I feel honored to get opportunity to share something about our beloved organization with you all. At the outset of my briefing, I would like to salute the founder of Mukti Cox's Bazar Mr. Sujit Chowdhury and Professor Someswar Chakravorty for their tremendous effort to establish such a reputed and dedicated humanitarian organization for serving oppressed and depressed people since 1996.

Since January 2009 I am shouldering the responsibility of running the services and expanding its services to the poor. Now Mukti is recognized in Cox's Bazar as an icon of humanity. We are implementing education, health, food security, livelihoods, disaster risk reduction, human rights, women empowerment and emergency humanitarian response programs as a partner of  UNICEF, UNFPA, IOM, UNHCR, Children on the Edge, PKSF, BRAC, Oxfam in Bangladesh, IVY Japan, Plan International, World Fish, CARE Bangladesh with the financial assistance of USAID, FCDO, KOICA, GFATM, GAC, DFAT, UNOPS and other donors.

At present we are serving directly 425000 families with 1750000 individuals with our various services in Cox's Bazar and Chattogram district. In addition, we are also serving 50000 families or 300000 individuals of Forcibly Displaced Myanmar Nationals in 33 camps of Ukhiya, Teknaf and Hatiya upazila under Cox's Bazar and Noakhali district after a serious violation of human rights inside the Myanmar.

Now total 3125 employees are working with us in 24 projects to serve the distressed community, I have seen substantial growth of Mukti despite of all challenges it faced in the journey of development. I am glad to say that now Mukti is a name of unique service rendering organization of this arena.

Since the starting of its journey in 1996 with blessings of and guidance from its illustrated partners it has travelled a long way and has stepped into development era with a successful track record of accomplishments. Development partners, including bilateral and multilateral donors, international organizations, UN families, government sectors and pro-poor civil society organizations assisted us in bringing socio-economic changes in the communities and to make our mission a success.

I am grateful to our honorable advisor Advocate Shibu Lal Debdas for his continuous guidance, efforts and contributions to make our organization successful. I am thankful to honorable president Mr. Santosh Sharma for his dynamic leadership and effective guidance and support. I am very much thankful to honorable Secretary Mr. Babla Paul for his continuous efforts and contributions to achieve the objectives of our organization.

l, on behalf of Mukti Cox's Bazar acknowledge the all-out supports of resource sharing partners and my colleagues and staffs who contributed in achieving our goal. Also, express gratitude to the staffs who actually felt the pains and pleasure in bringing this success into reality. In addition, I am thankful to the people of program areas and stakeholders who played catalytic role in achievement of the organization.

Finally, Mukti is determined to work with vulnerable community for making self-reliant and enlightened society. Thanks, from core of my heart to all of you, wishing a great success of our beloved organization Mukti Cox's Bazar.

Human civilizations are blooming today only because of enduring efforts of some extraordinary people who have created an unforgettable place for themselves in the history of mankind. We cannot imagine a developed and cultured world without the contribution of these remarkable people. They have played a decisive role in transforming and reforming this world through their lives and activities.

Swami Vivekananda was one of them. Great speeches of great men are not time bound. They are eternal and they have ever lasting impact. They remain active from age to age to inspire, enrich and enlighten common people creating a peaceful congenial atmosphere in this world and the world to come. I am just talking about Chicago address of Swamiji, and to talk about myself I gain immensely from contents of those speeches.

They have broadened my heart and outlook. His clarion call is to render service for humanity and human being. I think to myself, at our early age we keep under the care and kindness of our parents. Again, later in life when facing sufferings of disease and old age we are again dependent on kindness and co-operation of others. Then as a fellow human being a duty casts upon us, at the middle of our life, to help others in all possible ways and if such a practice grows once that will continue till our eternal departure. Even from a little service humanity will benefit immensely. Having felt such an urge and considering men irrespective of cast, creed and religion as the Supreme Being and more valuable than all the wealth of the world we have ventured to set up an organisation which will be a permanent where about of help seeking poor and down trodden people of this part of our country.

With this noble goal we started our journey in 1996. The name of our organisation is Mukti - to make common people free from poverty, illiteracy, malignant prejudice. After traveling long way today I am brave enough to say that within our limitation our unselfish labor has been crowned with success. No hesitation to tell that in this mission my honorable teacher advocate Sujit Chowdhury and professor Someswar Chakravorty played pioneer role and after departure of Sujit Sir from this country another great man Mr. Bimal Chandra Dey Sarker joined us and embrace the mission to achieve the target. Now Mukti is renamed as Mukti Cox's Bazar.

It has become a popular name in this arena. As a non-government voluntary development organization, it is implementing a good number of programme/ project necessary for material and ethical development of the society. I have firm belief that we will be able to carry on our business for the cause of humanity, for a peaceful, happy, prosperous society where love and fraternity will dominate. My heartfelt invitation to my friends and colleagues of home and abroad -please come and visit us and judge whether we are acting as rational being.

Here I like to end wishing bright future for Mukti Cox's Bazarl. Greetings.
