The grand celebration marking the centenary of the University of Dhaka and the golden jubilee of Bangladesh's independence began today.

President Md Abdul Hamid, also the chancellor of the university,  virtually inaugurated the 16-day long festival at the central playground of Dhaka University.

The celebration has been delayed by five months due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
