If BNP comes to power, it will give the most importance to the information technology sector. Young people with a minimum SSC pass will be given jobs in the IT sector.

It will not be delayed even a day. Those who are interested in investing in agriculture will be provided with opportunities. BNP will also work towards exporting agricultural products abroad.
