New members, advisers and leaders of the organisation attended the programme.
The event began with an introduction session, followed by an elaborate discussion on social responsibility, the positive role of youths and the organisation’s zero-tolerance stance against drugs.
The session was conducted by Abdul Hannan Milton, coordinator of Bashundhara Shuvosangho’s Dhaka Metropolitan unit, and chaired by Dhanmondi unit president Md Darul Naeem Hossain.
