DHAKA, July 29, 2025 (BSS) - The Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) will offer stipends to 2,000 poor and meritorious students during the 2025-‘26 financial year.

The decision was taken at the 8th meeting of the corporation at the DNCC office in Gulshan with its Administrator Md Azaz in the chair.

The administrator told the meeting that earlier the corporation had offered stipend to 900 students but we have resumed it after a long gap. 

“We will provide stipend up to Taka 2,000 to each of the 2,000 students from class-1 to class-12,” he said adding that they had already restructured the category and amount of stipend.

He, however, said that the corporation also approved a proposal for setting up ‘Street Memory Stamp’ at those spots where the students and people embraced martyrdom during the last year’s July uprising. 

“We will also preserve 13 graves of July martyred after renovating those at Uttara Sector-4 graveyards, Mirpur Shaheed Intellectuals graveyard and Rayer Bazar mass killing ground,” he added.

The corporation also decided to bring reform to the park management and hand over the waste management of Gulshan area to the Gulshan Society for the next six months as a pilot project. If the pilot project is successful, similar system would be followed for the other DNCC areas, he added.

Besides, management of markets under the city corporation, removing illegal occupation from the footpaths and city planning were also discussed prominently in the meeting.

“We have been working for building a fair and democratic Dhaka through the participation of the citizens and their responsibilities,” the administrator said.

The accountability in governing the city and public services would be ensured through the implementations of the decisions taken by the DNCC authority, he added.
