FE Report
The FBCCI Foundation Saturday distributed computers, sewing machines, irrigation pumps and rickshaw vans among 1,090 families under its 'One Family One Businessman' project aimed at creating self-employment.
Finance Minister AMA Muhith distributed the products at a ceremony organised by the Federation of Bangladesh Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FBCCI) Foundation in the city.
Speaking as chief guest, the finance minister said: "The business community has paved the way for increasing the domestic consumers demand and self-reliance is the key to social development."
He also called upon the recipients to make the best use of the products to change their fate and boost the country's economy.
FBCCI vice president Abu Alam Chowdhury gave the welcome speech while president-elect AK Azad also spoke.
"The business community is working to create capital and the recipients should use the products as their working tool by making the best use of it," Jute and Textile Minister Abdul Latif Siddique said.
Commerce Minister Muhammad Faruk Khan said the outgoing FBCCI team has thrown a challenge to the newly-elected team through this project.
This Foundation will work for reducing poverty, widening food-safety net, generating employment and developing human resource, said FBCCI president Annisul Huq, who steps down Wednesday.
In March, the country's apex chamber distributed the same products among 487 families.
