Speakers at a function underscored the need for creating anti corruption sentiment among the people, particularly the young future generation of the country, to lead the nation towards desired development.
Prevention of corruption is not possible by enacting laws, in this context, district corruption prevention committee (DCPC), Gaibandha and the integrity unit could play significant role to eradicate corruption from the society, they viewed.
They made the comments while addressing a workshop on the role of corruption prevention committee and the integrity unit at the conference room of district collectorate building in Gaibandha.

Many recommendations were also adopted from comments made by the participants during the group discussion sessions on how the DCPC could be more dynamic side by side with making the formation of integrity unit at different academic institutions successful.
DC M. Abdus Samad said corruption must be resisted through collective efforts of all quarters and the students of the academic institutions should be briefed about anti corruption sentiment from childhood to build a corruption free country.
