There will be a special prize for the special projects that didn’t come within the mentioned prizes. The last date of Project Submission is Dec 31, 2009.
The current unplanned urbanization in the country has motivated Holcim Bangladesh to initiate such a program so that the country can be dreamt of being a Green Country.
