Narayanganj Deputy Commissioner Mohammad Zahidul Islam Mian has gifted a modern laptop to visually impaired student Salma Jerin of Prime University, enabling her to continue her education amid severe family hardship.
Salma, a fourth-year student in the Department of English, lost her father, while her mother is suffering from kidney disease.
All her siblings are also visually impaired. Despite repeatedly seeking help to purchase a laptop required for her online classes and examinations, she received only assurances.
After learning about the DC’s humanitarian initiatives, Salma met him on 6 October and shared her struggles. Moved by her story, the DC handed her a laptop on behalf of the Narayanganj Zila Parishad.
Expressing gratitude, Salma said the laptop will make her studies and future career pursuits significantly easier.
Praising her perseverance and merit, Deputy Commissioner Zahidul Islam Mian said persons with special needs are “assets, not burdens,” assuring her of continued support.
Among those present were Narayanganj Zila Parishad Executive Officer Naeema Islam and senior officials of the district administration.
