Gopalganj: Bangladesh Bank (BB) Governor Fazle Kabir on Saturday urged the next generation to become entrepreneurs and set up self-employed industrial units for taking forward the country's economy towards the development goals of Vision-2021 and Vision-2041. 

"We can build the country as a developed one within 2041 through creating more entrepreneurs," he said while addressing as the chief guest a conference on school banking at Swimming Pool and Gymnasium Auditorium in the district. 

The governor said BB is encouraging the commercial banks to open up newer branches in rural areas for spreading businesses across the country. 

"Students deposit in the bank through school banking. The students will also exercise the same practice when they will become entrepreneurs or enter into any professions," he added. 

Among others, BB's Executive Director Mijanur Rahman Joddar and United Commercial Bank (UCB) Managing Director Muhammed Ali were present in the conference.

UCB Additional Managing Director Mirza Mahmud Rafiqur Rahman presided over the function.
