UNB, Dhaka :
The government has taken a number of initiatives, including setting up of technical training centres, specialised hospitals, residential schools, housing projects and a specialised insurance company, for the welfare of Bangladeshi expatriates who are greatly contributing to the country’s economy.
According to an official document, a project is under implementation to set up 40 technical training centres in 40 upazilas across the country in the first phase.
Steps have been taken to construct 50 more training centres in 50 upazilas. “Gradually, training centres will be set up in all the upazials,” the document shows.
It also says the government will construct two modern specialised hospitals (diagnostic hospitals) in Dhaka and Chittagong giving priority to the treatment of homecoming expatriates and their family members. Besides, there will be reserved seats in all the government hospitals for them.
There will be two residential schools in Dhaka and Chittagong in the first phase for ensuring education to the children of expatriates and of those returning home.
The government is also contemplating preserving a quota for the children of expatriates in educational institutions at all levels.
The document mentions that the government will take housing projects in the districts where the number of expatriates is comparatively higher.
