Brilliantly anchored by a GUB student Ms. Mahshiat Tahsin (Department of CSE), the exciting event started with the presentation of a short documentary on Begum Rokeya. Later on, an impressive live reading session of সুগৃহিনী, well-acclaimed prose of Begum Rokeya, was carried on. Immediately after this, a quiz competition based on the aforementioned prose started. Students attended the program with great enthusiasm. Faculty members from different departments of GUB also graced the event with their inspiring presence.
The informative speeches of the Women Empowerment Forum’s two Advisory Committee members – Ms. Rumana Ferdouse (Assistant Professor, GBS) and Ms. Umme Ruman (Assistant Professor, CSE) stated the significance of Begum Rokeya and Rokeya Day in Bangladeshi women’s ways of life.
