A heartfelt letter from a fifth-grade student expressing her love for music and wish to meet Prime Minister Tarique Rahman turned into a dream come true as the premier invited the young singer to meet him and gifted her a harmonium.
In the letter, which she handed to one of the Prime Minister’s officials during the National Primary Education Award-2026 ceremony last month, the young student wrote about her passion for music, her family’s inability to afford a harmonium and her dream of meeting the Prime Minister.
After reading the letter, Tarique Rahman invited Anushree Roy and her family to the Prime Minister’s Office at the Bangladesh Secretariat, said PM’s Press Secretary Suzauddhowla Sujan Mahmud.
Anushree, a fifth-grade student of Purba Nabonidas Government Primary School in Gangachara upazila of Rangpur, secured first place in the patriotic song category and third place in Nazrul Sangeet at the National Primary Education Medal-2026 competition.
She met the Prime Minister today, accompanied by her parents. During the meeting, the Prime Minister warmly spoke with the young singer, enquired about her musical pursuits and encouraged her to continue practising regularly.
To encourage her musical aspirations, he also handed over the harmonium she had requested in her letter.
Overwhelmed with joy after meeting the Prime Minister, the young singer said, “I never imagined that the Prime Minister would read my letter and invite me for a meeting.”
She said, “I badly needed a harmonium to continue my music practice, but my family could not afford one. So, I wrote everything in a letter and handed it to one of the Prime Minister’s officials during the award ceremony. I never thought the letter would reach him, let alone that he would read it.”
