Youth Student Forum Gives Textbooks and Cash to Meritorious and Needy Students in Chattogram
The Chattogram Youth Student Forum has given textbook and cash assistance to poor and meritorious students to smooth their path to higher education.
The organisation distributed Higher Secondary Certificate (Class 11) textbooks and cash among needy and meritorious students who passed the 2026 SSC examination with distinction.
At a programme held on Friday morning (13 November) at Khan Bari in Pathantuli in Chattogram city, the materials and grants were handed to the students by Niaz Mohammad Khan, joint convener of Chattogram Metropolitan BNP, a former councillor and chairman of the Ward 23 Mahalla Protection Committee.
At the programme, Niaz Mohammad Khan said the government of Prime Minister Tarique Rahman, elected by the people's vote, has taken various plans giving the education sector the highest priority. In his words, the government is working to build education as the main foundation of human resource development, not merely as a means of obtaining a certificate.
He said that, to that end, initiatives have been taken to increase budget allocation, expand technical and technology-based education and implement a joyful education system.
Niaz Mohammad Khan also said various steps, including special grants and stipends, have been taken to ensure higher education for needy and meritorious students. Alongside these government initiatives, social organisations must also come forward so that no meritorious student's studies stop for lack of money.
He expressed hope of standing by the students in any need, both personally and organisationally.
The programme was attended by Md Ifaz Khan, founder chairman of the Chattogram Youth and Student Forum. Ward 23 BNP joint convener Abdul Mannan, A S M Nasir, Faruk, Abdul Azim and Abdul Aziz, along with other leaders of the organisation, were also present.
