity of updating the present rules and regulations of the Disabled Foundation for streamlining its activities.
“If necessary, we have to amend the existing rules and regulations of the foundation to bring more discipline and
dynamism in its activities in greater interest of the country's disabled people," she said.
Mentioning her government's various measures for development of the physically and mentally challenged people, she said the disabled people also can make huge contributions to various development sectors if they are given their congenial atmosphere and logistic supports.
Briefing newsmen after the meeting, Prime Minister's Press Secretary Abul Kalam Azad said that the PM referred to the success of Bangladesh's disabled persons at the Special Olympic during the tenure of past Awami League government.
Sheikh Hasina noted that although her previous government (1996-2001) formed the National Disabled Development Foundation, operations of the foundation remained suspended during
the tenure of the past BNP-Jamaat alliance government.
Citing government's “Patho Shishu Prokalpa (Street Urchin Project)" inTungipara, Gopalganj, she said her government has a plan to replicate the scheme across the country for the welfare of street children.
The prime minister also asked the authorities concerned to protect the government lands under the ministry of social welfare.
Patrons of the foundation and Finance Minister AMA Muhith, Home Minister Advocate Sahara Khatun, Information and Cultural Affairs Minister Abul Kalam Azad, Social Welfare Minister Enamu 1 Huq Mostafa Shaheed, State Minister for Youth and Sports Ahad Ali Sarkar and Prime Minister's Advisers FIT Imam and Prof Dr Syed Modasser Ali attended the meeting.
