[chottala.com] Rahul Gandhi to visit Bangladesh - due Aug 1

Rahul Gandhi due Aug 1
 
 
Pallab Bhattacharya, New Delhi

Indian Member of Parliament Rahul Gandhi, son of Congress Party leader Sonia Gandhi, will visit Bangladesh on August 1 on a five-day trip to get a first-hand experience of rural development projects run by Grameen Bank and Brac, an NGO.

The 38-year-old member of Lok Sabha is also the son of former Indian prime minister Rajiv Gandhi, the grandson of former Indian prime minister Indira Gandhi and the great-grandson of India's first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru.

A 10-member Special Protection Group is expected to reach Dhaka today ahead of Rahul's visit to work out security for the man viewed by many as a future leader of India.

Brac Public Affairs Director M Anwarul Haq confirmed the visit but said the visit's details were still being worked out.

Rahul is expected to visit several projects run by Brac and Grameen Bank. He has shown a keen interest in rural development while visiting a number of projects across India.

The young parliamentarian met Nobel laureate Prof Muhammad Yunus in Delhi in March last year and has already started some micro-finance and women-empowerment projects in his poverty-stricken Lok Sabha constituency of Amethi in Uttar Pradesh.

Sources close to Rahul said he would try to see if the Grameen Bank and Brac projects could be replicated in India.
