He noted that each episode highlights inspiring stories and meaningful initiatives that resonate with people from diverse backgrounds. According to him, the programme has become an important medium for sharing ideas that encourage social progress and community participation.

Dr. Saha described this recognition as a moment of pride, stating that bamboo-based activities are witnessing significant growth and opening new avenues for livelihood and sustainable development.
He further pointed out that the expansion of bamboo industries is playing a crucial role in strengthening the local economy.
