2. Background of the Establishment of the University:

The University of Dhaka was established in 1921 under the Government of India

Act XVIII of 1920, based on the recommendations of the Calcutta University

Commission as a unitary, teaching and residential university with a constitution similar in many respects to those of the-then contemporary British universities.

The University of Dhaka started its activities with three Faculties and 12

Departments with 60 teachers and 877 students. Initially, there were three dormitories for students - Salimullah Muslim Hall, Dacca Hall and Jagannath Hall.

At present, Dhaka University has 10 Faculties, 18 Halls including 2 (two) Hostels,

57 Departments, 9 Institutes and more than 34 Research Centers.

The University of Dhaka has a glorious past, an excellent present and hopefully a bright future. The university gradually expanded and came to its present shape in three phases.

The 1st phase was from 1921 to 1947, the 2nd from 1947 to 1971 and the last one has been from 1971 onward.

During the second phase, from 1947 to 1971, the University came out with a new character. British rule in the subcontinent ended on 15 August 1947. East Bengal, whose capital was Dhaka, formed a part of the new state of Pakistan. The University of Dhaka was given an affiliation mandate in place of an exclusive residential cumteaching character. The only higher educational institution of this province, the

University made good progress in the administration of the colleges, its own faculties, departments, halls and hostels.

A new phase began in the history of the University with the liberation of

Bangladesh and the emergence of the People's Republic of Bangladesh on 16

December 1971. This University has assumed a central role in the academic pursuits of the new nation.

The University of Dhaka has played a vital role in all national crisis and political movements such as the Language Movement of 1952, the Autonomy Movement of 1966, the Mass Movements of 1969 and 1970 and the movements against the autocratic rule in 1990. The teachers and students played a glorious role in the War of Liberation in 1971, in which the University lost nineteen eminent teachers, one officer, twenty-six employees and a few hundred students.

After the independence of Bangladesh the Government proclaimed the University of

Dhaka Order 1973. As a result, the University became an autonomous institution. In

4 National University recent times, the University has become the pioneer and the largest University of the country. Gradually, the University is achieving its targets in the field of education, research as well as management. New faculties, research centers, departments and students halls have been established. Now, around 30,000 students studying in the

University and almost 1600 teachers are engaged in teaching. Meanwhile, the university has firmly and successfully entered the computer age and is making extensive use of Internet facilities.

1953. It was placed to the Governor on 6 th June 1953. The assent of the Governor was first published in the “Dhaka Gazettee, extraordinary”, dated the 16 th June 1953.

English and Mathematics and the honours course was started in 1962. Initially twelve degree and eight intermediate colleges of eight districts came under its affiliation. As temporary arrangement offices of the newly-established University were set up in different buildings of Rajshahi town. The residence and office of the

Vice-Chancellor were set up in the historic “Borokuthi” Bhabon built by the Dutch beside the bank of the river Padma. The classes first started in Rajshahi College.

Residential hostels of students were built up in different places of the town. ‘Fuller hostel’, attached to the college, was converted into University hostel. “Lalkuthi”

Other Information


:

The USAID through a contract with the Texas A & M University provided this

University with necessary supports in the form of advisory services, fellowships, equipment etc. during its initial phase (1961-70). Development supports were available through two separate IDA Credit Agreements signed between the Government and the

World Bank in 1964 and 1966. Over the years the University received research supports from a number of international and national sources, like BARC, UGC, USDA, EC,

SDC, ISF, DANIDA, IRRI, IAEA, NORAD, Sterling University of UK, DFID, USAID and so on. The University maintains linkages with a good number of universities of

Japan, USA, Belgium, Korea, China, Canada and Pakistan through Memorandum of

Understandings (MOUs). Besides, the University has bilateral linkage programs with

International Rice Research Institute (IRRI), Center for Integrated Rural Development in

Asia and the Pacific (CIRDAP), International Irrigation Management Institute (IIMI),

Rural Development Academy (RDA) and Bangladesh Public Administration Training

Center (BPATC). Currently the University has been operating a few field-level research and development programs with some NGOs through bilateral cooperation.


As a matter of fact, all these bilateral and multilateral programs have opened up new avenues for the young teachers of this University to pursue their higher studies abroad.

