Chief of Army Staff General Moeen U Ahmed on Thursday said
"Collective efforts of the countrymen can act as the key for country's
development," he said while addressing a meeting at Hajipur village
under Begumganj upazila in the district.
He said if the local rich could create employment for youths in their
respective areas through building cooperatives, unemployment would not
exist any more across the country.
Among others, General Officer Commanding (GOC) of Comilla Major Gen
Anwar Hossen, District Deputy Commissioner Abdul Huq, chief of district
army unit Colonel Ezaz Hakim Afridi were present on the occasion.
Earlier, Gen. Moeen inaugurated integrated milk farm, biogas plant,
mushroom cultivation and duck rearing projects of Ahmed Multipurpose
Cooperative Society. He also released fish fry at Hajipur Union Parisad
pond.
Moeen donated Taka 15 lakh, earned as royalty from one of his published
books to the cooperative for running the projects. The Ahmed Cooperative
is also supported by a local NGO Dip Unnayan Sangstha.
A total of 120 families would get electricity from the biogas plant.
Organic fertiliser, producing from the plant, would help the local
farmers to increase their crop production.
General Moeen is now on a two-day visit in the area.
