Good to see BD taking defence seriously.
Nothing serious. Defence budget increased by 400 million dollar compared to last year.But this is routine increase. Actually our defence budget as a percentage of total budget or GDP has not increased at all in the last 10 years, rather deceased somewhat.

With a view to establishing one technical school at each upazila to create skilled manpower in Bangladesh, construction of technical schools in 100 upazilas at a cost of Tk. 2, 281.69 crore in the preliminary phase is underway, he said.

The minister said necessary budget has been allocated to develop land survey education in Bangladesh, construct polytechnic institutes in 23 districts, and implement projects to enhance the capacity of 64 technical schools and colleges under the Directorate of Technical Education.

Kamal said the government has taken numerous steps for the development and modernization of madrasa education.

Infrastructures of Madrasas will be developed and multimedia will be set up in classrooms while a total of 1,800 new madrasas are being established in the country, he added.

He said the government has allocated Tk. 9,000 crore in FY 2019-20 for development projects in the secondary and higher education sector, which is 54 percent higher than that in FY 2018-19.

Great to see spending on education is targeted at 3% of GDP.
It needs to go even higher.

India is the natural home of Hindus... they will continue to pour in NE as long as NE remains under Indian Union. If you are a native North Easterner you should know by now what you need to do to stop the influx... ;)

But nowhere in Indian constitution, it's stated that India is the natural home for Hindus .

If BD would just take care of their civilians and kept a tab of them like a responsible gov should,the civilians would spread cross border like the uncontrolled pest .

Yes, we have ministry of religious affairs. But they do not control Madrasa education. Their tasks mainly consists of building Mosque and other Islamic institutes, training Imams, managing Hajj, building religious structures for minority religious communities etc. Madrasa education is the responsibility of education ministry in Bangladesh.
