Chancellor becomes advisor to ASEZ
SHILLONG: The University of Science & Technology Meghalaya (USTM), on Tuesday, signed an agreement with ASEZ — a university student volunteer group which is carrying volunteer services in 175 countries around the world under the slogan ‘Save the Earth from A to Z’.
Mahbubul Hoque, chancellor of USTM, agreed to become an advisor for university students of ASEZ and give them his counsel about the ways to carry out and develop their activities while encouraging them to move on to change the world for a better future.
Extending support to ‘Reduce Crime Together’ — global crime-prevention movement for human happiness — ASEZ aims to establish communities safe from crimes that deprive people of their lives and degrade the quality of life.
The group raises awareness on crime prevention and carries out related movements for youths, college students, workers and all citizens through campaigns, forums, seminars, green campus clean-ups, emergency relief and ‘Reduce Crime Together’ campaign.
For smooth and practical volunteer services, ASEZ has signed a number of MoUs with agencies including the Nepalese Ministry of Education, State Council of Amazonas in Brazil, City of Cape Town Metropolitan Municipality, United Nations Association of Utah in USA, etc.
On January 19, 2018, ASEZ volunteers from South Korea held a seminar at the university on the importance of protecting the environment and how to achieve the sustainable development goals of the United Nations.
Along with USTM student members, ASEZ also conducted a cleanliness programme at the university campus.
