Lauding this initiative of Bashundhara Group and Shuvosangho, additional district commissioner AKM Hedayetul Islam said, “Gaibandha is one of the poverty-stricken areas of the country. Here, women and children are particularly affected by various natural disasters, including river erosion. When a woman is self-reliant, the children of that family can shine in the light of good education. They can dream of a beautiful life. Sewing training can be a beacon on the path of self-reliance for distressed women.”'
