Tariqul Islam Tarik, a joint general secretary of Bangladesh Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal, provided full financial support for a Dhaka University student’s master’s examination form fill-up using income earned through bike ride-sharing. The assistance was given on Sunday afternoon to a master’s student in the university’s Department of Islamic History and Culture.

The student, from the 2020–21 academic session and a resident of Muktijoddha Ziaur Rahman Hall, had been facing severe financial hardship. After losing his father several years ago, he took on family responsibilities, while a lack of tutoring work limited his income opportunities. As a result, arranging the required form-fill-up fee had become nearly impossible.

Tarik, a former general secretary of Salimullah Muslim Hall Chhatra Dal, said he did not want a student’s dream to stop because of financial constraints. He said he had also experienced hardship and tries to support students within his means. People connected to the matter said he treated the student’s difficulty as a personal responsibility after learning about it.
