UN Public Service Award: Cabinet resolution congratulates PM
The cabinet has adopted a resolution congratulating Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, as Bangladesh won the prestigious (UNSPA) 2020 in "Developing Transparent and Accountable Public Institutions".
The felicitation resolution was adopted at a cabinet meeting on June 8, while the Cabinet Division issued a gazette notification to this end on June 15, a handout said yesterday.
Bangladesh won the award for successfully implementing the land ministry's e-mutation programme.
On June 1, UN Under-Secretary-General for Economic and Social Affairs Liu Zhenmin informed Bangladesh Permanent Representative to the UN Ambassador Rabab Fatima about winning the award.
Zenmin said implementation of the e-mutation programme is a remarkable achievement for Bangladesh, and it will play a significant role in development of the country's public administration.
Bangladesh, for the first time, received the prestigious UN award.
According to the resolution, the cabinet believes that the dynamic leadership, wisdom, foresight and effective decisions of the PM helped achieve unprecedented successes.
The e-mutation programme aims to streamline management of land records with the help of technology. It will play an important role in building a digital Bangladesh by ensuring transparency and accountability in land services, according to authorities.
E-mutation is being implemented all over the country except three hill districts. The a2i project of the ICT Division is providing technical support to this end.
It is being implemented through the assistant commissioner (land) under management of Land Reform Board.
