Providing free healthcare to 1,600 people together is undoubtedly a commendable initiative. Besides, by organizing the world-famous Turkish Food Fair in the rural environment, the people here have been given an opportunity to get acquainted with the global culture.”

He also said, “The Smart Technologies (BD) Ltd. has been playing an important role in realizing the dream of the Honourable Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina of the Government of the People's Republic of Bangladesh in building Digital Bangladesh. They are not limiting themselves only to business activities but also doing various works for public welfare. Today they organized free healthcare and foreign food fairs in remote areas under Corporate Social Responsibility through their public interest organization Smart Foundation. I sincerely thank them for that.”

Managing Director of Smart Foundation Mohammad Zahirul Islam said, “For the second time in a row, we are providing free circumcision services in remote areas by organizing health camps. We hope that we will be able to provide this facility regularly in the future. Also, if other capable individuals or organizations of the country like us all participate in public interest activities from their positions, then it will be possible to build a smart Bangladesh very easily.”
