Mabia Akhter Simanta has captured tremendous attention for her astounding performance at the South Asian Games 2016, bringing home the Games’ first gold medal in the women weightlifting category. Moreover, her tears of joy and show of patriotism during the Bangladesh National Anthem at the presentation ceremony touched the heart of millions.
Nando’s, an international food chain in Bangladesh brought by MGH Restaurants Private Limited (MRPL), honoured her achievement by presenting her a crest and appreciation certificate on March 7 at their Gulshan 1 outlet in view of the International Women’s Day 2016.
The program was attended by Mabia Akhter Simanta herself, Mohith-ul Bari, associate director of MRPL and other Nando’s officials. Nando’s believes that women like Mabia stand as a role model for all others not only in Bangladesh but around the globe. Her achievement and dedication represents the capability of all women to equally participate in all forms of work, which are usually male dominated.
