On World Food Day, we renew our solemn commitment to the people who feed our nation - our farmers.
Bangladesh was built from their hands, nourished by their sacrifice, and strengthened by their resilience. From the fertile fields of Bogura to the ‘floating gardens’ of Barisal, every grain carries the story of their endurance and our collective future.
BNP believes that true food security is built through the partnership between government, farmers, entrepreneurs, and communities, working hand in hand to build a sustainable food system.
President Ziaur Rahman came to leadership in the shadow of famine and despair. He knew that national independence meant little without food security. Under his leadership, Bangladesh began its journey from dependence to dignity, expanding irrigation, canal restoration, and multiple cropping to feed a nation that once knew famine.
Prime Minister Begum Khaleda Zia carried that legacy forward into a new generation. Our farmers were empowered through fertiliser subsidies, rural electrification, and ‘Food-for-Work’ programs that revitalised the countryside and ensured no family was left hungry.
This is the foundation on which we now stand on.
Today, as Bangladesh faces rising food prices, water stress, and climate threats, we must continue to build on that foundation, not only for our own people but for all who seek safety and sustenance within our borders. Bangladesh is sheltering over 1.15 million Rohingya refugees, in the largest refugee camp in the world, where shrinking international aid has left families surviving on barely six dollars of food support per month. BNP believes urgent, collective action is needed from governments, international agencies, donor nations, and private partners to restore food assistance and strengthen livelihoods as the world seeks to reaffirm their commitment to solving the crisis collectively.
This stark reality reminds us of the growing food insecurity happening around the world, whether it is in Gaza, Sudan, Yemen, or at our very own doorsteps. In Bangladesh, our vision for food and farming must be as humane as it is innovative.
With new tools, technology, and resolve, the BNP envisions a food system that is built on partnership. Our model for food security honours the farmer, embraces innovation, and demands global responsibility, proving that a just and nourished Bangladesh can lead by example in a world facing hunger and uncertainty:
1. Farmers’ Card Initiative: secure digital identity giving farmers direct access to subsidies, credit, insurance, and fair prices.
2. Climate-Resilient Agriculture: restore rivers and canals, and build modern Teesta and Ganga barrages for water security.
3. Sustainable Rice Farming : promote water-saving, low-emission methods to earn carbon credits.
4. Nutrition & Empowerment: recognise women as leaders in food security through ‘Family Card’ and ‘Health for All’ programmes.
5. Agro-Economy & Jobs: create 1.3 million jobs, modernise storage, and promote youth-led agri-entrepreneurship.
6. Environment & Innovation: build a circular economy through recycling, renewable energy, and modern agricultural research.
In a world of growing uncertainty, Bangladesh can lead by example, proving that food security, sustainability, and dignity for farmers are not distant goals, but achievable realities.
Bangladesh’s strength has always been in the hands that till its soil. BNP will empower those same hands to shape the nation’s future.
Shahidul Alam’s bold step onto the Gaza flotilla is not just an act of solidarity, it is a roar of conscience. By carrying Bangladesh’s flag, he reminds the world of what the people of Bangladesh stand for - never bowing down to oppression and injustice. BNP stands with him and the people of Palestine, today and always.
A home is a basic human right. We all deserve a home that is safe, dignified, and secure. Our countryside, towns, cities, rivers, forests are all one habitat, and together they shape our future.
We cannot have a strong home in a broken environment, and we cannot build a prosperous nation without sustainable development. Today’s challenges of chaotic urban growth and climate risk demand bold, immediate action.
On this World Habitat Day, I want to reiterate the BNP’s 31-Point Plan as our roadmap to the solutions. Today, we emphasise two commitments:
• Point 29: Climate change and environmental protection
• Point 31: Planned, balanced urbanisation and decentralisation
We will end Dhaka-centric growth and build modern, well-planned cities so every region rises and every citizen benefits.
We’ll launch a National Green Mission, planting 250 million trees, restoring rivers, turning waste into resource, modernising farming, investing in renewable energy, and expanding the blue economy to create opportunities for our youth.
I pledge that BNP government will protect our habitat and preserve our future. Together, let’s build a greener, more sustainable Bangladesh.
Today on International Day of the Girl Child, let’s celebrate every girl’s right to dream, to learn, to lead, to live in dignity.
As a father to a daughter, I know that empowering girls is not just policy - it’s personal. Our vision for Bangladesh is one where every girl has the same freedom, opportunity, and safety that any parent would wish for their own child.
@bdbnp78 governments have a legacy of changing lives, and we recommit to doing more, if given the opportunity.
We saw how President Ziaur Rahman drove the growth of the garment sector to become more than an industry; it became hope. Millions of women entered formal work, gaining income, respect, and independence. Under his stewardship, the Ministry of Women's Affairs was created with the singular purpose of institutionalising the betterment of the lives of girls and women across Bangladesh.
Under Prime Minister Khaleda Zia’s leadership, education for girls became a right, not a privilege. Education was declared free up to Grade 10, and the ‘Food for Education, Cash for Education’ programmes kept millions of girls in school, shifting family destinies, building stronger communities, creating a generation of empowered women.
Her pioneering 'Female Secondary School Assistance Project' achieved gender parity for the first time in secondary schools in our history and reduced child marriages, going on to become a global model for girls’ education and empowerment, replicated in other developing countries.
These show bold steps that proved what’s possible when governance honours the dignity of girls and invests in their future.
BNP’s future policies continue to honour and invest, through:
1. “Family Cards” in the name of women heads of households - ensuring aid and support go directly to the backbone of every family
2. SME loans, business training and financial support for women entrepreneurs -because economic independence is non-negotiable
3. Stronger academic and vocational opportunities for girls - so that every girl, whether in village or city, can gain skills and build a future
4. Women at the table of decision-making – increased participation in politics, governance, policy. A safe nation demands no less
5. Protection of dignity and freedom - enabling daughters to move, speak, access the internet, live without fear
6. Family & social welfare as core policy - health, rural empowerment, jobs for all, with special focus on women and girls
We do not speak in empty rhetoric. We speak from conviction, backed by legacy and intention.
For every girl who dreams, we will make the state her partner, not her obstacle.

A Hindu sister says that she's happy and safe because the Muslim brothers are protecting their family and the family of others. The Indian propaganda will not work.
