RAJSHAHI, July 14, 2026 (BSS)- The Rajshahi Zila Parishad has extended financial assistance to student Atikul Hasan to ensure his participation at the Dhaka level, after he achieved commendable success in the karate event of the 'Notun Kuri Sports-2026' competition organised by the Ministry of Youth and Sports.

Today, at the Zila Parishad Administrator's Office, Rajshahi Zila Parishad Administrator Advocate Ershad Ali (Esha) handed over the financial grant to student Atikul Hasan.
 
Atikul is an eighth-grade student at Rajshahi Adarsha High School. He secured first place at both the district and divisional levels in the karate competition of Notun Kuri Sports-2026 and was selected to participate at the Dhaka level.
