ABASHAN PROJECT
 

1. To rehabilitate the homeless and landless people of the rural area a project named "ASRAYAN " was launched by the govt. in 1996. This was entirely materialized by Bangladesh Army and Bangladesh Navy. Since Bangladesh is a country of low land and it has approx 700 KM of coastline, a good number of people live in the coastal area. Bangladesh Navy
took all the initiative to go to build low cost houses

for the needy people. In the process of construction low cost houses, BN used its ships, various types of small and medium boats, mechanized country boats, trucks and many other means. It was the total effort of the navy personnel, local administration and the local people to make the project successful.

2. So far Bangladesh Navy has constructed lots of low cost houses in the districts of Cox's Bazar, Bandarban, Chittagong, Noakhali, Laxmipur, Bhola, Barishal, Barguna, Patuakhali, etc. At present Bangladesh Navy has been given the responsibility of constructing huge low cost houses in coastal areas under the project called "ABASHAN". BN representative along with the representative of local administration and 'ABASHAN' project are visiting sites to study the feasibility of constructing low cost house. The entire project will be materialized by 2007 under the close supervision of Director "ABASHAN" of Prime Minister's Office.
