Awami League (AL) President Sheikh Hasina yesterday pledged to involve the youth in the transfor-mation and development of Bangladesh with the slogan “The Power of Youth- Prosperity of Bangla-desh”.
“If Awami League is elected, the youth will be involved in the transformation and development of Bang-ladesh. Employment opportunities will be expanded for work-worthy, qualified youth,” she said while declaring the AL’s election manifesto in a city hotel yesterday ahead of the 12th national elections slated
for January 7.
She said self-employment will be arranged in the village to reduce the tendency of the village youth to move towards the city.
As many as 31 lakh youth will be trained in the district and upazila levels and the programme will con-tinue supporting their self-employment, she added.
