CA calls for student-teacher role in advancing science
NN Online:
Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus on Thursday asked students and teachers to come forward in contributing to the advancement of science and knowledge.
“Students and teachers should come forward in contributing to science and knowledge,” he said while speaking at the inaugural ceremony of the “Centennial Celebration of the Bose-Einstein Statistics: A legacy of Dhaka” at an auditorium, reports BSS.
The Physics Department of Dhaka University (DU) and Bose Center for Advanced Study and Research in Natural Sciences, DU, are jointly organising the two-day celebration.
Education Adviser Professor Wahiduddin Mahmud, Dhaka University Vice-Chancellor (VC) Professor Niaz Ahmed Khan, and former professor at SNBNCBS, Kolkata Partha Ghose, also spoke at the event.
Prof Yunus said the very tiny calm Dhaka city and green Ramna might not be brought back but the glory of Dhaka University could, of course, come back in the new independent Bangladesh.
“On the centenary of the Bose-Einstein Theory, we can say this with emphasis,” he said.
“Today, the student-teacher community has got back their freedom of thought and the practice of free thinking through revolution,” he added.
The chief adviser also stressed capacity building for contributing to world-science. “And this is achieved through everyday’s reading, research maintaining high expectations,” he opined.
“The environment of Bose’s invention in 1924 was created in such a way,” Prof Yunus said, adding, “This environment will also be established in the same way today. There is no alternative to this.”
