Finance Adviser Dr Salehuddin Ahmed has stressed that investment in education is the most important investment for the country’s future.
“By investing in education, we are not merely helping individual students—we are shaping the future of the country,” he said while speaking at the Brahmanbaria District Association’s Executive Committee Installation and Scholarship Award Ceremony, held at the International Convention City Bashundhara (ICCB) on Saturday.
He lauded Brahmanbaria as the “Land of Heritage and Harmony” and praised the community’s vision of building a district recognised for knowledge, culture, and innovation.
At the event, a total of 312 scholarships were awarded to meritorious students—25 at Honours level, 182 at HSC level, and 105 at SSC level—to promote academic excellence and create opportunities for youth from Brahmanbaria.
Association President MA Khalek said the district has long produced leaders, scholars, and artists. “Today we renew our commitment to building a Brahmanbaria recognised for its talent and contribution, not for negative stereotypes,” he noted.
General Secretary Engineer Md Khaled Hossain Mahbub (Shyamal) described the gathering as “a call to action” to uphold a positive image of Brahmanbaria across Bangladesh and abroad.
The programme concluded with cultural performances showcasing the district’s rich traditions, underscoring unity and pride in its heritage.
