Today (7 April), we bid farewell to Md Shehab Uddin Bhuiyan, the Director-General of The Universal Academy and a shining star in the field of Bangladeshi creative publishing. The news of his passing has left us in deep sorrow and disbelief. It is hard to accept that Shehab is no longer with us, as the announcement of his departure brings immense pain.

Shehab Uddin Bhuiyan was a person of integrity, dedication, friendship, and a symbol of youthfulness. His contributions to the fields of literature, culture, and human welfare will be remembered forever. He was not only a respected writer and editor but also a leader whose life was devoted to promoting education and culture in Bangladesh.
In addition to his remarkable creative work, Shehab’s character was marked by profound patriotism and humanity. He was a writer who edited numerous influential works, especially the politically significant books Banglar Nabajagoron and Her Life, Her Story. His role in the publishing world went beyond writing; he was an activist and social worker whose impact will never be forgotten.

Throughout his life, Shehab faced numerous challenges, but he always confronted them with youthful energy and determination. Even though he is no longer with us, the lessons, memories, and inspiration he leaves behind will remain with us forever.
We extend our deepest condolences to his grieving family and friends. May Allah grant Shehab Uddin Bhuiyan a place in Jannatul Ferdous. His lifestyle, work, and ideals will continue to guide us in the days to come.
Long live Shehab! Your absence is irreplaceable, but the legacy of your work will always guide our path.
