Saber stressed the importance of organising sports and cultural competitions for the mental and physical development of students.

The minister urged teachers to guide students properly and keep themselves away from irregularities.

He assured that all necessary initiatives would be taken for the development of education, including opening new departments, constructing new buildings, and providing facilities to underprivileged students.

The event was presided over by Prof Md Imam Zafar, principal of the institution, with special guest Md Abdur Rauf, president of the governing body. Local Awami League leaders, teachers, parents, and students were also in attendance.

During the event, the Environment Minister planted saplings in the educational institution, distributed prizes among the winners of various competitions, and welcomed the new students.
