CHITTAGONG, June 1: No foreign aid dependent economic infrastructure can emerge as self-reliant and development oriented in any social system in the guise of free market economy.
Noted economist Moinul Islam expressed this as the chief guest at a discussion organised by the Chittagong chapter of the Bangladesh Economic Association (BEA) at the Theatre Institute auditorium in the port city Saturday.
Chaired by BEA (Chittagong chapter) President Sikander Khan, the meeting was attended, among others, by Dr Jamal Nazrul Islam, Dr Irshad Kamal Khan and Dr Hasanuzzaman Chowdhury.
Speakers at the discussion called for devising the means of resolving the problems of the deprived people of the community. They expressed concern on the micro-credit provided by non-governmental organisations (NGOs), both local and foreign, to underprivileged people. They also complained that on the pretext of globalisation our education system had turned into a market.
