We felicitate Nishat
She has reached the pinnacle of women's endurance
Another Bangladeshi female youth has done us proud. Nishat Majumdar, a 31-year-old accountant, has become the first Bangladeshi woman to conquer the Mount Everest, the world's highest peak. We congratulate her on this outstanding achievement and also for the indomitable spirit and determination that she has displayed in pursuing her dream and realizing it.
She had prepared for her mission with due diligence. She took part in many training courses and several smaller expeditions with her fellow members of Bangla Mountaineering and Trekking Club (BMTC). Finally, after such a long period of unrelenting efforts through numerous adversities, she obtained her goal last Saturday. In this context we also congratulate the BMTC for supporting her and MA Muhit for accompanying her in her quest.
This is clearly an extra-ordinary feat of indefatigable spirit that the youth in general are capable of recording. In fact, she has set an inspirational example, particularly for young women, in that if anyone is willing to endure hardship, s/he can accomplish anything whether it is climbing a mountain or overcoming other challenges in life. It also proves that if given equal opportunity and dignity, there is nothing called an impossible mission for women.
Above all, Nishat has epitomized the boundless potentials that our youth are endowed with. It makes us believe if this huge potential can be properly tapped, they as well as making their mark internationally, can come up with all sorts of innovative ideas to tackle the mounting social problems. Therefore, it is solely for the government to provide our youth with necessary facilities so that they can pursue their innovative and adventurous dreams.
