RAJSHAHI, April 28, 2026 (BSS) - Rajshahi University Central Students' Union (RUCSU) distributed first aid boxes to 12 residential halls and several key locations on the campus, alongside arranging a first aid training session for students.

The programme was held on Monday at the RUCSU building conference room.

The initiative led by RUCSU Women's Affairs Secretary Saiyida Hafsa covered 12 halls for both male and female students, the international dormitory, the gymnasium and the university stadium.

As part of the event, a first aid training session was conducted by the Chief Medical Officer of the Rajshahi University Medical Centre.

Speaking on the occasion, Saiyida Hafsa said the initiative aimed to ensure basic emergency support for students.

"Although the first aid boxes provided today are not meant for major medical treatment, this small effort is intended to ensure primary care if a student suddenly falls ill," she said.

RU Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Administration) Professor Dr Mohammad Main Uddin said the initiative would help ensure emergency medical support for students in the halls.

"The first aid boxes have been provided to each hall for medical assistance in emergencies. Conducting such welfare activities for students is a normal responsibility of the students' union. Today's initiative is undoubtedly commendable," he said.

The training workshop was moderated by RUCSU Executive Member A B M Khaled.

RUCSU Assistant General Secretary S M Salman Sabbir, Assistant Women's Affairs Secretary Samia Jahan, and more than 50 hall union leaders were also present at the programme.
