Bappi Sardar, Founder and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Sabuj Andolan said, Every year we try to give Greenman Award to worthy and skilled people. Bangladesh of the future will be more prosperous and knowledge dependent if the work is recognized. However, due to the low budget for research in the state, the nation is becoming talentless day by day. Developed countries give more importance to research sector, which is opposite in our country. I appeal to the present government to make the budget of the Ministry of Forest, Environment and Climate adequate.
