Beginning of a new journey
This year, Bangladesh celebrates the 100th birthday of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. The government has already proclaimed that March 17, 2020 to March 17, 2021 will be marked as the "Mujib Borsho". On November 20, 2019, at the 40th UN General Assembly held in Paris, Unesco decided to celebrate Mujib Borsho together with Bangladesh.
However, we are yet to make Bangabandhu's dreams fully come true. On March 7, 1971, he stated, "amader dabaiya rakhte parba na" (no one can suppress us).
Moving forward we must promise to establish a country that will be free from poverty, hunger and corruption and also try and ensure that we sucessfully implement the vision 2041.
