Shuvosangho plants trees, distributes saplings at Ananda Mohan College

Bashundhara Tissue and Shuvosangho jointly organised a tree plantation and sapling distribution programme at Ananda Mohan College in Mymensingh on Thursday to promote environmental conservation and encourage the development of a greener Bangladesh.

Teachers, students and members of Shuvosangho enthusiastically took part in the programme, during which fruit-bearing and timber tree saplings were planted on the college campus and distributed among students.

Among the guests were Professor Mustafizur Rahman, head of the Department of Philosophy, Assoc Prof Khorshed Alam, adviser ZHM Jewel, Assoc Prof Nowrin Samantha Soumi and Asst Prof Suman Kundu.

Speaking on the occasion, Prof Mustafizur Rahman said there was no alternative to tree plantation in tackling the growing impacts of climate change.

"Such initiatives not only promote environmental awareness but also help develop students into responsible citizens," he said.

Adviser ZHM Jewel stressed the need to transform environmental protection into a social movement rather than limiting it to occasional programmes.

Assoc Prof Nowrin Samantha Soumi said a single sapling planted today would provide clean oxygen, shade and support biodiversity in the future, urging people to take equal responsibility for nurturing trees after planting them.

Student advisers Nusrat Jahan Any and Nizam Uddin Sourav also attended the programme.

Among the Shuvosangho members present were Ananda Mohan College unit President Syed Nafiul Hasan Mubin, Vice-Presidents Abdul Kadir Shaishab and Joy Saha Roy, General Secretary Puja Chakraborty Labannya, Joint General Secretaries Rajkumar Swachha Dey and Mohammad Siam, Organising Secretary Animur Rahman Riyad, Publicity Secretary Anitur Rahman Sadi, Relief and Disaster Affairs Secretary Rezuan Nasif, Religious Affairs Secretary Md Shah Alam Jibon, Executive Member Md Fuad Hasan and other members.
