Independent Television Published Documentary News

We are deeply grateful to Independent Television and its Meherpur correspondent, Mr. Rajibul Haque. From the very beginning, Independent Television has supported us by broadcasting our stories every year — helping us grow and inspiring us to do even better. Their consistent coverage has been not only a source of pride but also a great motivation for our entire team.

Documentary Filming

On August 12, 2014, Mr. Rajibul Haque visited our main office to record a video segment. We were delighted to learn that he was preparing a documentary-based news feature about our Founder & CEO, Munshi Jahangir Zinnat (Hirok).

The filming session was an exciting experience for all of us. Our team arranged everything — lighting, camera setup, sound, and environment — which took nearly three hours to complete. As always, Mr. Rajibul Haque was friendly and cooperative, helping us organize the entire shoot smoothly.

Broadcast on Independent Television

On September 6, 2014, the documentary was broadcast on Independent Television’s program “Ashar Bangladesh.” The one-hour show began at 10:00 PM, and our segment was aired at 10:48 PM, running for 2 minutes and 34 seconds. The story primarily focused on the journey and contributions of Mr. Munshi Jahangir Zinnat (Hirok) — portraying him as an inspiring example for freelancers across Bangladesh.

Story Summary

The video described Hirok’s remarkable journey:

“Earning a good living from freelancing is not the only story of Munshi Jahangir Zinnat (Hirok). What makes him different is his dedication to teaching others. Nearly 1,500 people have already received training from him, and about 600 freelancers are now successfully working on various online marketplaces.

If anyone lacks the ability to buy a computer, modem, or internet connection, Hirok personally helps them financially.

While studying for his BBA at Northern University Bangladesh, Hirok first learned about freelancing from a friend. After finding success on international marketplaces, he decided to choose freelancing as a full-time career instead of a traditional job.

Although he earns over one lakh taka per month, Hirok’s greatest passion is helping others. Since 2009, he has been offering free freelancing training through his organization, Unique Soft. Starting from his home, he later moved to a rented office as the number of trainees grew — covering all the expenses himself.”

The report also featured testimonials from several of Hirok’s students:

• Imran Hossain, a web developer on UpWork, said:

  “Before joining Hirok Sir’s training, I was unemployed. Now I earn 10,000–15,000 BDT per month, support my family, pay for my education, and manage my own expenses. I’m now self-employed.”

• Mojnu from Darshana added:

  “I’m learning graphic design from Hirok Sir. He never gets bored, even if I ask the same question multiple times. He’s always patient and caring.”

• Shamima, another trainee, said:

  “I’m learning freelancing here. Hirok Sir is very helpful and dedicated. I’ve learned a lot and believe I will be successful through his guidance.”

The documentary also mentioned how Hirok’s influence has spread beyond Meherpur — attracting trainees from nearby districts such as Chuadanga, Kushtia, and Jhenaidah.

Hirok’s Vision

Hirok dreams of a future where people he has trained will, in turn, teach many others — creating a ripple effect of knowledge and opportunity across the world. His belief is simple yet powerful:

“If one person learns and teaches another, freelancing can empower an entire nation.”
