Khulna University will hold its fourth convocation today.
President Md. Zillur Rahman, chancellor of the university, will attend the convocation as chief guest and distribute certificates among the graduates and post-graduates.
National professor Kabir Chowdhury will grace the occasion as convocation speaker.
At least 20 students will be awarded gold medals for their extra-ordinary results, KU sources said.
Earlier, 2526 students, who graduated between 2006 and 2010 got their names registered for the convocation.
Adviser to prime minister for education, social development and political affairs professor Dr. Alauddin Ahmed, state minister for labour and employment Begum Mannujan Sufian, KCC mayor Talukder Abdul Khaleque, KU vice-chancellor Prof. Dr. Md. Saifuddin Shah, pro-vice chancellor Prof Dr. Mohammod Fayekuzzaman will, among others, address the convocation.
The first convocation of the university was held on April 10 in 1997 followed by second and third convocations on February 14 in 2001 and March 19 in 2007 respectively.
Meanwhile, the venue of the convocation has been tastefully decorated with all preparations to make the event a grand success.
Vice-chancellor Prof Dr. Md. Saifuddin Shah said at a press briefing yesterday that he would raise the demand for allocation of more Tk 200 crore for implementation of remaining infrastructural development projects of the university.
Khulna University needs 225 acres of land as envisaged in its master plan approved by the government. But the university has been given only 106 acres which is not adequate for its expansion, he said.
Prof Saifuddin Shah, sixth vice-chancellor of the 19-year-old university vowed that relentless endeavours would continue to brighten further the future of the academic institution.
Khulna University promises to offer quality education and maintain the highest academic setup in line with international standard, he said.
