Jafar Sadiq, President of the Bondhushava National Committee, emphasized the power of volunteerism and networking Bondhushava members prioritize others over themselves. In today’s world, networking is crucial for students, and Bondhushava is building such a network across the country to help nurture skilled, aware, and civic-minded future leaders.

Among the speakers were Abdur Rahman, Lecturer, Department of Journalism and Media Studies at Sonargaon University; Dr. Redwan Mahmud, Joint General Secretary of the National Committee; Ashfaquzzaman, Advisor of Dhaka Metropolitan Bondhushava; and Hasan Mahmud Samrat, General Secretary of the Dhaka City Unit.

We are working to include students from all departments to form a full-fledged committee. Our aim is to empower students beyond textbooks to become humane, aware, and courageous leaders. Bondhushava is that ideal platform where youth can rediscover their purpose.
