CUMILLA, Feb 21, 2026 (BSS) - Agriculture, Fisheries and Livestock and Food Minister Mohammad Amin Ur Rashid said if proper guidance and necessary support are ensured for the students, the country will gain a competent, humane and skilled generation.

He said this while speaking as the chief guest at a program at Newra M.I. High School ground in Cumilla on the occasion of Martyrs' Day and International Mother Language Day.

At the event, school bags were distributed among meritorious primary-level students under the initiative of the Haji Md. Zahirul Islam Foundation.

The minister laid emphasis on ensuring necessary educational materials and a supportive environment beyond textbooks to help students move forward with greater confidence.

He said if well-off members of society come forward from their respective positions to promote education, positive change across the country would be possible.

In this technology-driven era, it is crucial to provide students with appropriate environments and materials. Only then will they be able to develop the skills needed to compete in the global arena, he added.

Social worker Haji Md. Zahirul Islam chaired the event while teachers, students, guardians, and local dignitaries were present at the event.
