Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Tuesday (11 June) said the houses being given free of costs under the Ashrayan projects are bringing self-dignity and self-respect for the homeless and landless people.
"Houses are being given free of cost under various Ashrayan projects. So, the living standard of the landless and homeless people has changed which brought self-dignity for them and made them self-confident. It is important for Bangladesh's development," she said.
The premier made the remarks while handing over 18,566 more houses to homeless and landless families as gift before Eid across the country under the government's flagship housing programme-Ashrayan-2 Prakalpa to ensure housing for all.
She said her government's main duty is to serve the people as they have kept confidence in the Awami League and voted the her party to power time and again.
"Our duty is to serve the people. My father announced himself as the servant of the people. I am also working as the servant of the people following the footprints of my father," she said.
The prime minister said her government is working to give the people a beautiful and improved life as dreamt by the Father of the Nation.
