Bangladesh is making significant strides in harnessing resources for its development. The country's Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant (RNPP) has received its first consignment of uranium for peaceful purposes [4d2fb80b]. This milestone was celebrated in a ceremony attended by Russian President Vladimir Putin and Bangladesh's Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina [4d2fb80b]. Once operational, the RNPP will make Bangladesh the 33rd nuclear power-producing country in the world, contributing to the country's growing economy [4d2fb80b]. In addition to nuclear power, Bangladesh is also focusing on improving its food security. The country's first rice silos, built under a private-public-partnership (PPP) model, will be commissioned next month [4d2fb80b]. These silos, constructed by the National Commodity Management Services Ltd (NCML), will have a combined capacity of 25,000 tonnes and aim to prevent cereal wastage during storage [4d2fb80b]. This initiative is part of the government's larger project to set up steel silos for rice, with the Food Corporation of India (FCI) leading the efforts [4d2fb80b]. By harnessing both nuclear power and innovative storage solutions, Bangladesh is paving the way for sustainable development and economic growth [4d2fb80b].
