All colleges affiliated with the National University will be brought under a large-scale greening programme to protect the environment and maintain climate balance, the university’s Vice-Chancellor Professor Dr ASM Amanullah has said.
He said this in his speech as the chief guest at a views-exchange meeting organised after his visit to Cox’s Bazar City College this Wednesday morning.
Dr Amanullah said tree plantation and environment-friendly activities will be strengthened at the affiliated colleges in line with the government’s plan to build a liveable environment for the next generation.
At the time, he gave directives to establish a language club at the college for students to acquire multifaceted skills and to plant 12 thousand trees with the participation of students.
Highlighting technology-driven administrative reforms, the vice-chancellor said the National University is moving towards a digital, cashless and paperless system in the shortest possible time. Institutional services for students are being made faster, easier and more transparent through technology-based modern management.
Highlighting the success in reducing session jams, he said, ‘Exam results are now being published within just 27 working days, which is a big achievement in the history of the National University. The sincere efforts of teachers and officials behind this massive task of conducting the huge examination activities of about 65 lakh students and publishing results on schedule deserve praise.’
Saying that higher education would be made job-oriented in keeping with the demands of the time, Dr Amanullah said the curriculum is being refined and revised to make students fit for working life and for facing the challenges of the future. Alongside this, an initiative has been taken to introduce various modern skill-based courses for them.
With Cox’s Bazar City College Principal SM Akhtar Uddin Chowdhury in the chair, the meeting was attended by Mohammad Shafiul Karim, director of the National University’s Office of Physical Education and Culture, and teachers and students of the college.
