The 16th season of Sisimpur, the beloved show by kids, is about to premiere. Julia, Halum, Tuktuki, Ikri, Shiku, and others will make new appearances in this new season. Amira, another new friend, will also be joining them this season, aside from this. Amira is a unique addition to the Sisimpur cast. She is a naturally born leader and a self-assured young man. He uses a wheelchair occasionally and crutches the majority of the time.

The new season will feature some fantastic new animated content on mathematics, science, and healthy habits. Additionally, there will be live-action film segments featuring children and their caregivers, as well as segments with Ikri for learning the alphabet, and segments with Tuktuki for learning numbers.

The slogan of the new season, created with the financial support of USAID/Bangladesh, is: 'After fifteen comes sixteen, we will all stand by each other'. New Season 16 episodes will be seen on RTV, Duronto TV, and Maasranga Television.

The 16th season of Sisimpur has been framed with a focus on inclusiveness and self-care. In addition, through fun stories, topics such as pre-math, pre-reading, autism, the importance of nutritious food, analytical thinking, overcoming gender stereotypes, and respecting diversity will be highlighted. There will be great animations on math, health care, and science. And live-action films about children. Apart from this, in each episode of 'Knowing Letters with Ikri' and 'Knowing Numbers with Tuktuki', Ikri will recognize one letter and one number with Tuktuki.

The episodes of the 16th season are narrative, 'Tuktukir Baniye Kheli' and 'Halumer Tumio Paro' which contains three formats. Amira has participated in this episode in addition to Sisimpur's friends Halum, Tuktuki, Ikri, Shiku, and her new friend Julia. Apart from this, there are also disabled, marginalized, and tribal children. And the other regular characters of Sisimpur are still there. A notable feature of this season is the use of sign language in some episodes for speech- and hearing-impaired children.

The Director of USAID Mission Reed Aeschliman and The Department of Primary Education's Additional Director General Uttam Kumar Das formally opened Sisimpur's 16th season on February 20.
