DU to launch monthly aid to non-resi female students

Staff Reporter:
Dhaka University (DU) administration will launch a temporary financial assistance programme for female students who cannot stay in university halls due to accommodation crisis.
Starting next month, each eligible student will receive Tk 3,000 per month under this programme.
DU Treasurer Professor Jahangir Alam Chowdhury shared this information during a press confer-ence held at the Professor Abdul Matin Chowdhury Virtual Classroom, near the Vice-Chancellor’s office, on Wednesday.
He said that the university lacks adequate accommodation facilities for female students. Although the university has taken various initiatives to address this issue, the process takes time. In response to student needs, DU will start the financial assistance program as a temporary measure.
“This assistance may not be a large amount, but it will help the students to some extent. All stu-dents who have not been allotted a seat will receive this assistance,” added the treasurer.
The university is also working on constructing new halls, and temporary bunk beds have already been installed.
Professor Jahangir Alam also said that the Chinese Embassy in Bangladesh has confirmed the con-struction of a hall for 2,500 female students.
DU Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Administration) Professor Sayma Haque Bidisha said that building the necessary infrastructure will take some time, but the administration is working diligently to allevi-ate students’ hardships in the meantime. The financial assistance program will provide temporary relief, allowing students to stay elsewhere.
DU Proctor Saifuddin Ahmed, Dr. Abdullah-Al-Mamun, Chairperson of the Provost Standing Committee, and other female hall provosts, were present at the time, among others.
