Ahead of International Mother Language Day, a survey in Raipur upazila of Lakshmipur has revealed that 239 out of 271 educational institutions do not have Shaheed Minars. These include government and private primary, secondary, and college-level institutions. As a result, students are unable to pay proper tribute to the language martyrs, with only 32 institutions currently having memorials.

According to the upazila primary and secondary education offices, only five of 121 government primary schools have Shaheed Minars, while none of the 64 private kindergartens do. Among 55 secondary schools, 23 have memorials, and none of the 21 Dakhil madrasas have built one. At the college level, Raipur Government College has a Shaheed Minar, but Rustam Ali Degree College does not. Several Kamil and Fazil madrasas also lack such structures.

Local education officials cited lack of land, funds, and government allocation as major obstacles. The upazila administration has pledged to take steps to ensure that all institutions gradually build Shaheed Minars to honor the language martyrs.
