During his tenure as the Finance Minister for two consecutive terms, Mr. Muhith's outstanding contributions were not only confined to the expansion of the country's economy, but also left a revered footprint in the social and cultural spheres of Bangladesh. He has been recognized by World Bank, IMF, IDB, ADB and different organizations of the United Nations.

After obtaining independence in 1971, gaining UN membership in 1974 was a crucial step forward for our country. We are honored to have Mr. Muhith, whose role in shaping public opinion in favor of the liberation war in the United States is commendable. Through Ogroj, IPDC intends to initiate a digital memoir on such narratives and looks forward to creating a dialogue about their accounts and inspiring the audience."
