"Maroof Sharmeen Smriti Sangshad" -- a signboard can be seen at Jatramora near Kanchpur intersection. It is located at Rupgonj in Narayangonj. Anybody can see it sitting in the bus as it is close to the Dhaka Sylhet highway . But nobody knows how many humanitarian activities are going on through the Smriti Sangshad. The founder of the Sangshad is a local philanthropist. He has established a high school and a public library. In the meantime, he has introduced scholarship for the poor and talented students of the primary schools, madrassahs and high schools. As a result, the students are getting inspiration and they are trying hard to get scholarship.

The examples set by him are worth emulating.
