Dhaka University’s Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Hall has inaugurated a 'July Center' today at its July Shahid Smriti Bhaban as part of embracing and celebrating the spirit of the July mass uprising.

This is the first hall-based 'July Center' at Dhaka University.

On the occasion of this event, the Pro-Vice Chancellor (Academic) of Dhaka University, Professor Dr. Mamun Ahmed, was present as the chief guest.

The event was presided over by Professor Dr. Md. Akhteruzzaman, the Provost of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Hall, while conducted by Associate Professor Dr. Md. Khorshed Alam of the Department of Mass Communication and Journalism.

In his speech Dr. Mamun Ahmed said that the July Revolution of 2024 was not merely a protest by students, but rather a reawakening of the nation’s conscience. Dhaka University was the inspiration, epicenter, and leading force of that awakening. Our classrooms became stages for strategic planning, and the campus turned into a fortress of struggle for justice and democracy.

He further said that the spirit of building an inclusive, discrimination-free society—left by ‘July’—cannot be confined only to memory. The continuous resonance of that spirit is possible through this ‘July Center’. It will be an important hub for research, education, and inspiration for the new generation.

The event was also attended by residential teachers of the hall, students, officers, and staff.
