15 Border Youths Receive Electrical Wiring Training, Certificates and Tools from Fulbari BGB

The Fulbari Battalion (29 BGB) of Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) has provided basic electrical house wiring training, certificates and necessary electrical tools to 15 unemployed youths from the border areas of Fulbari upazila in Dinajpur to help them develop skills and become self-reliant.

The four-week training program was organized under the overall management of Fulbari Battalion (29 BGB) at the Youth Development Training Center of Eluari Union Parishad in Fulbari upazila.  The program began on July 26, 2026, with 15 unemployed youths from the border areas under the jurisdiction of Jalpaitali Border Outpost (BOP).

The formal closing ceremony of the training was held on Tuesday (August 18).  Colonel Mohammad Foysal Hasan Khan, Sector Commander of BGB Dinajpur Sector, attended the program as the chief guest and distributed training certificates and necessary electrical tools among the trainees.

Addressing the programme, Colonel Foysal Hasan Khan said BGB is committed to implementing the declaration of the BGB Director General that "BGB will be a symbol of security and trust along the border." He said BGB personnel are performing their duties professionally as vigilant guardians of the country's independence, sovereignty and border security while working to prevent smuggling, drugs, human trafficking, arms trafficking and other forms of cross-border crime.

At the same time, he said, BGB has been playing a humanitarian role in ensuring the security, improving the living standards and promoting the social welfare of people living in border areas. He highlighted various welfare initiatives undertaken by BGB, including relief distribution, rescue and food assistance during disasters, free medical services and medicine distribution, educational support and other social and humanitarian activities.

He said BGB is also implementing various technical training programs to develop the skills and employment opportunities of unemployed youths living in border areas. According to the chief guest, one of the main objectives of the electrical house wiring training was to create opportunities for self-employment by developing the skills of educated and unemployed youths in border communities.

He said the trainees were provided not only with certificates but also with necessary electrical tools so that they could utilize their newly acquired knowledge and skills to undertake work in their local communities and become self-reliant. He expressed hope that such initiatives would further strengthen mutual trust and engagement between BGB and the people living in border areas.
