In the first stage, seven villages in each of the seven divisions will get one of these buildings. The cooperatives-based buildings will be called "Palli Janapad".
The Tk 4.24 billion project was approved at the meeting of the Executive Committee of the National Economic Council (ECNEC) on Tuesday with Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in the chair.
According to the working paper of the project, the pilot constructions will be done in Upazila growth centre areas. Project sites will be picked through a baseline survey.
The survey will prioritise on places where expatriates send remittance abd where there is available land for acquisition.
Priority will also be put on pkaces where locals will be able to afford to pay 30 percent construction cost in advance and where people have the right attitude to coexist in a single building.
The project aims to preserve arable land, ensure food security and improve livelihoods. It also aims to increase the use of organic fertilisers.
The Center for Irrigation and Water Management (CIWM) and Rural Development Academy (RDA) will jointly implement the project under the Rural Development and Cooperatives Division.
