He said the Premier has noted that the Aman paddy harvest was good while more attention should be given to the Boro output.
Noting that many problems may come in the country's march forward, Sheikh Hasina urged all concerned to remain alert to face those in a concentrated manner.
Renewing her directive to the implementing ministries and divisions as well as executing agencies to pursue austerity in spending funds while implementing projects, the Premier also asked them to implement the projects in a more comprehensively planned way.
Sheikh Hasina directed the authorities concerned to complete those projects which speedily are near completion as well as complete those projects which would create more employment.

He also said that the Prime Minister also emphasized skills development.
