Food minister Advocate Quamrul Islam has claimed that the number of women and children suffering from malnutrition.
Decreased due to the increase in the income and purchasing power of the people, and the number of beggars also decreased.He said this at a seminar on 'Food and Food Rights for women and girls in the children' at CIRDAP auditorium in the capital on Tuesday noon.
Kamrul Islam said, with the previous figures, the current situation will not be considered. As the discrimination of women and children is decreased, the numbers of people suffering from malnutrition also decreased. In view of the Prime Minister's initiative, we have been able to reduce all disparities to ensure safe food. And now the beggar is not seen in the street.
He also said that a few years ago, a rickshaw puller had to spend the day on which to earn one and a half kg of rice. And now it is possible to purchase 8 to 10 kg of rice a day with the rickshaw puller's income. Therefore, it is understood that the purchasing power of the people has increased. Farmers get their fair prices too.
