Student body formed to promote �free-speaking�

A student-run organisation named ‘Podium’ has been established at Dhaka University to create a ‘free- speaking’ platform for the students where they can
share innovative ideas and thoughts and disseminate them to the greater mass to carry out social change,
reports UNB. The vision of Podium is to break all the institutional borders and create a common speaking ground where every single student will be given chance to raise their voice.
The organisation has set its mission to provide students an independent platform to share their ideas and thoughts to enable them to think outside of their career pathway and give effort to more social development through their innovative ideas.
Podium films the best speeches on innovative ideas of the students and uploads the videos to its own YouTube channel ‘The Podium’ so that the world could see what they are doing, thinking and dreaming to bring changes to the society.
The organisation is also conducting its activities through a Facebook page where they encourage other students apart from Dhaka University to join the platform and connect them on the social movement.
The founding president of the platform Raihan Khandker told UNB, “If anybody outside of our country searches the name Bangladesh, they only come to know the facts related to political turmoil, women harassment, child killing and natural calamities like flood, cyclone etc.
We want to show the world that Bangladesh is not a country of negativity but it has developed so far and the youth of the country got the potential to change the society further through innovative ideas,” he added.
He expressed that the Podium is working as a medium to encourage and unite the students throughout the country to formulate a movement to eradicate social oddities by sharing ideas with each other.
