Mohiuddin Ahmed ( Bacchu Mia ) and Aganagar Union Council , Bhairab .

Mohiuddin Ahmed (1920-1985)

Aganagar is one of the Union Councils (Union Parishad) of Bhairab Thana of Kishoreganj district. Most of the villages of this union council are in low-lying areas and during the Rainy season, all of these villages look like tiny islands. The lives around these areas are pretty hard and frequently their lives are affected by different sort of Natural disasters. 

Mohiuddin Ahmed ( locally known as Bacchu Mia) was one of the persons, who had spent the most of the time of his life to develop the fates of thousands of  poor,  and uneducated people around his village Aganagar . 

He was born in Aganagar in 1920s .He completed his Bachelor of Arts( BA) from Govt.Comilla Victoria college in early 1950s.  He was the first individual who had completed Bachelor Degree at that time in Aganagar and adjacent areas. Even his father Monir Uddin Ahmed had his SSC ( at this time known as Entrance ) in early 1920s ,though Mohiuddin Ahmed lost his father in his childhood but he was strongly motivated by patriotism .

He could have joined in Civil Service , rather joining in any lucrative jobs, he engaged himself in teaching .He started his career  as a lecturer in a college ; later joined in a school as  Headmaster. After working couple of years in schools and colleges, then he got back to his own village Aganagar . He had been elected Chairman of Aganagar Union Council for couple of times until 1971.

 During the liberation war of Bangladesh in 1971, he tremendously helped the Freedom fighters by taking the risk of his own life. A  large contingent of freedom fighters used to stay and continue their operations and activities from  his home- compound, even they used  his home  as a reservoir of their arms and ammunitions during the liberation war of 1971 . During the tenure of his chairmanship he tired to develop the communication infrastructure by building up many bridges. He tried couple of times to established a High School in Aganagar but some anti- social , criminal groups vandalised his great projects every time.

He dedicated his whole life for the development of his own society and people . He was  a great patriot and never liked to be exposed. After struggle with cancer for few years ,this great patriot paid the debt of the Nature on 10 th August 1985. May ALLAH ( SWT) rest his soul in the Heaven forever .
