The second season of ‘Notun Kuri Sports’, a national platform aimed at nurturing the talent and creativity of children and teenagers, was formally inaugurated in Kushtia on Thursday afternoon.

Prime Minister Tarique Rahman inaugurated the competition as the chief guest through a video conference at a colourful ceremony held at Shaheed Abrar Fahad Stadium in the district town.

Deputy Commissioner Mohammad Touhid Bin Hasan presided over the event, attended by District Council Administrator and former MP Principal Sohrab Uddin, District BNP Convener Uddin Ahmed, Member Secretary Engineer Zakir Hossain Sarker, Superintendent of Police Md Aminul Islam, among others.

Speakers said ‘Notun Kuri’ would provide children and teenagers with opportunities to develop their hidden talents, encourage cultural activities and help them grow into responsible citizens.

The inauguration was followed by cultural performances with the participation of local child artists, creating a festive atmosphere at the venue.

Organisers said auditions and preliminary selection rounds for Season 2 would begin in Kushtia soon.

Deputy Commissioner Touhid Bin Hasan said the initiative aims to discover talented children who could become future athletes, leaders and contributors to nation-building.

He said the district had initially set a registration target of 11,000 participants but had already registered 15,000 through collective efforts, with plans to increase the number further.

District BNP Member Secretary Engineer Zakir Hossain Sarker said ‘Notun Kuri’ was more than a competition, providing an important platform to discover young talent in sports, culture and other creative fields.
