All the activities of Zinda Park help to create unity among its villagers and villagers of surrounding villages.

History of Zinda park Dhaka:

Mr. Tobarok Hossain Kustom, the founder, is a visionary. He has contributed and dedicated his whole life to the park. Mr. Kusom only studied up to secondary school at a local missionary school. Even though he is a high school dropout, the schooling he received and the environment of his upbringing major impact in his life. The discipline that he received and the environment of his upbringing inspired and enabled him to dream and give something back to society. He envisioned turning his village around into an ideal one that would provide numerous facilities to its inhabitants.

Mr. Kusom shared his ideas with four of his school friends, Mohammad Nasir Uddin Kazi, Mohammad Shahadat Hossain Akand, Mahbubul  Alam  Kazi and Mohammad Tabarak Hossain Akand. These five teenage minds in Bangladesh look beyond the mundane and seclusion by starting to work together towards their shared goal. The founders shared their idea by writing letters to the local head, asking them to join, who did not give any curating response. Even Mr. Kusom’s father who was a government employee did not admire his son’s idea at the time, however later he realized the nobility of the work and supported him. Thus defying all odds the founders today have committed themselves to a lifelong service above and beyond for the battlement of the community that they were born into. Though the park was started by five founders, today more community people are involved with the park, who have also devoted their life to its development.
