In the history of socio-economic and political rule Bangladeshi people got rulers who are pro people.

During Bangabandhu’s tenure, idea, creativity and innovation lead to entrepreneurial triggering. As per his instruction BRAC started functioning as a pioneer of rural development in Bangladesh after independence.
