Sister Organizations and Associate Activities of BONDHU

Kazi Nazrul Islam, Bangladesh's national poet, deeply embedded his country's essence, people, and natural beauty within his literary creations. His works echoed themes of rebellion, humanism, love, nature's magnificence, equality, and secular principles. Nazrul, a passionate advocate for universal humanity, held a profound admiration for the natural beauty of Mother Bengal. The Bangladesh Bondhu Foundation embarked on a pioneering mission to establish Kabi Nazrul Park in Jadavpur village, Sakhipur Upazila, Tangail District. This visionary initiative aims to ignite public interest in Nazrul's literary heritage while raising awareness of his reverence for nature, environmental conservation, and ideals.

Dr. Engr. Khalequzzaman, the Program Manager of the Bangladesh Bondhu Foundation (BONDHU) and President of Bashori - A Nazrul Center, conceived this park as a unique thematic space to encapsulate Nazrul's profound literary contributions. Starting its operations in 2022, the park spans around 9.5 acres, featuring a gallery meticulously showcasing Nazrul's literary works, delving into his contemplations on literature, nature, and the environment. The park also endeavors to cultivate over two hundred plant varieties mentioned in Nazrul's writings, encompassing a diverse range of flora like roses, lilies, jasmine, and many others. The meticulous plan includes nurturing approximately 120 varieties of roses and 50 varieties of China Rose gardens, along with creating water bodies to accommodate aquatic plants.

The ultimate goal is for the park to serve as a remarkable tribute to Nazrul's literary legacy, providing an exceptional space to study his works amidst nature's embrace. It aspires to be a recreational haven and a sanctuary for diverse wildlife, fostering an environment conducive to the flourishing of birds, butterflies, and other fauna.

Bashori- A Nazrul Centre is one of the sister organizations of the Bangladesh Bondhu Foundation (BONDHU). BONDHU and Bashori work together hand in hand to tackle environmental issues and create awareness as well as foster humanistic value among common people. 

Human civilization has stepped into the 21^st century, nonetheless, the conflicts of human beings have not stopped all over the world including Bangladesh. Exploitation, deprivation, and injustice are incessantly affecting human society, trampling humanity. In this distraught time, some visionaries envisage a world based on unfettered equality. Poet Kazi Nazrul Islam composed literature and music with a view to shaping such a utopian world. He had always tried to implement this ideal not only in the composition of literature and music but also in his life and work. There is no alternative to enthuse people of Nazrul consciousness shaping an egalitarian society. The fruitful upshot of this reflection is the auspicious establishment of Bashori. The founder of Bashori is Dr. Eng. Khalequzzaman. Manifested in Nazrul spirit, his long-cherished dream is to disseminate Nazrul's vision and ideals among the people of home and abroad. Some devoted individuals including Suchitra Hajong, and Jakir Hossain joined as cohorts of his initiative. On 20^th Kartik 1421 Bangla, 4^th November 2014 AD, the journey of the Bashori ushered in by offering wreaths at the mausoleum of National Poet Kazi Nazrul Islam. 

BONDHU Training Centre is another sister concern of the Bangladesh Bondhu Foundation (BONDHU). The training center was inaugurated by the officials of the head office of  Bangladesh Bondhu Foundation (BONDHU) in January 2020.
