An extraordinary initiative was taken at Kalarmarchara High School’s annual sports competition in Maheshkhali to honor Bangladesh’s national poet, Kazi Nazrul Islam. In tribute to the legendary “Rebel Poet,” a participating team named after him built a replica of Nazrul’s iconic thatched hut using clay.

Nazrul’s contributions to Bengali literature and culture remain unparalleled. His revolutionary spirit, egalitarian philosophy, and creative genius inspire generations. 

This initiative aims to introduce young minds to his legacy uniquely and engagingly. The students’ hands-on effort in recreating the poet’s hut has been widely appreciated by teachers, students, and locals alike.

The school’s headmaster expressed his admiration: “We regularly organize various activities to instill a love for literature and culture among students. This tribute to Nazrul is truly commendable.”

Educators and community members believe such creative initiatives will enhance students’ artistic expression and foster a more profound sense of patriotism and cultural pride.
