Chattogram District Commissioner Mohammad Zahidul Islam Mia has urged people to reflect on their own roles in bringing about change in society instead of blaming the administration for all problems.
He made the remarks while addressing a discussion organised by the district administration at the Chattogram Circuit House conference room on Friday on the occasion of National Productivity Day 2026.
Zahidul Islam Mia said research and innovation, along with understanding changing consumer demand, were essential to increasing productivity and preparing for the future.
“We all want the country to become beautiful and developed. But I ask myself what I am doing to develop the country and what my contribution is,” he said, urging everyone to consider their own contribution to social change.
He said businesses would not be able to survive in the market without understanding consumers and conducting relevant research.
Successful organisations conduct advance research into future consumer preferences and demands, he said, adding that product and market plans should take into account how the preferences of the younger generation are changing and what they may want in the future.
The district commissioner identified reluctance to embrace change as a major obstacle to progress. People often prefer to maintain things as they are because change brings criticism and challenges, he said.
He said major achievements were not possible without challenges and called for greater creativity and thinking beyond conventional approaches to increase productivity.
Highlighting Chattogram’s long history of trade and commerce, Zahidul Islam Mia said the port city played an important role in the country’s economy. He said people had high expectations from Chattogram’s business community and wanted it to introduce new ideas and create new opportunities.
Urging people to move away from the tendency to blame the administration for every social problem, he said, “Society will not change if we only say that the DC or the SP did not do something.”
The district commissioner also highlighted Bangladesh’s fertile land and natural potential, saying people in many countries had achieved development despite having to cope with harsh weather and environmental conditions. Bangladesh, he said, was in a comparatively advantageous natural position and should make proper use of its potential.
He stressed the need to leave a safe and developed country for future generations so that they would not feel that previous generations had consumed the country’s resources and left them with conflict, insecurity, and inadequate access to safe food and water.
He finally called on everyone to take responsibility from their respective positions and work together for the country and society.
