Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Sunday urged researchers to put more emphasis on functional research for Bangladesh's socio-economic development.
"It would be unwise to carry out research only for the sake of research. It has to be meaningful," she said while inaugurating the Designated Reference Institute for Chemical Measurements (DRICM).
"Researches will have to be carried with the goal of the country's socio-economic development," Hasina added.
The Bangladesh Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (BCSIR) set up the lone international standards chemical measurement institute on its Dhanmondi campus in Dhaka.
The Prime Minister said the nation needed practical research so that innovations were available and the common people could use it.
"We need befitting and sustainable research so that innovations are available and the common people can adopt them so that it helps boost agricultural and industrial production; so that maximum productivity, area and quality of services are increased; highest application of local resources and capabilities is ensured," she said.
Hasina said the newly installed facility will test foods, beverages and medicines. This institute will give prescription for quality control of the industries.
In this age of globalisation, she said, it was necessary to maintain quality to remain competitive. "The entrepreneurs will get necessary quality control assistance from this institute."
She called on the scientists, researchers, teachers, students to come forward to ensure highest productivity in the industrial and service sectors by utilising information and technology.
She paid tribute to the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman saying he had set up the BCSIR in 1973 for scientific research and innovating suitable technology for industrial sector. He had also gathered top scientists.
The Prime Minister cited various innovations of the BCSIR. The arsenic detection and removal kit, formalin detection kit, biogas plants and modified fuel efficient ovens developed by the institute have been a hit with the people. "These innovations are assisting in uplifting standards of the people's lives."
She also urged all to ulitise environment friendly technology in combating global warming and climate change risks and emphasised research in this sector.
"Our aim is to build a hunger and poverty free, rich, peaceful, modern science and technology-based Bangladesh within 2021. Through it we will build the Golden Bengal as envisioned by the Father of the Nation."
To reach that goal, she said, scientists, researchers, peasants, entrepreneurs and others will have to work together.
State Minister for Science and Technology Yeafesh Osman presided over the programme.
