An amazing children’s world!

It’s an idyllic scene. Little children are playing in a garden by the river Gorai. Some are reading books under a tree and others are looking at the plants. This is Nasir Uddin’s garden. Nasir Uddin, known as “Nasir Sir” by the locals, is a quiet man, but the people of the area revere him for his vision and works. This is the village Koya in Kumarkhali upazila, about 15 km distant from Kushtia town. The revolutionary Bagha Jatin spent much of his childhood here. This is where Nasir Uddin’s home is, on the banks of the river Gorai. Nasir Uddin has built a park for children by his house. It is replete with flowers, all sorts of fruit trees, plants and herbs. He even has books there for the little ones to read, a perfect recreational spot.
