Nagad has launched a Quran recitation competition titled "Shontan-er Konthe Quran Tilawat," for children of its over 300,000 uddoktas (agents) nationwide.
Since the competition opened on February 5, more than 3,000 children have already confirmed their participation, says a press release.
The competition is structured into three age-based categories: Group A (3 to 6 years), Group B (6+ to 11 years), and Group C (11+ to 16 years). According to the rules, uddoktas will record a video of their children's recitation on smartphone ranging between 1 and 2 minutes and upload it to the designated Google form links along with the required information.
This simple process allows the children of uddoktas from 10 regions across the country to participate from their respective locations.
The submitted video recordings will be evaluated under the supervision of the Nagad Islamic Shariah Supervisory Committee.
In the final round, nine national winners - first, second, and third from each category - will be selected.
Regarding the initiative, Professor Dr. HM Shahidul Islam Barakati, chairman of the Nagad Islamic Shariah Supervisory Committee, said, "Following the previous success, we have launched this initiative again for our uddoktas' children."
