Fruit feast held at Nilphamari Government College

Bashundhara Shuvosangho organised a feast of a variety of fruits at Nilphamari Government College on Sunday to encourage students to consume indigenous fruits, and promote healthy eating habits.

With the enthusiastic participation of students, teachers, and Shuvosangho members, the college campus turned into a lively gathering.

College Principal Professor AKM Siddiqur Rahman was the chief guest, while Vice Principal Professor Mohammad Golam Mostafa Chowdhury was the special guest.

Invited guests included Professor Md Shamsul Alam, Associate Professor Sohana Jaman, and Associate Professor Md Anisur Rahman. Also present were: Md Imran Shah, president of the Bashundhara Shuvosangho Nilphamari Government College unit; Shaila Parveen, chief adviser of the unit; and advisers Utpal Chandra Roy, Md Abu Bakar Siddique, and Romana Akter.

Professor AKM Siddiqur Rahman said, "Bashundhara Shuvosangho's initiative to promote the nutritional value of indigenous fruits and our folk heritage among the younger generation is highly commendable. Nowadays, young people are becoming increasingly attracted to fast food and processed foods. In such a situation, programs like this are timely and essential for encouraging the habit of consuming healthy, chemical-free, locally grown fruits. I hope such initiatives will continue in the future."

Chief Adviser Shaila Parveen said, "Since its inception, Bashundhara Shuvosangho has been working tirelessly to involve students in humanitarian, social, and creative activities. With the continued support of the college administration and active participation of students, we will organize more innovative and timely programs for the welfare of general students in the future."

She also expressed her sincere gratitude to all the organization members, teachers, students, and everyone involved for making the event a success.

Adviser Md Abu Bakar Siddique discussed the nutritional value, vitamins, minerals, and health benefits of various indigenous fruits in detail.

The feast featured apples, oranges, mangoes, pineapples, dragon fruit, guavas, bananas, dates, grapes, lotkon, and wax apples, among other fruit varieties.
