BSS
Development activists and volunteers in Rajshahi have stressed on marginalised population access to green banking services for promotion of renewable energies in grassroots level, reports BSS.
They advocated for making the existing bank loan conditions towards solar system, biogas plant, vermicomposting and dairy and cattle farming easy so that the marginal people can derive total benefits of the loans.
They were addressing a public dialogue styled Marginalised Population Access to Green Banking Services held at BRDB conference hall of Tanore Upazila Parishad in the district yesterday.
Tanore Upazila administration and Bangladesh Resource Center for Indigenous Knowledge (BARCIK), a collective initiative for participatory research, policy advocacy and campaign, jointly organised the dialogue.
With Upazila Nirbahi Officer Shawkat Ali in the chair, Shahidul Islam, Researcher and Barind Regional Coordinator of BARCIK, said Bangladesh Bank has introduced green banking in the country for the first time to save the nature and environment.
