Library Seen as Platform for Building Ideal Citizens

Speaking at the event, chief guest Shamsunnahar Begum said a library should not be viewed merely as a place for reading books, but also as a platform for developing responsible and ideal citizens.

She said educational, creative, cultural and recreational activities organised through libraries could play an important role in developing a healthy social environment.

Such initiatives, she added, could also contribute to building a fair, peaceful and corruption-free society.

She expressed confidence that Sufia Azan Pathagar had been working towards these objectives since its establishment and would continue its efforts in the future.

Representing the successful students, Tazkir Hasnain, Nabila Tahsin and Rau Fun Suraiya spoke at the programme.

They expressed gratitude to their parents, teachers and the organisers for recognising their achievements and encouraging them to pursue further education with greater determination.

The guardians also appreciated the initiative, saying such recognition could motivate students to perform better in their academic careers.

A total of 48 students and guardians were awarded at this year’s programme.

The prize-giving ceremony was conducted by Abdullah Tarek, information and technology affairs secretary of Sufia Azan Pathagar.

Members of the library’s executive committee, teachers, guardians, government officials, local dignitaries, well-wishers and residents of the area attended the event.

The organisers said the programme was completed successfully with the spontaneous participation and cooperation of students, guardians, teachers and local residents.

Sufia Azan Pathagar expressed its gratitude to everyone who contributed to making the reception and guardians’ gathering a successful and memorable event.
