বসন্ত বীথি ২০২৬

শীতের বিদায় আর ফাগুনের আগমনী বার্তা নিয়ে আবারও আসছে রঙিন এক সকাল। ফুলের ঘ্রাণে, কোকিলের ডাকে আর হলুদের ছোঁয়ায় সাজবে আমাদের প্রাঙ্গণ। এই আনন্দময় মুহূর্তগুলোকে একসাথে ভাগ করে নিতে আমরা আয়োজন করেছি “বসন্ত বীথি ২০২৬”।

তারিখ: ১৭ ফেব্রুয়ারি ২০২৬
সময়: সকাল ৯:৩০ – দুপুর ২:৩০
উন্নয়ন অধ্যয়ন, রুম ২০১, একাডেমিক ভবন

গান, নৃত্য, কবিতা, আনন্দ আর বন্ধুত্বের উষ্ণতায় ভরে উঠবে পুরোটা সময়। থাকবে সাংস্কৃতিক পরিবেশনা, প্রাণখোলা আড্ডা আর বসন্তের রঙে রাঙানো অসংখ্য স্মৃতি তৈরির সুযোগ।

চলুন, একসাথে স্বাগত জানাই ঋতুর রানী বসন্তকে।
আপনার উপস্থিতিই আমাদের আয়োজনের সবচেয়ে বড় প্রাপ্তি।
