The Dhaka University Teachers' Association (DUTA) has decided to donate one day's salary to support the flood victims in the southeastern part of the country. This decision was made in response to the severe flood situation that has caused significant damage and hardship in the affected areas.
In a statement issued on Saturday, August 24, the General Secretary of DUTA announced that the teachers have come together to help the people who are suffering due to the floods. The statement emphasized the importance of standing by those in need during such challenging times.
The circular mentioned that all teachers of Dhaka University would contribute one day's salary to assist the flood-affected people. However, if any teacher does not wish to participate in this initiative, they are requested to inform the account director of the association between August 24 and 26.
The DUTA believes that this collective effort will provide some relief to the flood victims and demonstrate the university community's commitment to social responsibility. The association also called on other organizations and individuals to come forward and contribute to the relief efforts.
The flood situation in the southeastern region has worsened over the past few days, with many areas submerged, causing displacement and suffering for thousands of people. The government and various organizations have been working to provide relief, but the situation remains critical.
DUTA's decision to donate their salaries is a significant gesture of solidarity, showing that the university's teachers are not just educators but also active participants in addressing national crises. The association hopes that their contribution will inspire others to extend their support to those in need during this difficult time.
