"Now the students of even rural areas do not need to go to the upazila and district headquarters for their results as it could be known through a simple SMS from mobile phone," she said.

Responding to a demand of a student of Rajshahi Government Women College during the videoconferencing, the Prime Minister instantly announced that a hostel for the students of the college would be built.
