After five long years in such an arrangement, the teachers and students had a discussion and lunch in a charming atmosphere. Students thanked the teachers and teaching staff for sponsoring the event. In the discussion, it was decided that every year the teachers and teaching staff would try to participate in two major events of the organization, Pahela Baishakh and Eid Reunion respectively. Besides, emphasis was placed on taking more initiative to involve the current students in organizing the organization.
The speakers emphasized the necessity of organizing various events of the organization to increase mutual relations between them while being far away from the country and expressed the promise of sincere cooperation from each other’s position in the future. In addition, the organizers put importance on observing language and cultural events with due dignity in order to preserve, nurture, and strengthen the bond between Bengali language and culture among the next generation.
