Bangladesh University of Professionals Development Leader's Club (BUPDLC) is launching its most awaited flagship event DEVTHON's second edition. It is the country's broadest social development competition at the university level.

This platform is an opportunity for students to familiarise themselves with development practices, enabling them to think about the nation and world's development prospects whilst also bringing out their creative development ideas.

In association with BRAC, Devthon 2.0, will ask participants to solve societal issues such as urban poverty, unemployment etc., and challenge them to come up with the most appropriate approaches that can tackle such problems.

Nabil Junied Ratul, Joint Secretary of BUPDLC, says, "DEVTHON 2.0 is a platform where you can find the opportunity to study about development sectors and discuss them critically to solve a given social case. Through the case competition and optimal prize money, we are trying to propagate the interest of the youth towards social development."

There will be two phases in this year's event which will be held on two different days. First is the Development Case Competition (for undergrad students), and the other is the Devtalk (a session of young development practitioners).

"I feel gratified to be a part of such a distinguished event that provides development thinkers a great opportunity to unleash their inherent potentials," says Mamun Or Roshid, President of BUPDLC. "BUPDLC is a promising club for the effective intervention of the development prospects."

In 2020, BUPDLC successfully organised the first edition of DEVTHON, which attracted participation from universities across the nation. The club hopes Devthon 2.0 will reach its full potential as well.
