SHANTO-MARIAM FOUNDATION

Md. Imamul Kabir Shanto, the founder of the Shanto-Mariam Foundation, is a valiant freedom fighter of the nation. He joined the liberation war at the young age of seventeen. The goal of the liberation war that the Father of the Nation, Bangabondhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, called for was not only to gain the geographical freedom, but also to establish a golden Bengal of a dignified nation through economic emancipation and cultural development of the people where economic disparity would be eliminated. We achieved the geographic independence, but neither we achieved the economic freedom nor the cultural development. With strong commitment to fulfilling this task and bringing the benefits of independence to the common people through the expansion of job-oriented, creative and cultural education, Mr. Shanto established the Shanto-Mariam Foundation and its affiliated service and human-welfare-oriented organizations and educational institutions.
