She made this call while addressing the first convocation ceremony of the University of Scholars as the convocation president at Sena Prangon in Dhaka Cantonment on Saturday.
She emphasized that students' responsibilities go beyond personal goals and include shaping the nation's future.
She also stressed that environmental protection is key to shaping our future and that development must be pursued in a way that does not place excessive pressure on nature.
“Nature can never be conquered; rather, humanity must learn to coexist with it harmoniously. In an evolving world, sustainability must be at the heart of our way of life,” she said.
She further said that true education is realized when it serves the betterment of society and the country.
“Posting on social media alone will not bring about change; real transformation requires action,” she added.
She highlighted that the future of Bangladesh depends on the choices made by today’s youth, urging them to uphold ethics, values, and a strong sense of responsibility as they move forward.
She added: “Our duty is not just to think about ourselves but also to consider the welfare of society and the country. We must simplify service delivery so that ordinary citizens do not face unnecessary hurdles. The time has come for all of us to contribute to national progress. Through collective effort, we can build a prosperous and sustainable Bangladesh.”
She also pointed out that the government alone cannot drive transformation; each individual must actively take part in the process.
“If we become aware of our responsibilities, a greener and more sustainable Bangladesh is indeed achievable,” she concluded.
