During any crisis in the country, Bashundhara Group stands beside the people alongside the government. May social activities become more dynamic through Shuvosangho, and may Bashundhara Group become even more dedicated to the welfare of the people.” He wished Bashundhara Shuvosangho success in its greening initiatives.
