In 1996, the then and current Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina visited Panchagarh and talked about the potential of tea cultivation. Today's Panchagarh tea garden is a product of the thoughts of Honorable Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Somotoler Cha Shilpo yatra was officially started in 2000 at Tentulia in Panchagarh.
