His contribution as a successful statesman is recognized internationally today. Pure patriotism, foresight, strong mentality and human qualities have made him sit in the seat of world leadership.

All the great achievements of the post-75 Bengali nation have been achieved under the leadership of public leader Sheikh Hasina.

Along with the continuous development of Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina has many achievements. He has received many international awards and medals. The number of international awards given to Sheikh Hasina is also many.

In the same month, Dr. Sheikh Hasina. Kalam Smriti International Excellence Award Medal.

Before this, some famous universities and institutes of the world gave medals to the Prime Minister for playing an important role in establishing peace, promoting democracy and socio-economic development.

Prime Minister received IPS International Achievement Award and Special Distinction Award for Leadership in 2018 for his visionary leadership on Rohingya issue and responsible policies and humanitarianism in providing shelter to Rohingyas.

This leader, a visionary advocate of building digital Bangladesh, organized the party after taking the leadership of Awami League in 1981 through a long movement and struggle and won the elections for the first time in 1996, the second in 2008, the third in 2014 and the fourth in 2018 to place the party in the leadership seat of the country. be ableThe beloved granddaughter of grandfather Sheikh Lutfar Rahman and grandmother Sahera Khatun, Sheikh Hasina spent her childhood and youth in Tungipara. They are five brothers and sisters including Sheikh Kamal, Sheikh Jamal, Sheikh Rehana and Sheikh Russell. Currently nobody is alive except Sheikh Hasina and Rehana. On the night of August 15, 1975, all including father Bangabandhu and mother Fazilatunnecha were killed by the merciless bullets of the assassins.

Sheikh Hasina's education began in a school in Tungipara. In the 1954 elections, Bangabandhu was elected as a member of the Provincial Council and brought his family to Dhaka. Then they moved to a rented house on Rajni Bose Lane in old Dhaka.

When Bangabandhu became a member of the United Front Cabinet, the family started living in the house number 3 Mintu Road. Sheikh Hasina was admitted to Tikatuli Women's Education Temple in Dhaka city. Now this educational institution is known as Sherebangla Girls School and College. His city bus turn begins.

She passed her secondary from Azimpur Girls' School in 1965 and her higher secondary from Intermediate Girls' College (now Badrunnessa Govt. Mahila Mahavidyalaya) in 1967. In the same year, he was admitted to Dhaka University with honors in Bengali language and literature and received his bachelor's degree in 1973.

While studying at Sheikh Hasina Intermediate Girls College, she was elected the vice-president of the student council. He was a member of Dhaka University Chhatra League and general secretary of Rokeya Hall branch. As a leader of the Chhatra League, she actively participated in the anti-Ayub movement and the 6-point movement.

In 1966 Bangabandhu raised an unprecedented national awakening in East Bengal due to the 6-point demand. The ruling group got scared and arrested Bangabandhu. Severe repression began. The Agartala Conspiracy Case was filed by the Pakistani ruling group against Bangabandhu while in detention. His life and family are in deep danger and suffering.

Bangabandhu's interest in these stormy days in 1968 nuclear scientist Dr. Sheikh Hasina got married to Wazed Mia. After Bangabandhu was arrested on the night of March 25, 1971 and taken to Karachi, Pakistan, the entire family was kept under house arrest in a different house in Dhaka. On July 27, 1971, Sheikh Hasina became the mother of her first child, Joy, under house arrest during the liberation war in the besieged Bangladesh. On December 9, 1972, daughter Puthul was born.

Before Bangabandhu's family was killed in 1975, Sheikh Hasina went to Europe with her younger sister Sheikh Rehana. While staying there, he got the news of Bangabandhu's death in his family. As there was no environment to return home immediately, she left Europe and took political asylum in India with her husband and children.

The subsequent history of Sheikh Hasina is the history of how she became the backbone of the Bengali nation in the journey of the twenty-first century. Bangabandhu's dream of a golden Bengal is the history of becoming a beacon of light for the Bengali nation with the responsibility of realizing that dream.

In 1981, he was elected the president of the party in the biennial conference of Awami League. And on May 17 of the same year, he returned to his motherland Bangladesh after ending his long 6-year exile. He led the historic mass movement of 1990.

Awami League formed the government after 21 years after getting the majority of seats in the 1996 elections and took over as the Prime Minister of the country for the first time on June 23 of that year. On August 21, 2004, there was a conspiracy to kill him by throwing a grenade at a public meeting of Awami League at Bangabandhu Avenue. He miraculously survived but 24 people were killed and more than 500 activists were injured in that attack.

In the parliamentary elections held on December 29, 2008, the Awami League won a landslide victory with more than two-thirds of the seats. Through this victory, Sheikh Hasina was elected as the Prime Minister of Bangladesh for the second time.

After winning the parliamentary elections on 5 January 2014 for the third time and in December 2018, he is serving as the Prime Minister of Bangladesh for the fourth time.

He has earned a reputation for the country in the international arena with his political wisdom and diplomatic skills. He has brought glory and success to the country. Political analysts have called the Prime Minister a successful statesman in the current world by highlighting the political situation of the past year and the ongoing development of the country.

According to them, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has now made her place as a world-class leader with her skills and wisdom.

Art culture and literature enthusiast Sheikh Hasina also wrote. He has written and edited more than 30 books. Among the published books are: 'Sheikh Mujib My Father', 'Black and White', 'Why Do They Knock', 'Birth of Dictatorship in Bangladesh', 'Poverty Eradication', 'Our Little Russell Gold', 'My Dream My Struggle', 'Militarism' Vs Democracy', 'Development of International Relations', 'Endangered Democracy', 'Despicable Humanity', 'WeI have come to speak for the people', 'Across the green field' etc.Finally, those who have witnessed Sheikh Hasina in the last 13 years cannot deny that she has been able to take herself to unique heights as a leader. His leadership qualities were not only appreciated among the people of the country, but his leadership was appreciated in the world court. From the leader of Bangladesh, he has established himself as a world leader.In addition to conducting development activities within the country, she has always been involved in various issues including climate change and women's empowerment in the international arena, so international organizations and heads of state of major countries have praised her work. Even his economic activities and development plans have been praised by the leaders of different countries of the world. The government's success in dealing with Covid-19 has been praised globally. Under his leadership, recommendations for inclusion of Bangladesh in the list of developing countries have been received. Sheikh Hasina's government is trying to make Bangladesh a developed country in 2041. He has worked tirelessly for the past 13 years to achieve this goal. And the honorable Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has become a symbol of the hopes and aspirations of about 17 crore people of Bangladesh. It is because of his visionary leadership that Bangladesh has achieved the position it is today. But the continuity of the government has helped him achieve this goal because in the political reality of a country like Bangladesh, if there is no continuity of the government, development is hindered.

The people of Bangladesh trusted him and allowed him to work according to his plan.We believe that the people of Bangladesh will have the same faith in her in the upcoming 12th National Parliament Elections to be held in 2023 because the thing that we all should keep in mind at this moment is that - Sheikh Hasina's alternative has not yet been created in the political context of Bangladesh. Just as Bangabandhu and Bangladesh are used synonymously, Sheikh Hasina has now become another name for the development of Bangladesh. As a result, while maintaining the continuity of development, Bangladesh is now moving towards a developed country under the leadership of Awami League and the leadership of Bangabandhu's daughter Sheikh HasinaAnd dedicated to the economic emancipation of the people of Bengal, leader Sheikh Hasina, the worthy successor of her father, this daughter has entered the pages of history as a unique person and leader of Awami League. I wish her good health and long life on her birthday.
