Hasan was the joint secretary of the last panel. He is a former accounting student and was attached to Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Hall.

Chhatra Dal's last committee was formed on Sept 4, 2012, with Abdul Kader Bhuiyan as president and Habibur Rashid Habib as general secretary.

In the new committee, Mamunur Rashid Mamun has been made the Senior Vice-President and Ishaq Sarker the Organising Secretary.

Mahmudul Hasan Himel is Publicity Secretary while Abdus Sattar Patwari is Office Secretary.

The BNP chief had several meetings with Chhatra Dal central leaders in three phases in the past one and a half months before announcing the new panel.
