FBCCI greets PM on the achievement of 100% power coverage

FBCCI President Md Jashim Uddin has congratulated Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on her achievement of 100 per cent electrification in the country.

On Monday, Prime Minister Shiekh Hasina officially declared the 100 per cent power coverage at the inauguration ceremony of the country’s biggest Payra 1,320 MW thermal power plant with Ultra Super Critical technology.

In a congratulatory message, the FBCCI president said that the prime minister had promised to illuminate every house with electricity. She has fulfilled the promise in the year of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s birth centenary and the golden jubilee of independence of Bangladesh. Prime minister’s far-sighted plan and successful implementation brought Bangladesh under the 100 per cent power coverage.

He said that economic activities in the remote areas are developing as a result of electrification. Local employment has been created through new business ventures resulting in a development in all sectors including education, health, agriculture and industry. The lifestyle of the people in the backward areas has also changed. At the same time, this initiative has paved the way for balanced development across the country.

The FBCCI president firmly believes that the other development goals of the government would be implemented on time just like the achievement of 100 per cent power coverage and Bangladesh would emerge as a developed country by 2041.
