Modhumoti Bank PLC has continued its commitment to social welfare by donating a 12-seater electric cart to Dhaka Central Jail on Thursday, reaffirming its dedication to impactful corporate social responsibility initiatives. The contribution aims to enhance mobility and improve the efficiency of daily operations within the prison compound, offering a safer and more convenient method of transportation for both inmates and staff.
A Meaningful Contribution to Institutional Efficiency
The eco-friendly vehicle is expected to streamline the movement of individuals across various sections of the jail, providing a dependable means of intra-facility transport. Such an initiative is particularly significant in large correctional institutions, where accessibility and timely mobility play an essential role in maintaining order, ensuring safety, and conducting routine administrative activities.

The symbolic key handover took place at a brief ceremony attended by representatives from both Modhumoti Bank and the Department of Prisons.
Mr Humayun Kabir, Chairman of Modhumoti Bank’s Board of Directors, officially presented the electric cart to Colonel Md Tanvir Hossan, Additional Inspector General of Prisons.
Several notable figures witnessed the event, including:
Mr Salahuddin Alamgir, Chairman of the Executive Committee
Mr Mohammad Ismail Hossain, Board Member
Mr A Mannan Khan, Board Member
Mr Md Shafiul Azam, Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer
Mr Arif Hasan Khan, SEVP & Chief Risk Officer
Ms Suraiya Akter, Senior Jail Superintendent
Mr Md Tayef Uddin Mia, Senior Jail Superintendent
Other senior officials from both organisations were also present, reflecting the collaborative nature of the initiative.
Commitment to Social Responsibility
Modhumoti Bank emphasised that the donation is part of its broader mission to actively support community institutions and contribute to national development. By providing practical, sustainable tools such as an electric cart, the bank aims to encourage environmentally conscious solutions while simultaneously addressing institutional needs.
The bank further stated that it intends to continue investing in progressive CSR programmes that positively impact public service organisations, vulnerable communities, and social infrastructure.
With this gesture, Modhumoti Bank PLC has demonstrated a tangible commitment to strengthening public institutions and promoting an inclusive, socially responsible corporate culture—one that prioritises both environmental sustainability and human welfare.
