FE Report
State Minister for Science and Technology Yafesh Osman on Thursday said that Bangladesh may face a catastrophe in the coming days if the country's meritorious youth force cannot be engaged in different productive sectors.
He was addressing the inaugural session of the Science, Industry and Technology Fair-2012 of the Bangladesh Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (BCSIR) at its office in the city.
The minister also inaugurated BCSIR One Stop Service Centre, established in joint collaboration of BCSIR and Team-H of Managing at the top-2 (MATT-2) under the Public Administration ministry.
The minister emphasised the need for taking initiatives to accelerate the involvement of the young generation in different creative activities as 65 per cent of the population of the country are juvenile.
Mr Osman said, "The senior citizens of our country need to change their attitude towards the youth instead of neglecting them."
"Our youths are 'international citisens' since the modern technology especially the information technology (IT) has privileged them to reach elsewhere," he said.
He said the nuclear power station proposed to be constructed soon will not only solve the electricity crisis but also the new generation will feel proud of it.
The minister announced that an international conference will be organised very soon in Bangladesh where scientists from all over the world will be invited.
Eminent educationist Dr Zamilur Reza Chowdhury emphasised allowing the individuals to gather knowledge on their will.
He said, "Formal education and age were never a barrier to become a scientist as in the past, a number of inventors and discoverers had no formal education and many of them were very young."
Mr Chowdhury also said that young inventors need to be patronised to make Bangladesh a science-based country.
He highlighted the importance of organising such fairs at the grassroots level to let the creativity of the young scientists living in the rural areas flourish.
BCSIR chairman Dr Ahmed Ismail Mustafa said, "This fair will give a platform to the young generation to show their latent talent which will turn our country into a science-oriented nation in future."
MATT-2 is a training project for civil servants who belong to the level of deputy secretary and above and which is co-financed by UK Department for International Development (DFID) with government of Bangladesh and conducted by the Bangladesh Public Administration Training Centre (BPATC).
