Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Wednesday asked the government officials to reach the people and work for them, saying all activities of her government for welfare of the country's people.
"I urge all of you (government officials) to stand beside the people and work for the people. Our goal is very clear (to do welfare for people)," she said, BSS reported.
Sheikh Hasina was addressing a dinner arranged on the occasion of the conference of Bangladesh Administrative Service Association (BASA) at Bangabandhu International Conference Centre in the city.
Referring to the election manifesto of Bangladesh Awami League, she said "We've given the election manifesto. We came (to power) giving promises with this manifesto. The country has been changed following implementation of the manifesto".
The premier said that in the last 15 years, the country has witnessed changes because the Awami League government followed the manifesto while giving the national budget.
"We want our programme to be people centric," she added.
Sheikh Hasina said that her government wants to build transparent, accountable, people's welfare oriented, data-driven automated, efficient and smart administration.
"We are determined to establish good governance and you have to do that so the people get quality service," she added.
The prime minister said that it is her government's job to reduce the sufferings of the people. So, it is needed more to do market monitoring, conducting mobile courts, recovering government property, holding public hearings, establishing smart land management and implementing social security programmes etc.
She went on, "Following my father's footstep, I consider myself not as the prime minister, but a servant of the people".
