Moheshpur Upazila Nirbahi Officer (UNO) Md Sajjad Hossain has visited Habibur Nursery and Fruit Garden in Begumpur village, ward 1 of Moheshpur municipality in Jhenaidah.
During the visit he looked around the garden’s fruit trees of various species and its cultivation. People in the area who are without work because of unemployment, and those drawn into social problems such as drug addiction, can build themselves up as entrepreneurs if they wish, he said. By creating self-employment through fruit gardens and farming, they can become self-reliant and also make an important contribution to the country’s economy and national development.
He added that if young people can be involved in productive work such as farming and fruit growing, it can play a positive role in preventing unemployment and drug addiction.
The owner of the nursery and fruit garden, Habibur Rahman, said he would gladly help anyone who wants to buy fruit saplings from his nursery or needs advice and help on growing China oranges. He promised to stand by growers with advice at every stage, from getting saplings to growing the fruit.
People involved say such efforts to build farming entrepreneurs locally will help unemployed young people become self-reliant while raising farm output and strengthening the rural economy.
