Meritorious Mehedi Hasan Khan was studying in Mymensingh Medical College. But the teachers said, this boy is unfit to be a doctor. Mehdi should leave medical college. Because apart from studying medicine, day and night, forgetting to eat and sleep, Mehdi was fighting another battle with a small computer in the hostel room. Fight for Bengali language.
The 18-year-old was dreaming of making the Bengali language accessible to the whole world. He finds it very difficult to write Bangla on the computer, and Mehdi does not like that method. So he wants a software, with the help of which it is possible to write Bangla by typing in English letters.
Friends call Mehdi crazy, someone wastes time to study medicine! Again, for the convenience of writing in Bengali! But Mehedi is Mehedi. The people of his country can give their lives for the Bengali language, and they cannot give up their career to make that Bengali easier in terms of writing! Mehdi did not give up.
March 26, 2003, is a special day not only in Mehdi's life, but in the lives of millions of Bengalis. On that day, Mehdi brought 'Avro' software in front of the world. Which is the most preferred Bengali writing software of Bengalis spread all over the world today. Today, as soon as a Bengali computer or laptop is opened, a slogan appears on the screen, 'Let the language be open'. This is the slogan made by Dr. Mehedi Hasan Khan. His dream was to make the language open to all, not to be bound by complexity.
But today he is Dr. Mehedi Hasan Khan. Despite thousands of neglects, he has successfully passed the doctorate with the discovery of 'Avro'. Today, 'Avro Keypad' is being widely used in government offices starting from the common people of India and Bangladesh. Identity card is being written from government file. Mehdi's discovery has saved billions of rupees in both countries. We don't know the man for whom there is so much. Forever averse to propaganda, this humble young man of 32 years made such a great contribution to the Bengali language, but remained outside the light of propaganda
Friends call Mehdi crazy, someone wastes time to study medicine! Again, for the convenience of writing in Bengali!
