SAVAR, Dec 6(BSS): A daylong Butterfly Fair 2024 was held on Jahangirnagar University (JU) campus amid festivity on Friday.
JU Vice-Chancellor Prof Mohammad Kamrul Ahsan inaugurated the fair as the chief guest by releasing colorful balloons at 11:00 am at the Zahir Raihan Auditorium premises of the university.
Addressing the event, JU VC said, Butterfly Fair at JU is a worthy event for two reasons. First, it formally establishes ethical consideration towards animals. Second, this unique initiative has brought recognition to JU.
The fair also teaches us how a single butterfly can contribute to the protection of humanity, he said.
