QS○ বাংরাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ দ্বাদশ খন্ড Information Bank During this period work of the bank has progressed satisfactorily under the guidance of Dr. A Majumdar, Reader in Physics, Dacca University. Some leading newspapers in Calcutta have covered the achievement of the Bank. Sri Durgadas Tarafdar has taken a keen interest in it and given some valuable suggestion for extending its area of activities. Mr. Ram Ray has taken up the responsibility of making photocopies of some important news items. We have already advanced him an amount of Rs.2000 for doing so. As the voluntary workers of the Bank have expressed their desire to take the bank to Dacca for continuing the job there, it has been decided by a meeting attended by Dr. A.K. Ray, Secretary, Bangladesh Sikshak Samiti, Janab Amirul Islam, M.N.A., Chairman, Bangladesh Volunteer Service Corps, Mr. Ram Ray and our representatives that the bank will ultimately be shifted to Dacca under the custody of the Bangladesh Volunteer Service Corps of the Dacca University. Camp Schools Camp schools mentioned in the earlier report functioned smoothly during his period. Only during the last part of December when the evacuees started moving inside Bangladesh some of the camp schools also vanished in the process. The International Rescue Committee has spent some sizeable amount of money for purchasing books for the students of these schools. The lists of such books were prepared jointly by the Camp the Schools Directorate and our representative. In this connection a reference may be made of Senator Edward Kennedy, who, in a letter to us has appreciated the efforts on these lines. Mr. V. N. Thiagarajan, Executive Secretary, Indian National Committee, World University Service visited some of the camp schools and was very much satisfied with their functioning. He has promised a sizeable financial help for educational programme for Bangladesh pupils. International Contact At long last our continuous efforts in course of the last 9 months to awaken the people of Middle East have achieved some initial success. Letters from Kuwait and Afghanistan enquiring about the details regarding Bangladesh have started coming in. Probably in the near future a greater response will be forthcoming, if we continue our efforts of informing them about the reality of Bangladesh and its struggle for liberation. Our Ceylonese friend, Sun. Nimal Perera, has played a significant role in exposing the despicable role of Sri Tridip Ray, M. N. A. from Chittagong Hill Tract, Bangladesh, while he was on tour as Yahya's representative to Ceylon. Sm. Perera has sent a Buddist hymn of Fourteenth Century wishing the prosperity of Bangladesh to the President and Prime Minister of Bangladesh through us. We have already forwarded the same to prime Minister of Bangladesh. Mrs. Alvin F. Arnold, and Mr. Trevon J. Walton, Secretary and ViceChairman respectively of youth International Committee, New Zealand, visited our Office on November 30.
