Kamrul Islam Siddiqui left an unforgettable contribution to the development of Bangladesh's rural infrastructure. When he joined the Local Government Engineering Department, rural infrastructure work was scattered and investment was minimal. The freedom fighter Kamrul Islam Siddiqui was also a soldier of the country's economic liberation.
The qualities of exceptional leadership were combined in the eventful working life of this man. Young engineers worked continuously under his leadership alongside him in developing the country's infrastructure. Everything that has been developed to this day in the infrastructure of Bangladesh's villages, unions, upazilas and pourashavas has been done under his leadership through LGED. LGED's role in infrastructure development is truly astonishing for a developing country.
With modern technology and efficient management he shaped LGED with a skilful hand, building LGED offices rich in modern management in every district of the country. The nation will forever remember the role he played in building the country's development infrastructure. Under his dynamic leadership the Local Government Engineering Department made a notable contribution to rural infrastructure and the alleviation of poverty. The administrators and engineers of this country have much to learn from the work of Kamrul Islam Siddiqui. He can be called the most successful engineer and manager of this country. Not merely in building infrastructure — his pioneering role was remarkable in numerous fields, including environmental development, water resource management and the devising of strategies for the country to benefit from its share of the waters of international rivers. Wherever and however he found opportunities, he used them to influence others towards modernity and the greater welfare of the people, and got the work done in the country's interest.
Working for the country all his life with devotion and duty, he showed everyone an exemplary path to building the nation. The brilliant strides of this industrious man were made through the pastures of development and success. Over four decades of an eventful working life he won the respect of his colleagues as well as the love of the people of this country. For the coming generations there is ample reason to emulate engineer Kamrul Islam Siddiqui, resplendent at the pinnacle of success and steeped in the spirit of love for the country.
