As chair of opening session Mr Md Salim Reza, DG BMET stated that

I thank RMMRU for conducting research on WEWB, BOESL and BAIRA. I am confident that the findings of these researches will be very much useful for policymaking. I am convinced to one of the recommendations of the presentation that is pre-decision training for migrants as well as we can also think about counselling for vulnerable migrant workers. Besides WEWB also can take another recommendation positively that is organizing fair for the families of migrants, arranging drawing competition for children of migrants etc in migrant prone districts.
