DHAKA, Nov 29, 2025 (BSS) - A workshop on artificial intelligence (AI) was held today in the city, focusing on empowering youth with AI skills to prepare them for the future.  First Secretary (Political) of the Australian High Commission in Bangladesh, Laura Adams, said that in a rapidly changing world, AI is essential to harness the potential of young people. "The youth of Bangladesh can make themselves skilled through its proper use," Adams said at the opening session of the event, organized by the Institution for Global Cooperation Foundation (IGCF) at the Bishwa Sahitya Kendra in the capital. IGCF Chairman Mahmudur Rahman and Executive Director Shama Obaideh were also present at the inaugural ceremony. Forty students from various public and private universities participated in the workshop, which was organized under IGCF's Youth Skill Development Program.  The foundation began its journey this year with the aim of empowering youth and developing them into world-class citizens through innovative, research-based initiatives. IGCF member Imamul Haque Shamim delivered the welcome address. Trainer Abdullah Al Mamun said the Gen Z youth who led the July Uprising would drive the future AI revolution in Bangladesh. By gaining expertise in artificial intelligence, he added, young people will play a crucial role in shaping the country's future. Abu Saleh Mohammad Yusuf, IGCF member and Research Director at the Bangladesh Institute of International and Strategic Studies, warned that without adequate skills in AI, Bangladesh risks falling behind the rest of the world in the next decade.

Animal Health and Production scientific conference held at RU

  RAJSHAHI, Nov 29, 2025 (BSS)- A daylong scientific conference on 'Innovation,  Application and Future Trends in Animal Health and Production' was held at  Kazi Nazrul Islam auditorium at Rajshahi University (RU) today. The Veterinary and Animal Sciences Faculty of RU hosted the 'Veterinary and  Animal Science Conference -2025' aimed at sharing views about animal health,  productivity, boosting sectoral sustainability and cooperation. Vice-chancellor (VC) Professor Saleh Hassan Naquib and VC of Chattogram  Veterinary and Animal Sciences University Prof Lutfor Rahman addressed the  opening ceremony as the chief and special guests respectively with Dean of  Veterinary and Animal Sciences Faculty Prof Mozaffar Hossain in the chair.   VC of Sylhet Agricultural University Prof Alimul Islam addressed the session  as guest of honour while RU Pro-VCs Prof Mayeen Uddin and Prof Farid Uddin  Khan and Chairman of the Department of Veterinary and Animal Sciences Prof  Moizur Rahman also spoke. In his remarks, Prof Saleh Hassan Naquib said animal health and production  are influenced by factors like disease control, herd health management, and  housing. Animal production is a significant tool for poverty reduction, especially for  rural populations. But, common challenges include diseases, feed shortages,  and climate change, which impact food security.  However, the region also sees economic opportunities through activities like  bull fattening and commercial sheep farming, which are supported by modern  practices and local initiatives. Prof Lutfor Rahman mentioned that guidelines for good practices are crucial,  but their effectiveness depends entirely on proper implementation by  stakeholders. The use of modern technology is helping to improve and expand the animal  husbandry sector. The livestock sector must adapt to the impacts of climate change, such as  flooding, to maintain food and nutrition security. Prof Alimul Islam said the urban and peri-urban dairy system has great  potential for development. Research is also ongoing for other species, such  as indigenous and exotic goats, to improve their performance, he added. Around 250 scientists, researchers and professionals on the relevant subjects  joined the conference, where 150 scientific papers were presented in six  academic sessions.
