The Savings Week-2018 (April 7-13) begins in the country today (Saturday) in a bid to create more awareness among the people about savings and further enhance the quality of services by the Department of National Savings.

The formal inauguration of the week will be held on Saturday morning at around 10:00 am at the Department of National Savings head office at the NSC tower in the city, said an official at the Department of National Savings.

When contacted, Director (Administration and Public Relations) of the Department of the National Savings Md Abu Taleb said the aim of holding Savings Week 2018 is to raise the sale of savings tools and thus build savings mindset among the people, especially among the students.
