Dhaka, October 25, 2026 (V7N) – A total of 548 meritorious female students on Sunday received pink-coloured bicycles in Bogura, marking the birthday of Barrister Zaima Rahman.
State Minister for Local Government, Rural Development and Co-operatives Mir Shahe Alam distributed the free bicycles at a programme held at Shibganj Government Pilot Girls' High School in the district.
According to information shared by the state minister's press secretary on social media, around 1,500 students received special mugs featuring Zaima Rahman's photograph at the programme.
Addressing the ceremony, Mir Shahe Alam said the initinative was organised to mark the birthday of Barrister Zaima Rahman, daughter of Prime Minister Tarique Rahman and Dr Zubaida Rahman. The initiative aims to promote girls' education, ease students' daily journeys to school and encourage them to continue their studies.
The state minister also arranged a free medical camp for underprivileged people, with around 4,000 receiving eye care services. He said that instead of holding a conventional cake-cutting celebration, Zaima Rahman's birthday was celebrated by providing humanitarian assistance to underprivileged people.
