The closing and prize giving ceremony of 2nd Debate Mash Up organized by Hamdard University Bangladesh Debating Society (HUBDS) was held on Monday, in Hamdard University Bangladesh campus premises. On the occasion, Professor Dr. Tanvir Ahmed Khan, Vice Chancellor (In charge), was present as Chief Guest. All the Deans of different faculties, the Treasurer, the Registrar, and the Controller of Examinations were present also. The event was chaired by Farooq Hossan, President, Hamdard Biswabidyalay Bangladesh Sonskriti-Chorcha Kendro (HBBSCK). Nujhat Nuari Islam and Mahmuda Akter coordinated the event. The Vice Chancellor said that debate is one of the best extra-curricular where the students can gain knowledge regarding education, politics, culture, philosophy, and many other things. It also develops students’ communication skills. A student may have the highest CGPA but without communication skill, he or she may not be able to pursue his/her desired profession.
