To introduce Bangabandhu to the children in the rural areas of Bangladesh, “#TeamSufiFaruq” has launched a campaign called “Read Mujib” at various educational institutions in Kushtia. This initiative has gained significant popularity on social media, and is now being replicated in other parts of the country.
“Read Mujib” program in Panti Dakhil Madrasa, Kushtia
The “Read Mujib” campaign is an introductory event based on the book Unfinished Autobiography, which has been adapted into a graphic novel to educate children about Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. The novel, titled Mujib, was published by Radwan Mujib Siddiqui, the grandson of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, on his 95th birthday through the Centre for Research and Information (CRI) last year. The 24-page graphic novel is considered the first character-based graphic novel of the country.
During the event, children first watch the story on a projector or listen to a storytelling session, after which they take part in a quiz. Winners are rewarded with copies of the book.
The events are lively and interactive, with enthusiastic support from the teachers, and the students continue to inspire everyone involved. Team Sufi Faruq actively supports the event and provides the books as prizes.
This particular event was held at Panti Dakhil Madrasa, in Panti Village, Panti Union, Kumarkhali Upazila, Kushtia District.
