HSC success: Dhaka DC writes to 30 high-achieving students

Farida Khanam, deputy commissioner (DC) of Dhaka, has sent special congratulatory and inspirational letters to 30 students of Dhaka for their good results in the Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) examination.

The information was shared in a notice from the Dhaka district administration office on Monday (9 November).

Along with wishing the students well for their future lives, the letters give them guidance and encouragement to pursue higher education, uphold human values and play an effective role in building the country.

Congratulating the students on behalf of the district administration and herself, the deputy commissioner noted in the letter that this success is not only the result of the students' talent and the tireless hard work of sleepless nights, but also a reflection of the sacrifices and deep trust of their parents and teachers.

Addressing the students, she wrote that when the letter reaches them, they may wonder why the deputy commissioner wrote to them separately. As the reason, she said that among the students concerned she sees not only a talented student of today, but also an enlightened person of tomorrow.

Describing the crossing of the HSC stage and entry into a horizon full of possibilities not as a destination but as the beginning of a great journey, she urged them to make themselves more curious, brave and thirsty for knowledge in the new chapter of entering university.

Highlighting the realities of the present age, the letter advised the students not to limit themselves only to the circle of achieving GPA-5.

The deputy commissioner noted that in modern times, alongside textbook results, they must strengthen themselves with knowledge of information technology, human values and deep patriotism.

They must awaken their hidden talents and grow into ideal people who will not only build personal careers, but will be able to lead in building an advanced and prosperous Bangladesh with their knowledge and talent.

Reminding them of future reminiscence, Farida Khanam wrote that many years later, when they reach the peak of success in life and read this letter again, they should be able to say with self-satisfaction that they honoured their dreams, gave their talent its due dignity, and above all sincerely tried to become good human beings.

In the closing part of the letter, the Dhaka district administration wished the students' indomitable onward journey to continue and wished them victory and wellbeing at every step of their success.
