3 visually-challenged DU students get scholarships
DHAKA, Nov 28, 2018 (BSS) – Three visually-impaired students of Dhaka
University (DU) have received “LG Life’s Good Trust Fund Scholarship for
Physically Challenged Students”.
DU Vice-Chancellor Prof Dr Md Akhtaruzzaman along with LG Electronics
Bangladesh Managing Director DK Son handed over the scholarship cheques to
three students at a function at VC’s lounge of the university today, a DU
press release said.
The recipients are Shahanaj Aktar (First year, History Dept), Enmanuel
Titu Mondol (Forth year, Sociology Dept) and Taslima Sultana Mitu (B.Ed,
IER).
Chairman of History Department Prof Dr Ahmed Abdullah Jamal, Acting
Director of the Institute of Education and Research (IER) Prof Dr Abdul Malek
and Head of Consumer Electronics of LG Electronics Bangladesh Mahmudul Hasan
were present on the occasion with DU Treasurer Prof Kamal Uddin in the chair.
Speaking at the function, Prof Dr Md Akhtaruzzaman said: “Differently
able students need different type of supports to realise their dream. This LG
trust fund for physically disabled students will undoubtedly support and
inspire them to go ahead in life”.
D K Son, Managing Director of LG Electronics Bangladesh, said fighting
many obstacles, the differently able students came to the stage of higher
education and have proven themselves.
South Korea-based LG Electronics handed over a cheque for Tk 10 lakh to set
up this trust fund last year.
Out of the income of this donation, every year three physically-
challenged, underprivileged and meritorious students of the Arts Faculty of
the university are awarded with Tk 12,000 each as “LG Life’s Good Trust Fund
Scholarship”.
