Bangladesh should strive for sovereignty like Iran or else its just not going to work!

Stupid Bangladeshi people need to understand how to gain sovereignty. Not by watching cricket or bollywood or erthaghrul chutiya turkish/ pakistani dramay.

Hasina has made a significant chunk of the Bangladeshi population addicted to Bollywood cheap movies. Dr. Yunus should put more efforts to reverse that. To emulate Iran we need leaders of the same caliber which we don't have right now.

Several ministries and divisions have proposed a total of eight projects, with a combined estimated cost of over Tk 38.13 billion, for honouring and rehabilitating the participants and victims of the July 2024 student-led anti-discrimination uprising.

The initiatives have been taken to address social protection, economic empowerment, housing, and commemorative needs of those injured, bereaved, or otherwise affected by the historic movement, according to a senior official of the Planning Commission.

All of these projects submitted by six different ministries have been included in the Annual Development Programme (ADP) for the upcoming fiscal year without approval and allocation in order to expedite the approval process.

An analysis of the ADP book reveals that several agencies under the Ministry of Social Welfare, Ministry of Women and Children Affairs, Ministry of Housing and Public Works, Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, Ministry of Youth and Sports, and the Ministry of Liberation War Affairs are slated to implement these projects.

The National Housing Authority under the Ministry of Housing and Public Works will spend the highest Tk 27.22 billion to implement two separate projects with an aim of providing permanent housing facilities to the families of those who were injured and martyred in the July Movement.

Under the projects a total of 25 fourteen-storey residential buildings in Sections 9 and 16 of Dhaka's Mirpur area will be built. These flats are intended to be provided free of cost to the families of martyrs and those seriously injured during the July 2024 uprising.

According to the project proposal, each martyr's family will receive a 1,250 square feet flat, while individuals classified as Class A injured will be allotted 1,000 square feet flats each.

The project sites will feature essential amenities, including educational institutions, mosques, markets, community centers, playgrounds, roads, and full utility services such as water, gas, and electricity.

Construction is expected to begin this year, with the flats scheduled for handover by June 2029, a senior official of the National Housing Authority confirmed.

The Ministry of Social Welfare proposed a project titled "Social Safety Inclusion and Self-reliance for Victims of the Anti-Discrimination Student-People's Movement" at an estimated cost of Tk 750 million.

The project is aimed at providing social safety net support, financial aid, and empowerment services to victims who were injured or socially and economically affected. The Department of Social Services (DSS) will implement the project by December 2027.

Recognizing the gender-specific vulnerabilities during the movement, the Ministry of Women and Children Affairs has proposed a project worth Tk 2.50 billion to identify and support women who suffered during the July uprising.

Under the supervision of the Department of Women Affairs, the project is aimed at ensuring targeted psychosocial support, health services, and reintegration opportunities for affected women.

The government is also focused on documenting and archiving the uprising as part of the national historical record. The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting proposed two projects involving estimated costs of Tk 963.95 million. The Bangladesh Film Archive will receive Tk 491.1 million for the collection and preservation of audiovisual documentation from both domestic and international sources related to the uprising.

The Department of Archives and Libraries will establish a digital oral history archive with an allocation of Tk 472.85 million. The archive will preserve the voices and experiences of victims, witnesses, and participants for future generations.

The Ministry of Youth and Sports, through the Department of Youth Development, has outlined a project titled "Socio-Economic Empowerment of Injured and Martyred Families through Skills Training and Self-Employment Creation".

With an allocation of Tk 6.50 billion, this initiative will offer vocational training and startup support to ensure long-term economic rehabilitation for affected individuals.

To honour those who lost their lives, the Ministry of Liberation War Affairs has proposed a Tk 200 million project to construct epitaphs at the burial sites of those martyred in the July 2024 uprising.

This symbolic gesture is aimed at formally recognising the sacrifices made and preserve their memory, reveal the project documents.

The projects represent a comprehensive, multi-ministerial effort to respond to the wide-ranging impact of the July 2024 uprising, which was driven by students and supported by broader civil society to protest against systemic discrimination.​