Senior faculty-members are also getting opportunity to be awarded with visiting professorship and thus updating themselves with latest scientific knowledge on the discipline of their interest. Besides, the teachers are getting research support through these bilateral programs, which leaves a positive impact on the overall academic and research activities of the University.

Research Achievements :

The Bangladesh Agricultural University Research System (BAURES) is responsible for proper coordination and management of research projects. Since its establishment in

1984, it has successfully completed about 700 research projects and has at present 136 on-going projects. The University through its research activities has succeeded in developing and releasing a number of important crop cultivars, techniques and technologies relating to production, management and processing of agricultural products having direct bearing on nation’s agriculture growth.

Extension Activities :

The Bangladesh Agricultural University Extension Center (BAUEC) works for evolving an extension approach that can be replicated in all areas of Bangladesh and for making a bridge between farmers and BAU teachers, researchers and students through extension activities with the local people for the development of their farm, home and community.

The activities of BAUEC include transfer of technologies to the farming community, arranging farmers' training, identifying problems and felt-needs of the farmers and suggesting solutions in the process of feedback. Its development activities are now being operated through 46 societies in 22 villages under Mymensingh Sadar Upazila.

Training :

The Graduate Training Institute (GTI) conducts pre-service and in-service training programs for the graduates and the graduate officers and researchers working in various agricultural research and development organizations. Very recently, it started an academic foundation training program for university teachers with a view to placing university teaching on the solid foundation of professionalism.

The Faculty of Agricultural Economics and Rural Sociology, through its Bureau of

Socio-Economic Research and Training (BSERT), also conducts research and training programs in the areas of resource allocations, economics of agro-technologies, pricing and marketing of agricultural products, agricultural credit and finance management, rural institution with emphasis on cooperatives etc. The Bureau of Research, Testing and

Consultation (BRTC) attached to the Faculty of Agricultural Engineering and

Technology has been designed to stimulate research and training on agricultural engineering and to render expert service in the form of testing and consultation in the

28 National University field of agricultural engineering. Besides, the Seed Pathology Center (SPC) conducts training on seed health and the Faculty of Animal Husbandry arranges training on artificial insemination for the benefit of farming community.

Academic Dynamism :

BAU always maintains a high degree of institutional flexibility in order to be integrated into larger innovation, and competitive and economic development processes of the country. Three new teaching departments



Computer Science and Mathematics,

Biotechnology, and Environmental Science



had been established a few years back.

Another new discipline in the name of the Department of Seed Science and Technology has started functioning very recently. The Faculty of Agricultural Engineering &

Technology started offering courses leading to B.Sc.Food Engg. Degree. Agricultural

Business Institute has meanwhile been established. The University is also conducting a year-long course in PGD in ICT. Besides, a Language Lab has been developed within the

Department of Languages to upgrade learners’ skills in communicative English, especially in spoken English.

Conclusion :

BAU has been the principal supplier of skilled human capital for modernizing our national agriculture since its establishment in 1961. And yet it has a long way to go ahead. It is our vision to make this University an integrated institution with functional relationships with relevant government organizations, non-government organizations, and private sector firms enabling BAU to contribute meaningfully to agricultural development of Bangladesh. We want to provide quality of applied research at BAU and tie it more directly to rural practices. We require strengthening the outreach component to provide an immediate link between technology available at the University and the needs of rural people. We want to be guided by three watchwords-relevance, quality and internationalization - to respond to the call of a fast-changing world system. But we are at present acutely under-funded to attain all these goals.

2. Background of the Establishment of the University :

Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology, abbreviated as BUET, is the oldest institution for the study of Engineering and Architecture in Bangladesh.

The history of this institution dates back to the days of Dhaka Survey School which was established at Nalgola, Dhaka in 1876 to train Surveyors for the then

Government of Bengal of British India. As the years passed, the Survey School became the Ahsanullah School of Engineering offering three-year diploma courses in Civil, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering. In 1948, the School was upgraded to Ahsanullah Engineering College (at its present location) as the Faculty of

Engineering under the University of Dhaka offering four-year Bachelor's courses in Civil, Electrical, Mechanical, Chemical and Metallurgical Engineering. In order to create facilities for Post Graduate studies and research in particular, Ahsanullah

Engineering College was upgraded to the status of a University giving the new name of East Pakistan University of Engineering and Technology in the year 1962.

After independence of Bangladesh in 1971, it was renamed as the Bangladesh

University of Engineering and Technology (BUET).

