Bangabandhu’s crop field mosaic aims for Guinness World Records
Bangladesh aims to register its name on the Guinness World Records with the largest crop field mosaic of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
National AgriCare Bangladesh, a private company involved in agricultural development and dissemination of renewable energy in rural areas, is crafting the crop field mosaic on a 1,20,000-square-metre area.
Currently, Shanghai Lezhidao Tourism Development Company of China holds the record, after it made a crop field mosaic spanning 79,505.19 square metres in 2019, according to Guinness World Records' website.
"To highlight Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's great love for farmers to the billions of people around the world, we've decided to build the crop field mosaic," said Krishibid KSM Mustafizur Rahman.
On a 105-bigha land of Bhobanipur union of Bogura's Sherpur, Bangabandhu's portrait has been crafted.
"We've used golden and deep purple rice plants to portray Bangabandhu's image," he added.
"Bangabandhu fought throughout his life for farmers' wellbeing," he said.
"After the nine-monthlong Liberation War, when independent Bangladesh was struggling to rise, Bangabandhu knew that only farmers would be able to save the country. He worked hard for the betterment of farmers."
Mustafizur said due to the pandemic, people around the world are again starting to realise the importance of farmers. "That's why we crafted the gigantic crop field mosaic to showcase Bangabandhu's love for farmers and agriculture."
Talking to the Daily Star last week, Mustafizur Rahman said by February 21, the crop field mosaic will get a complete look.
"We're hopeful of putting our name on the Guinness World Records before the 101st birth anniversary of Bangabandhu on March 17," he said.
