The Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI) is
one of the most successful public health interventions
in Bangladesh, and has contributed significantly to
reducing mortality and morbidity from vaccine-
preventable diseases. The service delivery mechanism
of EPI throughout the country has been used as the
role model and a platform to deliver other interventions.
The latest report shows that the coverage of the fully
vaccinated children who had taken the doses as per
schedule before celebrating their first birth day was
81 percent in 2013. Though the rate is still much lower
than the government’s target of 90 percent by 2016,
the Expanded Programme of Immunization (EPI) that
oversees child immunization finds it to be “a success”.
The coverage has been consistently increasing by
one percentage point for the last six years.Bangladesh
is much appreciated for its high vaccine coverage in
routine immunization and it received two ‘GAVI best
performance award’ within the past six years.

The length of the main bridge is 6.15 km and the width is 18.10 m. Total span 41 and each span is 150 meter long. The bridge connects Mawa in Munshiganj district to Jajira in Shariatpur district. It has two layers a four-lane road at the top and a railway at the bottom. The bridge will also be used for gas, power lines and fiber optic cable expansion in the future. The Padma Bridge will surely have a significant contribution to the social, economic and industrial development of the southern part of Bangladesh. The bridge will play an important role not only in the country but also in the regional connectivity of Asia and Southeast Asia. In the coming days, the Padma multipurpose bridge will continue to promote industrial development and economic growth in Bangladesh.

মাতৃভাষা মানুষের সবচেয়ে প্রিয় এবং তা মনোভাব প্রকাশের জন্য সবচেয়ে বেশি উপযোগী। অন্য কোনো ভাষায় মনের ভাব প্রকাশ করে পরিপূর্ণ আনন্দ পাওয়া যায় না। প্রত্যেক জাতির মাতৃভাষার নিজস্ব একটা বৈশিষ্ট্য আছে এবং মাতৃভাষার সাথে মানুষের একটি আত্মিক সম্পর্ক থাকে। বাঙালিদের কাছে বাংলা ভাষাই মনের ভাব প্রকাশের শ্রেষ্ঠ মাধ্যম। কারণ এটি বাঙালির মাতৃভাষা। বাঙালিরা পরভাষা চর্চা করে বটে, কিন্তু বাংলাতেই তার যত স্বাচ্ছন্দ্য।
