Saluting the high achievers

This year we felicitated more brilliant students than the past year, 137 more to be precise. That itself shows the excellence more youngsters are working for. The icing on the cake is Rezwan Haque's brilliant results. He obtained the highest marks in English language worldwide in 'O' levels. The profound advice by the chief guest of the programme Justice Habibur Rahman to the young achievers, for upholding the standards, values and norms of the nation and not to alienate themselves from tradition and roots, should be motivating and inspiring them to reach newer heights of excellence. We congratulate them -- those who are the future of our nation, those who would be instrumental in building the nation up.

There has been a propensity among brilliant young students towards going abroad in search of knowledge and better life. Sadly very few of them return to their motherland. It is our responsibility to bring them back after they finish their studies abroad.

It is our duty to create an environment so as to enable them to use the knowledge and skill they attained overseas in the country. Unless we are able to do that, our country will continue to be devoid of the brilliance of these bright youngsters.
