He urged them to take advantage of this offer.
Rahman inaugurated the Agrani Bank’s Green Banking and Rooftop Garden activities at a Dhaka hotel on Tuesday.
“True development is possible if entrepreneurs come forward, because the private sector has a major role in the country’s development.”
He promised to extend all help from the state bank towards this goal.
“City temperature is eight degrees Celsius higher compared to villages,” he said adding, “But rooftop gardens can reduce the (city) temperature by 2-3 degrees.”
The governor said the Agrani Bank’s credit disbursement for rooftop gardens and nurseries would be a milestone.
At the programme, he distributed saplings of various fruit trees to the rooftop garden owners of Narayanganj.
He also released a book on green banking and rooftop garden published by the Bangladesh Institute of Bank Management.
