Memorial programme · Dhaka
We remember July. We lift up those who stood—and those who fell.
One national gathering for Bangladesh's private universities: Shaheed families, injured students, teachers who refused to look away, and student clubs that turned conviction into action.

Take part
Clubs: jump to the lane list—pick the form that matches your work. Teachers and injured students each have a single, direct door.
Ten lanes—from debate and culture to social welfare, pharmacy, and sport—each with its own application. Pick the category that matches what your club actually built on campus. You may enter two.
Pick your categoryIf a faculty member stood with students when it mattered—shielded, guided, or spoke truth—put their name forward. The jury considers nominations backed by evidence and community voice.
Open nomination formStudents harmed during the July 2024 uprising deserve public recognition, not silence. Share your details here; PUNAB verifies privately before the programme.
Open registrationWhy we gather
The July Uprising Memorial Award is PUNAB's answer to a simple question: who carried courage after July—and who keeps carrying it?
In one afternoon we honour families who buried sons and daughters from our campuses; students whose scars still show; teachers who broke silence when silence cost lives; and clubs—from welfare and blood drives to pharmacy chapters and debate societies—that refused to shrink.
Nothing here is ceremonial-for-show. We assemble chapter delegates, faculty allies, and the wider sector so memory turns into standards: how leaders behave when campuses shake again.
Order of the day
Arrival through closing—memorial first, honours in the middle, culture before thank-yous. Clock times span the published 15:00–19:00 window; exact pacing follows stage discipline on the day.

Crests and moments at the mic for students who still carry July on their bodies.
