PM-CHILDREN-DAY-2-LAST-DHAKA
The prime minister said Father of the Nation loved the children so much and
that’s why, the government has announced the birthday of Bangabandhu Sheikh
Mujibur Rahman as National Children’s Day.
In the country’s Constitution after Independence, she said, Bangabandhu had
made the education for children fully free, adding that the children
enrollment rate now stood at almost cent percent.
Mentioning that the closure of educational institutions is painful for
students, Sheikh Hasina urged the children to continue study and sports as
practices of culture and sports are essence of growing up nicely.
“You (children) will pull the country ahead as a future of the state,” she
said, referring to the dream of the Father of the Nation of building the
country as hunger-poverty-free Sonar Bangla where every person will get home.
On the occasion of Mujib Year, the premier reiterated her government’s
determination to provide house and land to each home and land less people
which will be illuminated with electricity so children can carry on their
study.
She said Bangladesh has attained the status of a developing nation but
there is no way to stand still here rather the country has to be pulled ahead
further.
“Now our next goal is to turn the country as developed one by 2041 and we
are taking all required measures to this end,” she added.
