Experts urge responsible use of internet in Gopalganj science university

Bashundhara Shuvosangho organised a discussion meeting on cybercrime awareness at the Science and Technology University (GSTU) on Tuesday. Around 50 students from various departments of the university participated in the event.

At the beginning of the program, Bashundhara Shuvosangho GSTU branch General Secretary Rezwanul Islam welcomed the guests and students.

Lecturer Md Ali Biswas of the Department of Information and Communication Technology at AKM Sarwar Jan Biswas College in Gopalganj Sadar Upazila attended the discussion as the keynote speaker.

He said, “The internet has certainly made our lives easier and better, but to a large extent, it is also causing us to move away from various social values. The use of the internet has made government activities easier, while also creating opportunities for corruption in various sectors. Cybercrime is increasing worldwide. We need to overcome these challenges and learn how to use the internet properly.”

He stressed the importance of students being cautious when using social media, avoiding clicking on unfamiliar links, protecting personal information and passwords, and not sharing any information without verifying it.

Bashundhara Shuvosangho Gopalganj district branch President Sujon Das said, “To eliminate cybercrime, we need to understand cyber awareness and increase such initiatives. Students need to be encouraged to use the internet properly. Everything has both positive and negative aspects. We need to make use of the positive aspects. Only then can we build a better society and country.”

Bashundhara Shuvosangho GSTU branch President Mujahidul Islam Sabbir said, “Provocative information is often spread through social media, creating disorder in society. Cyber awareness must be increased to prevent such activities. Alongside encouraging students to use technology positively, responsible behavior online must also be ensured.”
