Support for Tuhin to continue study
Gouripur UNO also helps his poor family after The Daily Star report
Tuhin Mia, a poor bright boy in Gouripur upazila under the district, is now relieved of the financial concern for continuation of his higher study, thanks to the initiative of the upazila nirhabi officer.
Tuhin, a GPA-5 achiever in this year's Secondary School Certificate examinations from Rajendra Kishore Government High School in Gouripur, started working as a day labourer to manage his college admission fees as his father is too hard-pressed.
"Seeing reports in the newspapers including The Daily Star's Monday issue, I became inspired to do something for Tuhin and visited their house at Satisa in the upazila on Monday," said UNO Margina Akter.
She handed over two bundles of corrugated tin sheet and Tk 11,000 to Tuhin's family at a programme at her office yesterday afternoon.
"We will take all necessary steps for smooth continuation of Tuhin's study. The upazila administration has already included the family under the government's 'Shelter for All' programme," said the UNO.
Thanking the UNO for her benevolent initiative, Tuhin said a few other generous people have also contacted with him.
Tuhin, a science student, wants to be a doctor.
