Shahidur Rahman: Beacon of Hope for Socio Development

Working for the country, for the people of the country, requires courage and an active mind to conquer all challenges. If you want to call yourself a patriot, you must care about your country's citizens. We're talking about the person whose inner voice constantly tells him to work to address the needs of those around him. He couldn't bear the inequity in society, the injustice against people, and their suffering. From a young age, he was enthralled by the prospect of assisting others. 

We're talking about Shahidur Rahman Chowdhury Jabed, who is a role model for social workers whose primary goal is to help people. He has had a passion for assisting others since he was a child. He was interested in a variety of social activities. By joining the humanitarian group Golapganj Helping Hands USA, he expanded the scope of his activity.

Shahidur Rahman Chowdhury Jabed is currently holding the position of General Secretary at Golapganj Helping Hands USA. He has conducted many works to push socio-development. He never feared work for the people; even the Covid situation couldn’t stop him. When people started to neglect the Covid patients and left them behind, he took the initiative to distribute food among the victims of Corona in his Upazila. In the first phase of Corona, he assisted more than 500 families, and in the second phase, he assisted about 250 families. Besides, he took steps to provide maximum support to ensure oxygen service in his area.

The Golapganj Helping Hands community is the first to volunteer for any Gopalganj development project. On the occasion of Mujib Year, 5,000 trees were planted in Golapganj under the direction of Shahidur Rahman as part of a year-long tree planting initiative.

Shadidur Rahman is a true hero who is fighting to turn the country's development wheel. When asked about his future plans for the country's growth, he stated that the first step in uplifting the country should be to eliminate poverty.

According to him, “Only education can reduce poverty.” His dream is to create a better society together where there will be zero illiteracy. Shahidur Rahman has concerned with every sector of social development. He encourages young adults to participate in sports. In a sports event, he said that ‘‘Sports can restrain us from any kind of antisocial or criminal acts’’.

Shahidur Rahman has always had his family by his side in helping people since his childhood. The only goal of his life is to work diligently for the country by overcoming all the obstacles in the way of social service. We can expect much more from him in the interest of the country in the future.
