Speaking as the chief guest at the seminar, JNU Pro-Vice Chancellor Professor Sheikh Mahmudul Hasan said, “In the current competitive world, the more information one has, the better one can prepare himself. Interest in information and self-motivation can bring success in higher education.” He also said, “After acquiring higher education and research-based knowledge from abroad, we have to return to our beloved motherland. Because we are studying in the name of the common people of the country. It is only by utilizing the acquired knowledge for the development of the country that it is possible to fulfill our proper responsibility towards the country.”
Speaking as a special guest to the students, JBPR Treasurer Professor Dr. Mohammad Faruk Hasan said, “In the journey of life, teachers and students alike, everyone has their own struggles and limitations. As humans, we have the ability to adapt to any adverse situation. Behind the stories of the winners, the difficult struggles of the defeated, the experience of being defeated and the weaknesses that are transformed into strengths, are the only way to achieve ultimate success.”
