Professor Awal said that there was a university at Paharpur in Naogaon in the 8th century. “But it is unfortunate that Naogaon University is yet to begin its academic activities despite passage of the university bill in 2023,” he added. 

He urged authorities concerned to take steps to start academy activities of Naogaon University immediately. 

Vice Chancellor of Naogaon University Professor Dr Moh Hasanat Ali said, “Today we are celebrating the 2nd founding anniversary but there are no teachers and students of the university at the event which is very sad.”

He expressed his hope to celebrate the next founding anniversary on the university’s own campus.
