Shamima : A model for others
At first, I would congratulate Shamima for winning the Global Microcredit Entrepreneurship Award. She has brightened the image of our country and again proved that Bangladesh is an example of micro-credit playing a great role in alleviating poverty.
Bangladesh is a developing country and poverty is the main problem here. Actually, poverty frustrates all development efforts of our country. It creates other problems too. To alleviate poverty, empowerment of women and unemployment reduction are necessary.
The planners and decision makers should not lose sight of these goals.
