Dhaka DC sends personal letters and gifts to 30 HSC high achievers

Dhaka Deputy Commissioner Farida Khanam has sent personal letters of congratulations to 30 students who performed well in the HSC examinations. Gifts were also sent to the students along with the letters. The information was shared in a notice from the Dhaka Deputy Commissioner's office on Monday.

In the letters, the Deputy Commissioner did not only praise their good results, but also encouraged the students about higher education, human values, patriotism and playing a role in building the nation.

In the letter addressed to the students, Farida Khanam wrote, ‘When this letter reaches your hands, you may wonder why a Deputy Commissioner has written separately to a student. Because in you I see not only a talented student of today, but an enlightened person of tomorrow.’

Congratulating the students on behalf of the Dhaka district administration and herself for their success in the HSC examinations, the Deputy Commissioner said this achievement is not only the result of the students' talent and relentless hard work, but also bound up with the steadfast trust and sacrifices of their parents and teachers.

In the letter she wrote that having crossed the higher secondary stage, the students have now entered a vast horizon of possibilities. But this achievement is not a destination; it is the beginning of a long journey.

She urged them to become more curious, brave and thirsty for knowledge in the new chapter of university life.

Pointing to the realities of the present time, Farida Khanam said they must not limit themselves only to achieving GPA-5.

In the letter she noted that alongside gaining skills in information technology, they must be strengthened by human values and deep patriotism. They must develop their hidden talents and grow into people who will not only build their own careers, but will also lead in building an advanced and prosperous Bangladesh with their talent and ability.

Reminding them of the future, the Deputy Commissioner wrote in the letter, ‘Perhaps many years later you will read this letter again. When the dreams your parents have for you come true. When the path of your life has advanced far. On that day, may you look back and say, I honoured my dream, I upheld the dignity of my talent, and I tried to be a good person.’

In the closing part of the letter, Farida Khanam expressed her hope that the students' indomitable journey would continue, and wished them victory at every peak of success in life.
