In his speech, the guest Md. Sabur Khan said, ‘Such support to the children of professionals associated with the Technology Media Guild will add more enthusiasm to their educational life. This is a great initiative and such initiatives are needed in other areas of society as well.’ Addressing the students, he said that focusing on the interests of students from an early age will make it easier to determine what they want to build their career in later life and they will be able to prepare accordingly.

Tanvir Ibrahim said, ‘Students are now more addicted to mobile or various devices. However, parents should take their children to the field to play games instead of focusing on mobile devices. They should ensure that they do not get addicted and use digital devices properly.’
