for BOU and its implementation process in the programme and presided over the 
workshop. 

Speaking on the occasion, the BOU VC said a master plan for the next 50 years 
should be formulated for the BOU to fulfill Father of the Nation Bangabandhu

said BOU has divided its plans into two academic and infrastructural plans to 
take the university ahead.

Azad Kamal and Registrar Dr M Shafiqul Alam delivered the welcome addresses
