UNB, Dhaka :
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Thursday said her government considers relaxing the age limit of the researchers engaged in specific researches so that they could complete their works.
“We want to give a chance to the researchers to complete their research works so that age can’t be a bar to their works. But, we won’t do it wholesale…then all would turn researchers.
We would only make a special arrangement for those conducting specific researches,” she said.
Hasina was addressing a function marking the distribution of cheques of Bangabandhu Fellowship, National Science &
Technology Fellowship and financial grants to researchers and students at Osmani Memorial Auditorium in the capital.
State Minister for Science and Technology Architect Yeafesh Osman presided over the function while Acting Secretary of the Ministry AKM Amir Hossain gave the welcome address organised by the Ministry of Science and Technology. The Prime Minister also said the government is now planning and thinking how it could do the special arrangement in this regard. “I always think that researches could open up new doors for us.”
