The C (JnU) unit of Bangladesh Islami Chhatra Shibir has installed a washing machine and hot-and-cold water filter at the Nawab Faizunnesa Chowdhurani student hall, as part of its ongoing ‘Safe Water Drinking Project’.
The equipment was installed on Thursday afternoon to address the needs of residential students, particularly regarding access to clean water and laundry facilities.
Farzana Haque Lubna, a resident of the hall and a student of the Sociology Department, said there was a shortage of safe drinking water filters in our hall.
“We also faced difficulties with washing clothes. This initiative by Chhatra Shibir will help ease our troubles,” she added.
Tisha Parveen, a student from the Anthropology Department, added, “Chhatra Shibir is taking student-friendly steps, which is commendable. There are several ongoing issues in the hall, and such initiatives help address them.”
Md. Riazul Islam, president of the JnU unit of Chhatra Shibir, said, “We installed a modern washing machine and a hot-and-cold water filter based on the needs of the female students in the hall. We want to stand by students and address their concerns.”
Chhatra Shibir Secretary Abdul Alim Arif said that the installation is part of the organization’s wider ‘Safe Water Drinking Project’ aimed at improving student facilities.
Professor Dr. Anjuman Ara, provost of Nawab Faizunnesa Chowdhurani Hall, expressed her appreciation, saying, “Our hall needed these facilities. I thank Chhatra Shibir for this initiative.”
