bKash has handed over graphic novel "Mujib" to 110 schools in Chattogram to inspire the students with the ideals of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.

With this, a total of 500 schools across the country have received the novel from bKash, said a press release.

To mark the golden jubilee of Bangladesh's independence and Bangabandhu's birth centenary, bKash has started the initiative to distribute this novel in collaboration with Bishwo Shahitto Kendro on March 31, 2021.

Earlier, 15,600 copies of the novel have been distributed in Dhaka, Rajshahi, Barishal, Mymensingh, Sylhet, Khulna and Rangpur; and 4,400 copies in Chattogram.

The books were handed over to the school representatives and students at Theatre Institute Chittagong by Md Ashraf Uddin, divisional commissioner of Chattogram; Prof Abdul Alim, secretary of Chattogram Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board; Kamal Quadir, chief executive officer of bKash; Maj Gen (retd) Sheikh Md Monirul Islam, chief external and corporate affairs officer of bKash; Shameem Al Mamun, director of Bishwo Shahitto Kendro, and others.

With the support of bKash, Bishwo Shahitto Kendro has been distributing the graphic novel "Mujib" which is published in eight series by the Center for Research and Information (CRI) based on Bangabandhu's autobiography "Oshomapto Attojiboni" (The Unfinished Memoirs). Once the next editions of the graphic novel are published, bKash will further expand this programme to more schools along with the existing ones.
