In this regard, University Vice-Chancellor Professor Dr. Sadeka Halim said, We have decided to celebrate the Bangla Nababarsha 1431 on April 18. We don't have a residence hall for our male students. Many still could not return to Dhaka. This decision is taken so that everyone can participate in the festival spontaneously.
It is to be noted that on the occasion of celebrating Nababarsha of this year, the students of the fine arts faculty of the university painted rickshaws on the walls of the university campus. Various types of images, including flowers, fish, boats, tigers, and peacocks, have emerged in this wall painting based on the rickshaw painting, which was recognized as an immeasurable cultural heritage by UNESCO.
