Mukti Celebrates 30th Foundation Anniversary!

On 4 January 2026, Mukti Cox’s Bazar marked its 30th Foundation Anniversary through a simple yet meaningful celebration held at the conference hall of its head office, “Mukti Bhaban.” The event commenced with the ceremonial cutting of an anniversary cake, symbolizing three decades of dedicated service and commitment to humanitarian and development causes.

During the event, the founding President & current advisor of Mukti Cox's Bazar, eminent educationist Professor Someswar Chakravorty and former President & current Advisor of the organization, eminent lawyer Advocate Shibu Lal Debdas shared the history of the organization’s emergence. They reflected on the challenges following the devastating cyclone of 1991, which eventually inspired the establishment of Mukti Cox’s Bazar. Recalling the vision behind the organization, they stated, “Mukti Cox’s Bazar was founded with the objective of eliminating illiteracy, poverty, superstition, inequality, and social backwardness, while striving for the overall emancipation and well-being of people.” They expressed their hope that those founding ideals would continue to be reflected in the work and commitment of every staff.

Professor Jebunnesa, Vice-President of the Executive Committee, extended her greetings to all participants and emphasized, “The greatest strength of Mukti Cox’s Bazar lies in its principles of integrity, equality, and transparency.” She urged all the staff to embrace these core values and remain dedicated to their respective responsibilities while upholding the organization’s long-standing reputation for honesty and accountability.

In his remarks, the Chief Executive of the organization stated, “Mukti Cox’s Bazar conducts all its activities based on the principle ‘We, for the People’. Since its inception, the organization has remained committed to the noble mission of serving humanity and promoting human welfare. Mukti has never deviated, even for a moment, from the path of public service and social well-being that inspired its journey three decades ago.”

The anniversary celebration, moderated by Bimal Chandra Dey Sarker (Chief Executive of Mukti Cox’s Bazar), was attended by Advocate Sujit Chowdhury, one of the founders of the organization; Professor Ajit Das; esteemed members of the General and Executive Committees; the Deputy Chief Executive; members of the Senior Management Committee; Ms. Rie Kundu and the Project Coordinator from IVY Japan; and staff from all levels of Mukti Cox’s Bazar.

He thanked everyone for their continued dedication and support in advancing the organization’s mission and formally declared the event closed.

The celebration served not only as an occasion to commemorate 30 years of achievements and service but also as an opportunity to reaffirm the organization’s commitment to its founding values and its vision of building a more equitable, educated, and empowered society.
