Ruma is one of 100 underprivileged women across Mymensingh and Netrokona districts who have been given a pathway toward financial independence. Organized by Bashundhara Shuvosangho, the initiative selected 20 women each from Nandail and Gauripur upazilas in Mymensingh, and Barhatta, Sadar, and Durgapur upazilas in Netrokona. The program provided rigorous three-month tailoring instruction followed by the distribution of sewing machines to generate self-employment and establish long-term economic stability.
The concluding ceremony of the program was held recently at the Comrade Moni Singh Smriti Museum Auditorium in Durgapur, Netrokona. Renowned author, Advisor to Bashundhara Group, and Head of Bashundhara Shuvosangho, Imdadul Haq Milan, attended as the chief guest.
