DU welcomes Ramadan in a well-organised and beautiful manner. For the last couple of years, however, the celebration of such Islamic festivities faced obstacles under the previous regime and its student wing.

This year, the celebration has turned into an exciting and festive one since the campus re-achieved its freedom as an aftermath of the mass-uprising in July of last year.
