'Under the kind guidance of former student of DU and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, initiatives have been taken for the overall development and expansion of TSC of Dhaka University.

On September 21,2019 Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said four large structures – the National Museum, the Public Library, the Teacher-Student Centre (TSC) of Dhaka University and the DMCH – will be reconstructed.

Sheikh Hasina said there were only 4,000-5,000 students when the TSC was constructed in the 1960s. But the number of DU students and teachers is now over 40,000. Besides, TSC auditorium and cafeteria are decades old.

An international standard auditorium will also be constructed at the TSC, she said, adding that a plan to develop the TSC complex has already been prepared.

The Public Works Department (PWD) has already started work to rebuild the TSC.
