Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has asked public university students to uphold the dignity of their institutions, saying that the administration will not tolerate anarchies on campus.
“The students must uphold the dignity of their universities and indiscipline will never be accepted there … all will have to abide by the rules (of the universities),” she said on Saturday.
Her comments came while addressing inaugural ceremony the 7th March Bhaban of Rokeya Hall of Dhaka University constructed in memory of the historic March 7 speech by Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, reports BSS.
The premier said there is an autonomy at the public universities and there are also rules that the universities will be run through their own income.
“But the students of such universities should think that the higher education is provided in Bangladesh at the lowest cost and the government is bearing cent percent expenditure in this regard,” she said.
“I don’t know whether such practice exists in any other country of the world, because we always inquire about the international universities,” she said.
Sheikh Hasina said while pursuing study, the students will have to behave by maintaining rules of their educational institutions. “We and the nation expect such behaviour from the students,” she said
“We want their living standard to be improved on all sides and they take the country forward further,” she added.




Earlier, the prime minister opened the building by unveiling of its plaque. She also visited the museum and signed the visitors’ book.
The building constructed at a cost of Tk 880 million will accommodate 1,000 students, and it has a five-storey administrative block, service block and museum.
In the museum, the 7th March speech, rare photographs of the armed struggle of the Bangalees and information regarding the participation and contributions of the women to the liberation war were placed.
