Mainul Islam is a qualified farmer in Naogaon. Mr Islam was very brilliant as a student. He took his higher education from Bangladesh Agricultural University in Mymensingh. He then came back home and started advanced farming. He has two other brothers who are graduates in different disciplines. The specialty of the Islam family is that they all are living in their village and all are renowned in their own fields. Mr. Islam's younger brother, who is a Rajshahi University graduate, is a science teacher in a local school. His youngest brother is a social science graduate who likes to start a local NGO to work for this area. When asked "What makes you decide to stay here in this village?" Mr Islam smiled and said, "Look, it's true that we could leave this village for city life. I could be banker or my brothers could be bureaucrats. But it didn't attract us. We are sons of this soil. Yes, we have education but does education prepare a person only to be an officer? Don't we have any obligation to the soil that has made us what we are?" He also added that not every educated individual should be a job seeker. He added that since his discipline was agriculture, after his education he took the occupation of a farmer. In response to the question whether they had any frustration living in a village, he confirmed that they were indeed very pleased with their life. He said, "I work in my own farm, stay with my family members, pass time with my old friends, and sleep at my own home. All these count a lot."
Mr Islam is right. Many people go to cities and forget or loosen their roots knowingly or unknowingly. Mr Islam and his brothers are great they haven't forgotten their roots. They not only stuck to their own roots, they have been torch bearers for others to be respectful of their roots.
His feeling and obligation to his root made Mainul Islam come back to his village.

Mainul and his brothers are well-educated. In spite of being educated, they are living in their village. They are stuck to their own roots which they love wholeheartedly. They are respected by all. So, they may be our model.
Yes. I agree with the statement because everyone has obligation to their soil. They should love their native land. Besides, if the educated people return to their land and do something utilizing their knowledge, the village and its lifestyle would be developed.
Working on his own farm, staying with his family members. passing time with his old friends and sleeping at his own home- all these help Mr. Islam to lead a pleasing life.
Mainul Islam says this. By this he wants to mean that by virtue of their higher education, they could manage good job in city and lead a comfortable city lifo. But they did not do so. Rather owing to their great love for the attachment to their village they did not leave their village.
Malnul became a farmer as he took his higher education on agriculture. His passion for his root also motivated him to become a furmer.

City life did not attract Mr. Islam. He believes he has duty to his soil that has made him what he is.
Islam brothers could avail all the opportunities of city life. They could have illustrious career but they left to serve their villages to serve their community. So, they can be considered great men.
