News and Events of BJMC
Web site Matters.
Honorable Prime Minister re-opened the closed Peoples Jute Mills of Khulna in the name of Khalishpur Jute Mills Ltd. on 05-03-2011 and Qaumi Jute Mills Ltd. Sirajganj in the name of Jatiya Jute Mills Ltd. on 09-04-2011.
A proposal for establishment of a 50 loom specialized jute mill in the premises of 2nd unit of closed Adamjee Jute Mills in Narayanganj for producing high value diversified jute products is under active consideration of the Govt.
Jute sector is a labor-intensive industry. Re-opening of 2 jute mills facilitated employment opportunity for about 7,200 man powers. Further, 3,026 terminated workers were re-appointed and 1,256 officer & staffs and 3230 permanent labors and 21,700 daily basis workers were newly appointed in the running Mills and Head office of BJMC.
To ensure higher domestic consumption of raw jute and jute goods the present Govt has passed an Act for Mandatory use of jute goods in Packaging on 12th October, 2010.This will bring stability to the raw jute price, ensure market & reasonable price of raw jute to the farmers and most importantly increase the bargaining power for exports of jute goods in the world market.
BJMC has restarted the two training centre situated in Chittagong (at Gul Ahmed Jute Mills) and Jessore ( at Jessore Jute Industries). The newly appointed officers and staff of BJMC & mills are given basic management and job oriented trainings to increase the knowledge and efficiency of the new recruits. Moreover, refreshers course for serving officers and staff will also be started very soon.
Every year BJMC opens more than 125 jute purchase centres through out the jute growing areas of Bangladesh. These centres besides ensuring fair price of raw jute to the farmers also creates employment for a good number of seasonal workers in the centres for carrying, handling, transportation of raw jute purchased.
7. Future Plan:
a) Establishment of jute based pulp/paper mill:
Encouraged by fair price, the farmers are producing more jute every year. This may at one point generate an unmanageable surplus of jute resulting into price collapse. To avoid such a situation and also to ensure stable market for increased domestic production of jute one option could be producing pulp/paper from jute.

CARE, USAID Event to Highlight Dramatic Drop in Child Malnutrition in Bangladesh
They'll provide an inside look at a program called SHOUHARDO that combined nutritional support with women's empowerment initiatives to reduce child stunting, a key measure of malnutrition, by 28 percent in less than four years. That's twice the rate of the average U.S. government-funded food aid project of its kind.
The event, to be held at the National Press Club, will include remarks from Dr. Helene Gayle, president and CEO of CARE USA, Faheem Khan, head of SHOUHARDO, Denise Rollins, deputy administrator for Asia at USAID, and Anne Marie Golla, senior evaluation expert at International Center for Research on Women. The panel also will present testimonials from five Bangladeshi families who participated in the program.
Implemented by CARE from 2004 to 2010, the first phase of SHOUHARDO was the largest non-emergency USAID food security program in the world. It holds particular significance in light of the President's fiscal year 2013 request of $56.2 billion for the international affairs budget, which represents an increase of 2.4 percent – or $1.3 billion – over fiscal year 2012. As the foreign aid budget comes up for discussion this year, SHOUHARDO demonstrates how effective programs and partnerships can make a sustainable impact on the lives of women, men and children.
The program was designed to reduce malnutrition among 2 million of the poorest people in Bangladesh. Researchers found that women who participated in empowerment interventions to help them fight sexual harassment, move about their communities more freely and gain a greater say in household decisions were less likely to have stunted children than women who received only direct nutrition interventions such as regular food rations.
In other words, the children of empowered women actually grew taller.
The astounding results of the SHOUHARDO program also come as USAID leads a social media campaign called "Every Child Deserves a 5th Birthday." With almost 7 million children dying before the fifth birthdays, the campaign strives to stop these preventable deaths.

Banks asked to open donation accounts for Padma Bridge
The central bank of Bangladesh has asked all commercial banks to open collection accounts on behalf of the government to receive donation for implementation of the Padma Bridge project, officials said.
Two accounts - one for local currency and another for foreign - will be opened with the state-owned Sonali Bank Local Office to receive the money deposited with the banks.
The Bangladesh Bank (BB), the country’s central bank, issued a circular in this connection on Wednesday and asked the chief executives and managing directors of all commercial banks to open the accounts properly.
“The banks will open collection accounts at all their branches on behalf of the government and will maintain those until further notice,” the BB said in the circular.
Talking to BBN, a BB senior official said the central bank has issued the circular in line with the advice of the Ministry of Finance.
The scheduled banks will provide such services without any charges, he said, adding that anyone can give their donation to the accounts, opened at any bank branches.
One of the accounts will be titled "Voluntary donation (residents) for construction of the Padma Bridge" where local currency will be deposited.
Another account will be a foreign currency account in the same title in the overseas and authorised dealer (AD) branches of all banks for receiving grants from the non-resident Bangladeshis (NRBs).
The circular also said any expatriate can send their grant through any bank abroad or AD branch of any Bangladeshi bank through exchange houses.
"All banks will have to submit monthly financial statement on donation to the central bank and forward a copy to the executive director of the Bangladesh Bridge Authority to ensure proper monitoring of the fund," the central banker noted.
"The deposited money would not be allowed to be spent on other purposes, and the Bridge Division will inform the Prime Minister's Office, the Finance Division and the Planning Commission about the status of the accounts and collected money after every three months," the finance ministry said in a notification earlier.
If any amount of the collected fund remains unutilised after the implementation of the project, it (the amount) will be spent on other infrastructure development work or to be deposited with the Consolidated Fund, it added.
