Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) Affairs Adviser Supradip Chakma on Friday said there is no alternative to ensuring the quality education in the hilly region to remain competitive with the country’s mainstream.
“To compete with the national mainstream, ensuring quality education in the Chittagong Hill Tracts area is a must,” he said.
The adviser made this remark while addressing a workshop at the conference room of the Rangamati Hill District Council on enhancing skills related to the Grievance Redress System (GRS).
He emphasised improving the standard of living in the hilly districts and encouraged women entrepreneurs to come forward to promote self-employment among women.
“Development should not be limited to district headquarters; it must be visible in all upazilas of the district,” he said adding it is essential to ensure proper monitoring of the implementation of the development initiatives.
Supradip urged all concerned at the Ministry of Chittagong Hill Tracts Affairs, the CHT Development Board, the CHT Regional Council, and the Hill District Councils to always follow Cabinet instructions.
Speaking at the workshop, CHT Affairs Secretary Md Abdul Khaleque said the government introduced the GRS system to ensure service delivery for people. “This workshop aims to enhance the skills of people in remote areas,” he said.
