Commendable poverty reduction in Bangladesh
Recent World Bank poverty estimates reflect the remarkable achievements made by Bangladesh. From 40 million poor people seven years ago, the figure has come down to 28 million today.
We must salute the two heroes behind this success for their continuous efforts in poverty eradication – Professor Dr. Mohammad Yunus with Grameen Bank and Sir Fazle Hasan Abed with BRAC.
We must also show our gratitude to the people of Bangladesh who are the main catalyst behind this great change.
