Observer Online Report

Prime Minister Tarique Rahman has agreed to introduce journalism studies at Bogura University, his Additional Press Secretary Atikur Rahman Rumon said on Thursday (November 12).

He said the proposal was made considering the region's long-standing tradition of journalism. State Minister for Local Government, Rural Development and Cooperatives Mir Shah Alam has been assigned to oversee the matter.

Rumon made the remarks as the chief speaker at the inaugural ceremony of the Bogura Television Reporters' Union, held at Mom Inn Convention Centre in Bogura around noon.

He said Bogura had a longstanding connection with the journalism profession and deserved to have journalism studies introduced at its university in recognition of that legacy. Following a request to the Prime Minister and the State Minister, Tarique Rahman agreed to the proposal, and Mir Shah Alam would now look into the matter, he added.

Speaking about the infrastructural development of Bogura Press Club, Rumon said Tarique Rahman had laid the foundation stone of the press club building when he was a joint secretary general of the BNP.

Although little progress was made on the building over the following 17 years, the Prime Minister recently inaugurated the press club building himself, he said.

Rumon also called on people from all political backgrounds to work together for the overall development of Bogura and raise their demands with the Prime Minister.

The programme was chaired by Bogura Television Reporters' Union President Mohan Akhand, while State Minister Mir Shah Alam attended as the chief guest.

Among the special guests were Bogura District Council Administrator AKM Ahsanul Tayeeb Zakir, Bogura City Corporation Administrator MR Islam Swadhin, Deputy Commissioner Md Toufiqur Rahman, Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha (BSS) Board of Directors member Mozammel Haque Lalu, TMSS Executive Director Hosne Ara and Bogura Press Club General Secretary Kalam Azad.

At the event, 14 journalists were honoured for their contributions to journalism, including eight who received posthumous recognition.
