Details about my leadership and extra-curricular activities
General Secretary, BUET Debating Club(BUETDC)
Timeline: November, 2020- May, 2022
Before being elected as the General Secretary, I also served as "Publication Secretary", "Joint Secretary" respectively at the same club.
During my tenure at BUET Debating Club, I had undertaken some of the projects that showcase my leadership qualities.
Some of them are as follows:
During my time at BUET Debating Club, I always fostered a culture of critical thinking, study circle and discursive sessions. Not only that, I also tried to collaborate with other clubs from the campus. For instance, for this program, I took the initiave of involving our university film club BUET Film Society in this project. This project was a panel discussion consisting four of the most prominent and educational content creators and YouTubers in our country. We, in details, discussed the idea of digital media and how it is shaping our notion of media, as we know it. I, along with the then president of the club moderated the session. I lead organizing the session and was the main liaison person with another collaborator on behalf of my club. The video-footage of the program can be found here. Click here
One of the notable works I did while I was general secretary of BUET Debating Club, is leading a study-circle, called, "BUETDC Dialectics". The session used to be held periodically and it covered almost all the concurrent issues at hand. It did not limit itself to political or economical issues only, but also to sports, films, pop-culture as well. An important part of this project was documentation and I also managed the documentation team.

I have contributed to all the publications of BUET Debating Club. I actively took part in proofreading, supervising, and interviewing the expert professionals, from engineers to economists on various issues. The picture attached is taken after interviewing Professor Dr. Ainun Nishat, who is the most prolific person in the field of Water Resource Engineering. He is also one of the chief advisors of Padma Bridge- which is the largest infrustructural project of Bangladesh.
One of the key-aspects of my leadership activism is making education more accessible and as open-source as possible. That is why I make free educational content online so that economic or social background cannot set a barrier for those who want to seek them.
