To foster a scientific mindset among the younger generation, the parliamentary standing committee has strongly recommended organizing vibrant science fairs across schools and colleges nationwide, alongside initiatives to export indigenous technological innovations abroad.
These directives were issued on Wednesday (October 14, 2026) during the inaugural 1st meeting of the 13th Parliament’s Standing Committee on the Ministry of Science and Technology, held at the Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban. The meeting was presided over by Committee President and National Parliament Whip Ruhul Quddus Talukder Dulu, with Science and Technology Minister Fakir Mahbub Anam and committee members in attendance.
Following recitation from the Holy Quran and an introductory session, officials presented a detailed PowerPoint overview of ongoing projects across the ministry's affiliated agencies. Reviewing these activities, the committee emphasized awakening innovative talent among youth through regular school-level science fairs. Furthermore, discussions focused on bolstering economic growth by developing domestic technologies and promoting local innovations for international export to earn vital foreign exchange.
