Country's first person with disability has got M.Phil Degree

People with disabilities in Bangladesh have been striving hard for establishing their rights, dignity and of their own empowerment in different avenues. In the course of such strive Mohammad Sarower Hossen Khan, a person with visual impairment (full blind) has set a most encouraging instance of success by achieving his M. Phil Degree from Dhaka University on `Role of the state to protect the rights of People With Disabilities in Bangladesh'.

It gives me an immense pleasure to know the Success Story of Bangladesh especially from the people with disabilities.

My salute to Br. Sarower Hossen Khan who did an extra ordinary accomplishment in obtaining his Master of Philosophy degree from the University of Dhaka, despite his totally visual disability. I am very proud of him and words cannot express my appreciation. May Allah bless him for continued succeed.
It was reassuring the story of a blind man who was walking in the dark carrying a lamp with him. An able-bodied man began to laugh at him and said, “Why do you carry the lamp in the dark? You cannot see.” The blind man replied, “The lamp is for you so that you can see me.”

This is the true pen picture of our society. Able-bodied people are more bless than us, they do not suffer like us and do not familiar with our darkness. Despite facts, we are able to come to the light. Br. Sarower is one of the finest examples in our society. Warmest congatulations!
