Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday called upon the agriculture scientists to carry out research by keeping focus on the farmers to bring about more success in the sector.
“The success of your creation depends on how much the framers are taking from the results of the research…so conduct research by giving priority to their interest which would benefit the sector.”
She made the call while inaugurating a three-day agriculture technology fair at Bangladesh Agriculture Research Institute (BARI) at Joydevpur.
“We don't want to remain dependent on others, we want to be self-reliant and build Bangladesh as a self-dependent nation,” she said, adding, “No country can progress obeying the directives and conditions imposed by of the donors.”
The prime minister urged the agri scientists to carry out research to solve the problems that have arisen due to global climate change.
“The agriculture sector is constantly facing threat due to global climate changes. So I also call upon you to solve the problems after identifying the possible challenges,” she said.
Sheikh Hasina stressed the need for innovation of flood, drought and salinity-tolerant varieties of crops side by side with increasing extensiveness of crops.
The prime minister also gave emphasis on carrying out research by the agri scientists on the subjects suitable for application in the country.
“You will have to give more importance on the practical research than the academic research,” she told the scientists.
Sheikh Hasina said agriculture is the main driving force of Bangladesh's economy and it is the heart of the country.
Sheikh Hasina said her government has been working tirelessly to build Bangladesh as a non-communal, democratic and peaceful developed country, which would also be self-reliant in agriculture.
