CHATTOGRAM, April 22, 2019 (BSS) – Education Minister Dr Dipu Moni today
called upon the youths to read different kinds of books apart from textbooks
to broaden their horizon of knowledge.
“If we cannot broaden our mindset, the meaning of life will get narrower.
Reading books can broaden our horizon of knowledge,” she told a book
unveiling ceremony at Chattogram zila parishad auditorium here.
The minister added: “The Almighty has created us with enormous potentials.
If we cannot broaden our outlook by learning about different creations of the
Almighty, and the world by reading books and travelling, all our potentials
given by our creator will go in vain”.
Professor Kamrun Nahar Begum, mother of Information Minister Dr Hasan
Mahmud, wrote the travelogue book titled “Amar Dekha Australia Mahadesh Ebong
Asia and Europer 13 Desh” which focused on politics, economy, education,
culture and judiciary.
Deputy Minister for Education Barrister Mohibul Hasan Chowdhury Noufel,
Chattogram Zila Parishad Chairman MA Salam, Chattogram University of
Engineering and Technology (CUET) Vice-Chancellor Prof Rafiqul Alam,
Chattogram University Pro-Vice Chancellor Dr Shirin Akhter Chowdhury and
writer of the book Prof Kamrun Nahar Begum addressed the function.
Premier University Vice-Chancellor Professor Dr Anupom Sen chaired it.
Moni said it was a very tough job for Kamrun Nahar to write the travelogue
by keeping all notes of her visit to different countries in the world.
“Many of us visit different countries, but very few can write travelogue
properly by keeping proper notes of different sites and aspects. Prof Kamrun
Nahar did the tough job and she did it excellently,” she added.
