The new executive committee of the Bangladesh Television Playwrights’ Association for 2024-2026 was formed yesterday, Friday, May 3, 2024, at 4 PM during the biennial general meeting held in the seminar room of the Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy. Rajib Moni Das, a novelist, playwright, and producer, was elected as the Organizational Secretary in this newly formed committee, having previously served as the Office Secretary in the 2022-2024 committee.

Rajib Moni Das expressed his gratitude to everyone involved for his election as the Organizational Secretary. He said, “I was committed to my previous responsibilities, and I am overwhelmed to have received my current role. I pray to everyone that I can fulfill this responsibility appropriately.”

When asked about the current state of drama, Rajib Moni Das commented, “Due to budget constraints, the number of characters in our dramas is decreasing. However, I have never written to order. Family-centric stories are the essence of my dramas. Establishing a character often requires many other characters, which are the ornaments of the drama. It is impossible to produce a good drama without these ornaments.”
