The event titled “Boshonto Dine Bhalobashar Gaan” was held at the DRU garden on Saturday.

The program was inaugurated by DRU General Secretary Maynul Hasan Sohel. In his opening remarks, he said, “Today, we have gathered to welcome the king of seasons, Spring. After the dryness and silence of winter, nature has now adorned itself with new colors and new life.” He added that, like every year, DRU organized this event to refresh and uplift the minds of its members.

Spring teaches us courage, honesty, and hope, which inspires us in our professional duties.”
