Allowance, VGF cards and stipends
OH Kabir Dhaka-1203
For sometime now, our government is giving old age/widow allowance to some poor aged persons and destitute widows and also issuing VGF card to help mitigate the sufferings of the poverty stricken people. It is also offering free primary education and stipend to students.There are no prescribed rules, regulations and procedures for granting of old age/widow allowance, issuance of VGF card, free primary education and students' stipend and, as such, many deserving men, women and children are being deprived of the financial help and assistance which our government has allotted and made provisions for the needy and destitute people. And so it is alleged that the government fund is being misused and misappropriated. We strongly demand of our government to let the members of the public know clearly the procedures, rules and regulations and to streamline the grant of old age/widow allowance, issuance of VGF card, free primary education and stipend for students without further delay.
