Bangabandhu Corner to be established at a Punjab univ

A Bangabandhu Corner will be established at Lovely Professional University in Punjab, one of the largest private universities in India.

The Bangabandhu Corner will gradually be converted into a centre as agreed by the university authorities.

The decision was taken in a meeting between Muhammad Imran, Bangladesh High Commissioner to India and Ashok Mittal, Chancellor of the University, said the Bangladesh High Commission on Tuesday.

The initiatives have been taken to mark the celebration of the birth centenary of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.

Lovely Professional University has around 35 thousand students including more than three thousand foreign students from over 50 countries in its 600 - acre campus.

The University is playing a pioneer role in sports and athletics. Eleven students of the university are participating in the Tokyo Olympic.

Around seven hundred fifty Bangladeshi students are studying at the university, the highest number in a single campus outside Bangladesh.

High Commissioner Imran interacted with the Bangladeshi students during his recent visit to the university.
