Besides, the parliamentary body suggested the ministry to distribute sewing machines among poor and destitute women through district officials of the department. Now the sewing machines are distributed from the head office of the department.

Committee members State Minister for Women and Children Affairs Meher Afroz (Chumki), Mozammel Hossain, Mahbub Ara Begum Gini, Nasrin Jahan Ratna, Monwara Begum, Fazilatunnesa took part in the meeting.
