Dhaka: Education Adviser Prof Dr CR Abrar today urged students to develop themselves as self-respecting citizens by rising above all sorts of greediness. He made this call at the closing and award-giving ceremony of the 4th National Eco Carnival 2025 organized by St. Gregory High School and College.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, Abrar highlighted the challenges faced by the world today, stating, “We are living in a time when the world is plagued by various problems.Starting from information technology, we have made great progress in every aspect of life in a very short time.” He expressed concern over the current state of consumerism, which he believes has disrupted the natural balance and is steering the world towards a major disaster, potentially impacting future generations.
Abrar emphasized the role of schools as not only centers of knowledge but also as institutions that instill ethics and morality. He urged students to be aware of ethics, honesty, compassion, humanity, and tolerance alongside their academic pursuits.
The theme of this year’s carnival was ‘All Eyes on Earth,’ marking the conclusion of a two-day event organized by the Gregorian Ecology Club. Students from various educational institutions across the country participated in numerous competitions, with prizes distributed among the winners.
