They will stand on their own feet, be their own boss and work on their own, young people will walk with their heads held high in the society with self-respect.
The Prime Minister made the remarks before inaugurating the digital ID card issuance program for about 6.5 lakh freelancers in the ICT sector on Wednesday night (November 25). Prime Minister's Adviser on Private Sector Salman F. Rahman and State Minister for Information and Communication Technology Junaid Ahmed Palak spoke before the Prime Minister.
The Prime Minister said that freelancers had to face various problems for so long due to lack of recognition. This is also a kind of job. But it is to be the boss of oneself and not just the boss of oneself but also to give employment opportunities to others, to be the boss of others. That is, giving others the opportunity to work. That will be the opportunity.
She thanked the Prime Minister's Adviser on Information Technology Sajib Wazed Joy for his cooperation in this work and said, "I have told Sajib Wazed Joy from the beginning that it must be done." You tell me how to do it and give advice accordingly. I took advice from him. In fact, I actually learned computer from Sajib Wazed Joy.
The Prime Minister said it would help freelancers get bank loans as well as social contacts and help in empowerment. No need to bother looking for a job anymore. You will have the courage to do something yourself. Even housewives can earn money by doing some work at home. Learning to read and write will not only help you to earn money at home, but also to make money. In this way, the children will be able to get close to their mother, and at the same time, the mother will be able to earn money, without having to depend on anyone.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said today's initiative will bring recognition, respect and earn money in the society. It will even make a huge contribution to our economy. Boys and girls will go abroad and earn foreign currency, which will come to Bangladesh in the form of remittances. We also need to take into account who made how much money. They will take it themselves but we will get the account. How much money was made in this sector? It will also be a remittance. She said Bangladesh has moved forward, Bangladesh will move forward. They (young people) are making a huge contribution to our society. They will make more important contributions.
