100 Birth Year Celebration “Mujib Borsho” of Father of the Nation of Bangladesh,
Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman to be celebrated with due respect from March 17, 2020 to March 26, 2021
through year-long various programs nationally and globally. Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was born at
Tungipara in Gopalgonj on March 17, 1920. Again, on March 26, 2021, Bangladesh will mark the centenary of its
independence. So, the celebration of the year is particularly important as Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was
actively involved in Bangladesh‟s struggle for independence. He spearheaded the Bengalis‟ liberation struggle and
Bangladesh emerged as an independent country from Pakistan on the world map in 1971.
Promoting the role of Bangabandhu at the grassroots level in Bangladesh‟s independence struggle, the return
anniversary of Bangabandhu, the founding anniversary of the Awami League, National Mourning Day and Jail Killing
Day will be celebrated every year as well. There are also plans to produce short films and documentaries to
celebrate the birth anniversary and Mujib anniversary. The year-long programs will be observed with the
participation of mass people involving children, youths and elderly people. On the occasion, various programs like
essay competition, are and cultural competitions and prize giving ceremonies will be held in educational institutions
throughout the year of 2020 and those will continue until March 26, 2021. A number of books on the life and works
of Bangabandhu will be published which will be very useful for knowing the country‟s history and Bangabandhur‟s
struggle for the emancipation of the Bangalee nation. Earlier on January 10, 2020 the countdown for the birth
centenary celebration began through a gala opening ceremony. UNESCO also made the decision unanimously to
celebrate the „Mujib Borsho‟ together with Bangladesh. (284 words)
