The banking sector is now playing more effective role in eradicating poverty, the central bank governor has said. “In developing education and health, removing environmental catastrophe and eliminating poverty, the banking sector is performing more effective role than before,” Dr Atiur Rahman told a stipend distribution ceremony on Tuesday.
The event was organised by Bangladesh Bank Employees Co-operative Credit Society Ltd, with its chairman Dr Abul Kalam Azad in the chair.
The Society distributed Tk 8 lakh stipend among 232 students who became successful in the examination of PSC, JSC, SSC and HSC in 2010 for the third time.
