Sheikh Hasina Mother of Humanity Social Welfare Award on cards

The social welfare ministry has chalked out plans to introduce the ‘Sheikh Hasina Mother of Humanity Social Welfare Award’ soon.

The social welfare ministry has already prepared a draft policy to soon introduce the ‘Sheikh Hasina Mother of Humanity Social Welfare Award’ for the first time, sources in the ministry disclosed.

The ministry will give the proposed award to five Bangladeshi persons and organisations—both private and governmental—every year, in recognition of substantial contributions to several fields, including those of social welfare, humanitarianism and social justice, the sources added.

Social welfare minister Rashed Khan Menon told The Independent that they want to introduce the proposed award from next year, if approved by the higher authorities. “We have already prepared a draft policy and proposal to introduce the award. It would be sent to the authorities concerned soon,” he said.

“Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is an international personality. She became the mother of humanity as she sheltered about 112 lakh Rohingyas who fled to Bangladesh to escape persecution and genocide by Myanmar army. And that’s why we can introduce the ‘Sheikh Hasina Mother of Humanity Social Welfare Award’ for encouraging those people or organisations who will work for providing social justice and humanitarian assistance to the people,” the minister added.

According to the social welfare ministry’s proposal, the proposed award would be provided to persons or organisations, both private and governmental, in five fields.

These five fields are: A) in recognition of contributions to rehabilitate and work for aged people, widows and deserted and destitute women; B) in recognition of contributions to help create employment, self-dependency and social security of persons of those who are financially insolvent, marginal and underprivileged; C) in recognition of contributions to help develop lifestyles, create employment, provide welfare to the disabled and neurologically challenged people; D) in recognition of contributions to help develop, welfare and rehabilitate vagabonds, prisoners, children involved in criminal activities and underprivileged people; and E) in recognition of contributions to help empower the people in respect of the environment, health, education, mental health, lifestyles and intellectuality.

Each awardee will receive a gold medal, a replica of the award, a certificate of honour and a cash prize of Tk. 2 lakh. The ministry is currently responsible for the programmes and the provision of social and rehabilitative services to improve the physical, social, emotional and economic well-being of disadvantaged groups.

Sheikh Hasina, born on September 28, 1947, is the incumbent and 10th Prime Minister of Bangladesh, in office since January 2009. She is the elder daughter of the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. She is also the president of the ruling Awami League. Different universities and institutions of repute across the world have conferred various degrees upon Sheikh Hasina for her outstanding contributions to peace, democracy and socio-economic development.
