The first phase of the basic training course, involving 25 senior officers, began on August 15 and will continue until August 27.
Speaking at a training session on Wednesday, Major General Abdul Motaleb Sazzad Mahmud, chairman of Ansar-VDP Development Bank and director general of Bangladesh Ansar and Village Defence Force, outlined the bank’s objectives, future plans and its role in implementing the force’s development initiatives, including the ‘Sanjiban’ project.
