Rikta Akhter: A beacon of our confidence
Today, Rikta Akhter’s school has 294 students, from elementary to fifth grade. In 2020, the school was included in the MPO list. The school, housed in a semi-pucca building, now has 21 teachers. Rikta now serves as the president of the school management committee. This is a brief history of Rikta Akhter’s personal battle and struggle. Just a week ago, many people didn’t know her name or her inspiring story. There have been some reports about her in the media before, but they likely went unnoticed amid other news. However, today Rikta Akhter has emerged so brightly that no one can overlook her. Now, many people in Bangladesh and around the world know the name Rikta Akhter Banu. The reason for this is that Rikta Akhter has been included in BBC’s list of the 100 most inspiring and influential women of 2024. This is not just a matter of pride for Rikta Akhter, but for the people of Bangladesh.

Musk’s Mars dream gets a boost with Trump in White House
Since Donald Trump's second term as President of the United States, Elon Musk has become the center of global media attention. Some outlets are even speculating, "Did Trump really win, or was it actually Elon Musk?" Those who follow international politics closely know that Musk had placed a massive bet on Trump's victory in this election. He spent a staggering $11.9 crore on Trump's campaign. Musk didn’t just stop only spending money; he actively participated in the campaign as well. Trump referred him as the biggest star of the Republican Party. Some are now saying that it wasn’t Trump who won this election—rather, it was Elon Musk. After Trump's victory, Musk posted a photo on his X (formerly Twitter) account. Even after purchasing Twitter, Musk had shared this image, showing himself walking into Twitter's headquarters holding a bathroom sink. He edited the same image and reposted it, this time showing himself entering the White House holding the sink, with the same caption: “Let that sink in!”, meaning, "haven't you understood the matter?"
