CABINET-COMPANY-LAW 2 LAST DHAKA
Alam said in the previous definition, film means celluloid, analogue,
digital or it made in other medium. But, in the proposed law, the term
“analogue” has been dropped from the definition of the film, he said.
The cabinet secretary said the draft law proposed to reduce the number of
members of the governing body of the institute to four to six from existing
five to seven.
Of them, a teacher of the institute and a filmmaker would be nominated by
the government to ensure involvement of teachers of the institute and eminent
personalities related to the film industry.
A “media personality” instead of a “journalist” to be nominated by the
government will also be a member of the governing council, Alam said.
Besides, he said, a representative of the mass media instead of private
media to be appointed by the government will also be a member of the
governing council of the institute.
About the tenure of the governing council of the institute, the cabinet
secretary said the council members will be appointed for a two-year term
instead of three years of the existing law.
Meanwhile, the cabinet also gave a nod to a proposal for celebrating
December 12 as the “Digital Bangladesh Day” instead of the “National
Information & Communication Technology Day”.
At the outset of today’s meeting, Agriculture Minister Begum Matia
Chowdhury handed over a photograph on a 200-year-old floating “Rice Haat” to
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
The photograph collected by Matia Chowdhury is a floating “Haat of Rice” in
the Sandhya River at Banaripara of Barishal and it is said to be the largest
“Rice Haat” in the region.
