The Postal department’s mobile financial service Nagad has announced a partnership with Bangla Academy. Under this partnership, book enthusiasts will now be able to purchase books from Bangla Academy and make payment for the executive council’s yearly membership fee through Nagad.
Bangla Academy, Bangladesh Post Office and Nagad Limited inked an agreement in this regard at Bangla Academy on Wednesday, Nagad said in a statement. Bangladesh Postal Department Director General Md Siraz Uddin, Bangla Academy Secretary AHM Lokman and Nagad Executive Director Md Shafayet Alam were present at the occasion.
Through this agreement, the bills of Bangla Academy’s sales and marketing section can now be paid via the country’s popular mobile financial service Nagad. As a consequence, customers and publishers from all across the country will be able to use their Nagad wallets to pay for any books purchased from Bangla Academy.
This will potentially eliminate the need to carry cash while traveling from their district city to Dhaka, providing the book enthusiasts with a hassle-free experience.
Bangla Academy Director General Mohammad Nurul Huda said, “Bangladesh is now using the internet as a major tool of exchange and communication. The agreement between Nagad and Bangla Academy will play a vital role. Especially, in delivering books to people in remote areas.”
Apart from this, around 5,000 members of the Executive Council of Bangla Academy can pay their annual membership fees through Nagad, under this agreement. Consequently, around 5,000 members of the executive council, including the chancellor, vice-chancellors and principals of various colleges across the country, will be able to pay their yearly fees.
