Students are participating in this programme enthusiastically preparing to get selected.”
At the event at IUT, Vice-Chancellor Prof. Dr. Mohammad Rafiqul Islam, said, “Huawei’s ‘Seeds For The Future’ has been a fantastic and impactful programme. IUT took part in this programme for the third time last year, and I saw my students enthusiastically involved with this competition that focused on developing young talent by enriching their knowledge, innovative minds, and leadership skills. I advise my students take part in this programme this year and ahead.”
