Health and Family Welfare Minister Sardar Md Sakhawat Husain has praised Bashundhara Shuvosangho for its sustained efforts to improve society through education, humanitarian services, environmental conservation and women's empowerment.

The minister said social development requires more than infrastructure, stressing that effective initiatives to improve people's quality of life remain equally important. He said Bashundhara Shuvosangho has continued to carry out a wide range of public welfare programmes aimed at supporting education, protecting the environment and creating self-employment opportunities for underprivileged people.

He described the organisation's sewing machine distribution programme for disadvantaged women as a remarkable example of humanitarian service. He said the initiative helps women become financially independent while strengthening their families and contributing to the country's socio-economic development.

The minister also praised Bashundhara Shuvosangho for distributing tree saplings alongside sewing machines. He said the programme supports environmental conservation and promotes ecological balance, making it a timely and meaningful initiative.

Expressing his appreciation, Sakhawat thanked Bashundhara Shuvosangho for launching the sewing machine distribution programme in his constituency. He expressed hope that the initiative would help underprivileged women achieve financial independence and improve their families' living standards.

He also said the distributed saplings would contribute to building a greener and more liveable environment.

The minister expressed hope that Bashundhara Shuvosangho would continue its humanitarian and environmentally friendly programmes and play an even greater role in the country's development through its public welfare initiatives.
