Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s official Eid-ul-Fitr greeting cards this year, like in the past, contain the drawings done by 11 children with special needs, the PM’s media wing said on Monday.
The prime minister’s Bangla New Year’s greeting cards this year were also done with the drawings of 15 special-need children selected from all across the country, said PM’s Assistant Press Secretary MM Emrul Kayas.
“The artistes of the selected drawings have been given Taka 100,000 each as complementary prize,” he said.

Kayas said the prime minister started sending greeting cards drawn by differently abled children during festivals like Eid-ul-Fitr, Eid-ul-Adha, Bangla New Year (Pahela Boishakh) and English New Year since she assumed the office in 2009.
The PM sent the greeting cards to the speaker, chief justice, cabinet members, members of parliament, political leaders, dignitaries, professionals, military and civil officers, heads of foreign diplomatic missions and organizations based in Dhaka and heads of foreign state or government, said Kayas.
