University research in Bangladesh: Failing to spend the measly amount of research funds since 2018-19 reflects many problems in Dhaka University - low-calibre research faculty; incompetence in research budgeting; inability to conceive and drive attractive research agendas; poor research incentives; etc.
A good university is a community of scholars, researchers and students coming together to create an environment of learning, critical thinking, and a space for personal growth. But faculty at universities in Bangladesh, for the most part, lack initiative, are uninterested in learning new things, but are quite energetic in securing personal benefits.
Some of the key standards of good university administration are transparency, accountability, quality of education, innovation and research, safe learning environment, etc.
Research in Bangladesh: Developing research potential in Bangladesh has become imperative in order for us to move forward as a nation, keep our economy growing, develop an educated citizenry, and, above all, create a “smart” Bangladesh – as our nation’s leader Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has mandated.
