On behalf of the government, we have spoken to the responsible officials at the district and upazila levels. The steps taken by the government, how the service projects are implemented at the lowest level of the country is really a matter of joy, and we have learned by talking to the women and children who are benefited, if this service is more extensive and ongoing, the number of service recipients and their number will increase day by day, so that the government and the state service chief can open the way for the people of the country to enter the mainstream of the economy.

These sectors of service to women and children by Bangladesh government need to be more realistic. So that the identified service recipients are not deprived of this. Then the plans and objectives of the government will be truly implemented. Because what the government wants for the people, the people also expect from the government. In this case, the officials and employees in charge of the government must be more realistic, responsible, so that the service recipients are not deprived in any way, and the government’s goals, objectives and plans are not disrupted.
