SUMMARY:Supporting Alumni Rafiq (05) in His Time of Need\, 31st August\, 2022
DESCRIPTION:We are deeply saddened to share that our alumnus Rafiq (ES 05) is critically ill and undergoing treatment at Evercare Hospital due to complications from gall bladder surgery. While his physical health is improving\, his mental state is fragile\, and his family is struggling to cover the medical expenses. \nThe ESDAA Alumni community has provided support\, but it is not enough to meet urgent needs. Rafiq’s family is already burdened with debt and unsure if they can afford the treatment. \nWe urge all alumni to come together and contribute to Rafiq’s medical fund. Your support\, no matter how small\, can make a significant difference and provide hope to Rafiq and his family. \nLet us unite in solidarity and compassion to ensure Rafiq receives the treatment he needs. Together\, we can make a difference and save a life.

SUMMARY:Testimonials of ESDAA President - 17th April\, 2022
DESCRIPTION:Dear Brothers\, Sisters\, Friends – Graduates\, \nAs Salamu Alaikum and Namaskar! Happy Bengali New Year to all. \nCongratulations to all the proud graduates from Environmental Science Discipline (ESD) of Khulna University. Heartfelt congratulations and gratitude from the elected committee of the Alumni Association to all registered and unregistered members of the Alumni Association of ESD. \nOur ESD Alumni Association was formed on 9th April 2022 through a fair\, beautiful\, transparent\, participatory and technologically simple and successful election process. Although this path is not easy\, it has been formed through the sincere efforts and active participation of all. \nI extend my heartiest congratulations to all the elected representatives. There will be ups and downs in elections\, but the main thing is to participate in the elections and ensure a transparent process. So those who participated in this process but could not be selected this time\, their contribution is no less. I express my sincere congratulations\, sincere love and gratitude to them. I believe that since there is an effort for everyone to want to work\, they will also be successful\, opportunities will be created to work. \nOn behalf of the selected committee\, we would like to say that our only vow will be to work together and move forward for the welfare of the alumni. To this end\, we will endeavor to involve all\, take their valuable views seriously into action planning and continue to make all-out efforts in its implementation. It’s time-consuming to say how much we can do\, but I want to say that we will not be shortchanged in our sincere efforts – we believe that we will continue to be accountable to everyone and move forward. As a first step towards accountability\, the Super Seventy Select Committee will initially announce the Action Plan for the next one year and thereafter the Action Plan for the full term with the intention of getting valuable input from all. Everyone’s cooperation will be greatly appreciated. \nWe are all aware that many graduates are not able to register due to various reasons. The selected committee will immediately take necessary steps to get all of them registered. With all we seek to work for the good of all – there is no substitute for the wholehearted cooperation of all. \nHeartfelt congratulations\, thanks and gratitude to the Election Commission- for gifting our long awaited Alumni Association Executive Committee by organizing and conducting beautiful\, transparent and successful elections with efficient\, strong and effective leadership. \nOn behalf of all the graduates and the selected committee\, I express my sincere gratitude to all the teachers of the discipline for their sincere cooperation. Sincere gratitude. I am also thankful to the university administration for the overall cooperation. \nFinally\, our partners of utmost importance\, our sincere congratulations\, thanks and gratitude to all our registered graduates. Today’s Alumni Association is the result of everyone’s overall cooperation. I believe that this cooperation will continue. Wishing everyone a healthy\, beautiful and peaceful life. \nI conclude here with a vow to work for the welfare of all and a promise on behalf of the elected committee. \nM. Anwar Hossain \nThe president \nEnvironmental Science Discipline Alumni Association\, \nKhulna University.
