The 55th National Cooperative Day was celebrated in Khagrachari with the theme 'We will make cooperatives, build a country, Bangladesh for everyone'.
On Sunday, a colorful rally started from the Khagrachhari Government High School premises and after parading the main road of the city, we met again in the school auditorium for a discussion meeting.
On the occasion of the day, the national flag was hoisted, a colourful procession, discussion meeting and tree plantation were organized.
The chairman of the Khagrachhari Hill District Council, Mrasa Thoai Marma, was the chief guest under the chairmanship of District Cooperative Officer Muhammad Mujib Ur Rahman Khan.
The speakers at the meeting said that cooperatives are not limited to savings and loans only, but cooperatives are one of the tools in building a self-reliant nation. By converting small savings into large capital, employment generation, poverty alleviation and sustainable development of the local economy are possible. Therefore, cooperative societies must be further strengthened through transparency, accountability and active participation of members through joint efforts.
At the end of the discussion, awards were presented to the best seven cooperative societies and the best three cooperative individuals in the district.
