Prime Minister Tarique Rahman has urged students to keep their surroundings clean, plant trees and show kindness to animals, outlining three simple practices to help build a responsible and compassionate society.
He gave the advice to visiting students during a break in the fourth session of the 13th parliament today (15 November) at the Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban.
The visiting groups included 41 students who secured GPA-5 in the 2026 HSC examinations from educational institutions in Patgram and Hatibandha upazilas of Lalmonirhat, accompanied by six teachers and guardians.
Also among the visitors were 27 students from classes 10 and 11 of The Aga Khan Academy, accompanied by six teachers, and 41 students and two teachers from the Department of Law at BRAC University.
Speaking to the students, the prime minister expressed hope that the younger generation would develop an interest in politics and state governance. However, he advised them to first develop themselves into capable, skilled and responsible citizens before becoming involved in politics.
As his first piece of advice, he urged students to keep their towns, homes and surrounding areas clean and dispose of waste in designated places instead of littering.
He also encouraged them to plant at least one tree during the monsoon to mark their own or a family member’s birthday.
His third piece of advice was to treat all living creatures, including birds and animals, with kindness and compassion.
Earlier, the students received a briefing on the Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban, visited the parliament library and watched a parliamentary session. They later took part in a photo session at the building’s North Plaza.
Information Minister Andaleeve Rahman, State Minister for Local Government, Rural Development and Cooperatives Mir Shahe Alam, Prime Minister’s Press Secretary Saleh Shibli, Additional Press Secretary Atikur Rahman Ruman and Private Secretary-2 to the Prime Minister Mehedul Islam, among others, were present.
