Elected student bodies essential for universities, says Noor

Cultural Affairs Minister Asaduzzanman Noor yesterday said elected student unions should exist in the universities to run the cultural and co-curricular activities properly, reports BSS.

“Cultural activities are hardly seen at the universities including the Dhaka University (DU). One of the main reasons is there is no student unions or these are inactive in the educational institutions,” Noor commented while addressing a book launching ceremony at the DU.

Minister Asaduzzanman Noor unveiled the cover of the book titled “Dhaka Bishwabidyaloy Sangskritik O Shikkha Sahayak Karmakanda: Ekal O Shekal” (Cultural and Co-curricular Activities in Dhaka university: Past and Present) edited by Professor Dr Shaikh Abdus Salam. National and Emeritus Prof of DU Dr Anisuzzaman presided over the function organised by Center for Advanced Research in Arts and Social Sciences (CARASS) at its auditorium. Noor said cultural activities were not only entertainment but also a means of political movements at their time.
