No qualified people are unemployed in the country: Salman F Rahman
Claiming that there is no unemployment in Bangladesh, Salman Fazlur Rahman, the Private Investment Advisor to Prime Minister said, we have a shortage of skilled workers in manufacturing like the garment sector. There is still want of manpower in harvesting agricultural crops. No student of BUET, IBA is unemployed. Those trained in ICT are also not unemployed. Those who graduate without career planning are only unemployed.
So, he advised to graduate by understanding the market demand before graduating.
He gave this suggestion at a round table discussion meeting organized by Venture Capital and Private Equity Association of Bangladesh (VCPIAB) held at a hotel in the capital on Sunday.
Criticizing NBR, he said that they only squeeze those who pay tax. But, does not increase the tax net.
State Minister for Posts, Telecommunications and Information Technology Zunaid Ahmed Palak was present as a special guest in this discussion titled Investment Climate for Smart Bangladesh; Chairman Parliamentary Standing Committee on Posts, Telecommunications and Information Technology Kazi Nabil Ahmed, Members of Parliament Ferdous Ahmed and Zara Mahbub were present at the event.
