Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL), a student body of Awami League (AL), celebrates its 71st founding anniversary today.
On the occasion, the BCL will hold a four-day elaborate programme, including rally and blood donation campaign.
The programme was inaugurated by cutting a cake on the premises of Curzon Hall on Dhaka University (DU) campus at 8:00 am.
Before that, leaders and activists of BCL placed wreaths at the portrait of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman at Bangabandhu Bhaban at 7:00 am.
They will distribute education-related materials and winter clothes among underprivileged children and impoverished people on January 5, 7 and 8.
The BCL was formed in 1948 by the then student leader, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
Since the inception of the organisation, it contributed a great deal to the 1952 language movement, 1969 mass uprising, 1971 liberation war and 1990 anti-autocracy movement of the country.
