In this, the outgoing and fresh students enlivened the program by reciting poetry, singing, dancing and performing drama.

In the speech of the chief guest, Professor Dr. Begum Roksana Mili said to the teachers that the first job of a student-friendly teacher is to go to class. The only way to connect students to academic work is through academic classes. One of the reasons why students are getting involved in unwanted activities or movements today is that teachers are not able to keep them in regular classes.

He told the students, "For success, you have to work hard with honesty. You have to work with confidence. Besides, if you want to do something, you have to make a commitment that you have to do it. And you have to always trust in Allah in these things."
