DHAKA – In a stirring address to GPA-5 achieving students, Dr. Md. Sabur Khan, a leading voice for entrepreneurship in the country, urged the next generation to shift their focus from traditional job-seeking to becoming creators and problem-solvers. The event, a reception for meritorious students organized by the 'Bishwobidyaloy Porikroma' magazine, was held at the Institution of Diploma Engineers, Bangladesh.
While other speakers, including chief guest and BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, discussed the shortcomings of the current education system, Dr. Khan provided a forward-looking perspective aimed directly at inspiring the young achievers.
He implored the students to band together and harness their collective strength to tackle the issues facing the nation. In a direct and motivating message, Dr. Khan said:
“You must preserve friendship and the spirit of protest. Maintain unity among yourselves. Don’t just chase jobs, become entrepreneurs. Take on challenges. The country is mired in problems, and that presents a great opportunity to do something meaningful for the nation.”
Elaborating on his point, Dr. Khan strongly advised students to move away from the intense competition for a limited number of civil service positions and instead adopt an entrepreneurial mindset. He emphasized that an entrepreneur not only achieves personal success but also becomes a vital engine for the economy by creating employment opportunities for many others.
He also spoke on the critical importance of unity, noting that a lack of cohesion is a significant barrier to social and national progress. His speech served as a powerful reminder to the students that their academic success equips them with the unique responsibility to lead, innovate, and work collaboratively for the collective good of Bangladesh.
