Roll: Ev17014006

2. Success story of A Bangladeshi
Economist & Banker

3. Early Life
Born in extremely poor farmer
familyNo food to eat.
No cloths to wear.
Financial situation was so dire when the
boy was class – 3.
Leaved the school and took a job.
Job was to take their animals to the field
to graze from morning till afternoon.

4. One day, the boy went to school with his
elder brother to watch a drama in school
yard.
Requested his brother to get
admitted once again in the
school.
His brother said, “Okay. I’ll talk to the
head-sir (principal) tomorrow”

5. The head-sir in a rhetorical voice
asked, “Is education made for
everyone?”
Went to his friend house for
studying.
With this one statement of the head-
sir, all the hopes and dreams I had
come with to the school seemed to
fade.

6. only 3 months left for these exams. When I got home, I told
mother that I will need 3 months of vacation. I will not stay
here – there’s no food, no clothing, no books but I still have
to pass the exams.
On the day of the results, I went to school and sat in the front
row in class. Head-sir brought the results with him, and I
noticed him hesitate. He looked at me and read the results out
loud. I was now the first-boy in class.

7. My illiterate father, for whom ‘first’ and ‘last’ held
the same meaning, was thoroughly happy. He just
understood this much that his son did something
special.

8. Got the chance in Mirzapur Cadet College;
The monthly tuition was 150 takas and from it, 100
takas I was exempted from paying due to the
stipend/scholarship. The remaining 50 takas would
need to be provided by my family.

situation and begging them for support. People gave
.25, .50, 1 and 2 takas – whatever they could give
willingly, they did. In total, it came to 150 takas.
