Being implemented by the Ministry of Disaster Management and Relief at the cost of 28.83 Crores, the project began its operation on 26 April, 2014 to create 40 day job opportunities for 36,044 people.

Under the programme, each of the beneficiaries has been earning Taka 200 as per-day wages conducting infrastructure development works for five days in a week. Each of the card-holder beneficiaries, including distressed women, will earn Taka 8,000 as wages for their 40-day works during the two-month period under the programme.

The beneficiaries have been conducting uplift works like earth-filling, renovating and repairing of bridges, culverts, roads, water-bodies, ponds, canals, educational and religious institutions, cleaning of weeds and preparing compost heaps.
