Muhith urges banks to spend more on edn from CSR funds

Finance Minister AMA Muhith on Thursday urged the country’s banking sector to spend more from their corporate social responsibility (CSR) funds on the education sector. ‘The best investment of a country is in the education sector as it plays the most significant role in building a nation,’ he said while addressing a programme in the city on Thursday. Appreciating some banks for their CSR contributions to the education sector, Muhith said these banks believe that education has been the most contributory element to human development, according to a news agency.
