Film on Bangabandhu
Red Rose Films Limited, a UK-based film producing company, has completed pre-production stage of making a full-length English film on the eventful life of the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman with an estimated cost of $10 million.
The indoor filming will be at Hyderabad in India and outdoors at Gopalganj, and a number of actors and actresses have primarily been chosen from Mumbai and Hollywood apart from Bangladesh.
Instead of making a $10 million film on Bangabandhu, why don't we invest that money to make the first Bangladesh ICT research University and model it after International Institute of Information Technology Hyderabad (also IIIT-Hyderabad, IIIT-H) which is an autonomous, self-supporting institution that started in 1998 with support from the government of Andhra Pradesh. IIIT is a research university at its core. Our ICT research university should be named after the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. Hope our PM will consider this seriously.
The major goal of ICT University for Bangladesh will be to impart a uniquely broad and interdisciplinary IT education of the highest academic quality. This will be achieved through an integrated curriculum that consists of a highly diverse set of IT courses, interdisciplinary IT research projects, day-to-day interaction with industry, preparation in entrepreneurship and personality development courses. Is it not a better way of keeping Bangabandhu's memories alive?
