Human resource dev needed for progress
UNB
Eminent economist Dr Wahiduddin Mahmud yesterday stressed importance of human resource development for the overall progress of any country, especially Bangladesh. He also expressed cautions against taking up development projects that devastate the environment, reports UNB.
Dr Wahiduddin came up with the remark while presiding over launching of a book titled Agamidiner Bangladesh (Future Bangladesh) organised by Banglar Pathshala Foundation at the National Press Club.
To develop any country, especially a country like Bangladesh, development of human resources is needed for the development of masses, said the economist. He further added that accountability, good governance, technological development and skill development are also important for the countrys overall progress.
A long-term planning to reach the desired development through a realistic way is a big challenge for Bangladesh, he observed.
The book Agamidiner Bangladesh contains articles by experts of different disciplines which were discussed on January 12 in 2017 in a symposium. The symposium was arranged to talk on recently published 10 books focusing development related issues of Bangladesh by prominent economist Dr Nazrul Islam.
Dr Nazrul Islam, also present in the programme, said that an overall turnaround is needed to bring changes in development sector as the discrimination between rich and poor in the society is increasing day by day.