It covered an area of 175 acre land surrounded by exotic green fields and beautiful landscape. In 1982, the university was shifted to Gazipur and academic work of the university started in the session 1985 primarily with four departments, 200 students and 10 teachers. Again in December 1989, the university came back to its original location at Shantidanga-Dulalpur by another

Government Order. But due to inadequate accommodation several buildings were requistioned in Kushtia town.

Several more departments were opened and the number of students went up steadily.

The final transfer of the university to its original campus took place on 01 November 1992. Civil construction is going on at the campus round the clock to complete the buildings.

2. Background of theEstablishment of the University

After a long struggle and a relentess movement, the Shahjalal University of

Science and Technology was established in 1987. The only University of its kind at the time, it started it’s career on the 14 th of February 1991 with only three departments: Physics, Chemistry, and Economics, 13 teachers and 205 students.

Now, at the end of 2007, it has expanded to 7 schools, 23 departments and one institute. The number of teachers has grown to 383 and the students to 8900.

Besides, the University has five affiliated medical colleges under the School of

Medical Sciences with 2701 students. And an Engineering College under the school of applied sciences & Technology.

SUST introduced the integrated honors course for the first time in Bangladesh. It introduced the semester system from the 1996-97 session and there was a remarkable improvement in the quality of education after the introduction of this system, which was visible even in the national arena. Every student from SUST has to take two language courses, one in Bangle and the other one in English.

Every student also has to take two computer courses, one for computer literacy and the other to learn a computer language. The computer center of SUST offers courses to every employees and can say, without any hesitation that SUST is the most IT enabled University in this country.

Although it is comparatively a new university in the country, SUST has already placed itself as an important institution in the country. The teachers participate in various academic affairs of the country and the graduating students are serving the nation, specially in the field of science and technology. It is not over statement, under proper guidance and a little help from the government this institution can be a center of excellence in a very short time.

Khulna is the third Metropolitan city of the country. After partition in 1947, the city grew up very fast as an important centre of trade and commerce under the flourishing industrial belt from Khalishpur to Phultala. Establishment of the port of Mongla accelerated the growth further. In meeting the ever increasing importance of the city, a Division with its Headquarters at Khulna was created in

1960. A number of divisional offices and a naval base were set up in the sixties.

The increase of population and the rapid growth of communication network of roads, railway and river routes with the northern and southern districts have brought about the process of urbanisation. In the early sixties, demand was raised for setting up of a

University in Khulna to cater to the educational needs of the area. Therefore, a

Commission was forged in 1974 known as Kudrat-e-Khuda Commission, recommended the establishment of a University in the division. In the year thereafter, the demand was persistent and the people by and large wanted to have a local

University as Khulna was the only Divisional Headquarters without any University.

On November 10, 1979 in the Cabinet Meeting, a proposal was raised to set up a

Technical University at Khulna division.

Later on, in pursuance of the decision of the University Grants Commission of

Bangladesh, a Committee was constituted headed by the renowned educational

Prof. Zillur Rahman Siddiqui. The Committee submitted their report and recommendations to the University Grants Commission of Bangladesh. The reports of the Committee along with the recommendation of University Grants

Commission of Bangladesh were submitted to the government.

At the same time the government fromed another committee under the leadership of Mr. Md. Mahbubuzzaman, the then Cabinet Secretary for selection of site of the proposed University at Khulna Division. The government, after a careful study and scrutiny of the reports of the two Committees, accepted their recommendations and took the decision to establish a University in Khulna Division (Vide Ministry of Education office order No. k 8/8BD-1/85(LÛ)-wk¶v, dated 04-1-1987. In a historical Public Meeting on March 09, 1989 the then President H.M Earshad laid the foundation stone of the University. On November 25, 1991 Begum Khaleda

Zia, the then Prime Minister formally inaugurated the academic activities of

Khulna University.

National University was established in 1992 by an Act of Parliament with features distinct from those of the traditional Universities. It grew out of the exigencies of time when most of the traditional universities of the country were encumbered with unwiedly roll strength, palgued by students unrest, and hard pressed to see to their obligation towards the affiliated colleges, which bore the bulk of tertiary education in the country. The objectives of the University is not only to ease the situation but also to improve the standard of education by upgrading the curricula and syllabi and ensuring academic discipline in all shperes.
