STAR Day At A Glance | Friday, March 9, 2018

Parts of the capital Dhaka were decked out in jute promotion as the National Jute Day was observed for the second time with the slogan: "Sonali Asher Sonali Desh, Pat Ponne Bangladesh". Jute, also known as the golden fibre, was once the country's highest foreign currency earner. Now, a revival is in the offing as jute's uses have been diversified over the years and Jute Diversification Centre currently has 233 different types of jute products. Photo: Anisur Rahman/ STAR
