A meritorious college student in Matlab South, Chandpur, has resumed her studies after Upazila Nirbahi Officer (UNO) KM Ishmam stepped in to fund her textbooks.
The eleventh-grade Business Studies student at Matlab Government College had stopped attending classes because her family could not afford the required books.
She completed her secondary education at Matlabganj Pilot Girls' High School, securing a GPA-5 in the Business Studies stream, and subsequently enrolled at Matlab Government College. Coming from an extremely impoverished family, she was unable to purchase the necessary textbooks.
After her request for a set of books to the college principal, Abul Kalam Azad, went unfulfilled, she stopped attending classes.
Upon learning of this, the compassionate Upazila Nirbahi Officer (UNO) of Matlab South, KM Ishmam, invited the student and her father to his official residence. He provided financial assistance to cover the cost of her eleventh-grade textbooks and promised to offer further support whenever she might need it.
An honest and compassionate UNO has the potential to transform an entire Upazila. Your efforts to bring government services directly to the doorsteps of ordinary citizens are truly commendable.
A truly people-friendly official is one who values human affection and justice above rigid administrative strictness. A dedicated UNO like you is a source of pride for our Upazila.
By standing by the common people during times of crisis or hardship, you have demonstrated that administration is not merely about exercising power, but serves as a noble medium for serving humanity.
