Prof. Iajuddin also urged the authorities concerned to create more opportunities for the meritorious but poor students in order to build a caring society. He hoped that the graduating students of the university will be fully equipped to meet the challenges and deal with competitions. He also hoped that the students would demonstrate higher degree of personal honesty and integrity, social responsibility and commitment for development of the country. He reminded the students that it is their utmost responsibility to remember their country and their countrymen wherever they stay.
