M Faruqi Hasan, Director of the Bank & Chairman of Risk Management Committee were also present at the ceremony along with other Directors, Deputy Managing Directors and other High Officials.

The speakers said, today’s donated 01 taka will be multiplied hundreds of times on the Doomsday and will be deposited in the deeds of the Waqif (donor) as Sadaqah-e-Jariyah. The bank will continue working for the Waqif after his or her death even if there is no one in the world for the otherworldly welfare of the Waqif.
