Foreword by the Founder and Vice-Chancellor

Welcome to IUBAT the first non-government institution of its kind in Bangladesh.
Established in 1991, IUBAT is now a government approved university, which has forged a
reputation of quality and commitment among education institutions at home and abroad.
When IUBAT was originally established, it set out to provide an institution of higher
learning which would focus on business administration, agriculture and technology aspects
that could effectively contribute to the agro-economic and social development of
Bangladesh. We believe that we have achieved this by emphasizing investment in human
resource development.
IUBAT has shown a dedication and determination to making students hardworking full-fledged citizens of a modern
democratic state. In trying to achieve a career and status, it is all too easy for students to forget the responsibilities that
they have to each other and to society. In todays world, it is vital that students realize that the norm of values transcends
the individual and the group. IUBAT encourages its students to study objectively different concepts of knowledge and
then make choices themselves.
IUBAT academic standards are accepted worldwide, enjoying close links with many universities, institutions and
scholarly bodies from all over the world, giving students the opportunity to transfer to relevant programs and higher
education in other countries. We are also privileged to receive professors and academics from these countries as visiting
faculty as well as host students from the collaborating institutions.
At present, the permanent campus of the university on 5.5 acres of land area with scenic beauty on the bank of river
Turag provides a wide range of facilities including computer science, engineering, science, nursing, hospitality and
agriculture, labs, libraries, classrooms, full-time student counselors, cafeterias and playgrounds all of which help give
IUBAT An Environment Designed for Learning.
At IUBAT we aim to make you self-confident and flexible so that you are enabled to realize your true potential. We
believe that by attaining your qualifications with us you will undoubtedly enhance prospects of employment and
opportunity to play a key role in a rapidly changing social and economic environment. We hope you will choose to take
your course with us and we look forward to seeing you in the future.

GENERAL INFORMATION
HISTORY
IUBATInternational University of Business
Agriculture and Technology is the first nongovernment university established in Bangladesh. The
initial planning began in 1989 and the university was
established in 1991. Degree programs started in 1992
with agreement with Assumption University of
Bangkok, Thailand. IUBAT strongly lobbied for the
creation of non-government universities and supported
the initiative of the Government of Bangladesh in
passing legislation for formal establishment of nongovernment universities in the country. IUBAT now
operates as a government approved university under the
Non-Government University Act of 1992.
The tremendous need for developing human resources
of the society to bring in socio-economic
transformation through the agro-economic-industrial
development process constituted the background for
establishing IUBAT. The less than satisfactory
condition of existing universities and the wide gap
between demand and supply (in quantity, quality and
variety) provided additional basis to think of making an
investment in human resources development through
which fundamental economic and social problems of
the society can be tackled by the people on a self-reliant
basis. This thought process was accelerated in March,
1989 during a 3 week visit to Kansas State University
by Dr. M. Alimullah Miyan, Director of Institute of
Business Administration (IBA), Dhaka University,
where research and consultation led to development of
a paper incorporating the idea of a non-government
university and also that of a cooperative agreement with
the Kansas State University to support the realization of
the idea. A formal representation was made to the
Ministry of Education, Government of Bangladesh in
June, 1989 on the establishment of this new university.
IUBAT is geared to effectively contribute to
agro-economic, technological and social development
of Bangladesh. The aim is to promote higher
professional education with relevance to those growth
areas of the economy which require qualified human
resources and create a climate of professionalism and
scholasticism to promote further development of the
society. It is contended that the fundamental economic
problems of the society can be tackled by people
through an investment in human resources
development and in the process promote self reliance in
agro-economic development and higher education.
Since establishment, IUBAT has grown steadily.

IUBAT now offers one program leading to a post
graduate degree, nine programs leading to professional
bachelor degrees and two programs leading to
professional diplomas. In the short run, IUBAT has
plans to add a few new programs. In the long run,
IUBAT plans to offer programs in most of the
professional disciplines relevant to a developing
society. IUBAT operates as a non-profit institution and
offers academically rigorous, but practical, instruction
in professional disciplines. Md. Alimullah Miyan is the
Founder of IUBAT and recognized by the Government
of Bangladesh as the Founder of the university. The
institution derived inspiration from a group of
educationists and professionals from within the country
and abroad.
MISSION
The overall mission of IUBAT is human resources
development through appropriate teaching, training and
guidance as well as creation of knowledge conducive to
socio-agro-economic development of developing
societies in general and that of Bangladesh in particular.
This overall mission is being attained through offering
courses and curricula relating to various aspects of
knowledge as well as providing opportunities for
individuals to acquire skill and relevant experience in
the chosen field of specialization.
ACCREDITATION
IUBAT is approved by the Government of
Bangladesh as a degree granting institution under the
Non-Government University Act of 1992. IUBAT

research station will provide facilities to conduct
research in highland agriculture, horticulture,
floriculture and rubber cultivation.
An experimental farm for the College of Agricultural
Sciences is being established at Sreepur with the
initial land area of around 11 acres.
IUBAT College of Agricultural Sciences (ICAS)
believes in maintaining organic harmony with the
rural community and initiatives are being taken to
realize this vision. ICAS is in the process of
establishing IUBAT Agricultural Advisory Services

services of the experts of the ICAS in solving their
farm related problem over telephone, SMS, email,
mail and personal visits. An website in Bangla has
been developed and will be fully operational within
first quarter of 2015 (www.iubat.edu/iaas).
The other aspects of service to the rural community
are emerging through establishment of ICAS
Agriculture-cum-Agro Tourism Service Centers in
every agro-ecological zones (30) of Bangladesh. First
one of this is the one established in Bancharampur,
Brahman Baria named as Integrated Haor
Development Project (IHDP). The second one is the
Research Station at Bandarban. The third one is the
Experimental Farm at Sreepur. The fourth one is

project work, term paper, film shows, exercises, role
play, seminars, supervised reading, organization visits,
etc. A heavy reliance is placed on coaching, project
work, practice session and laboratory work. Students
are encouraged to engage in shared learning by forming
study groups and work teams. The program emphasizes
development of closer interaction between teachers and
18
students in formal and informal situations for

educational and mental development of the students.
EDUCATIONAL AIDS
Students are required to purchase their books and
reading materials which they must read critically and
attentively, learn to work through texts on their own,
understand these and come to class prepared to ask

Financial assistance to the needy but academically

eligible applicants.
The Admissions Office and Financial Assistance Office

coordinate and administer student financial aid
programs at IUBAT and provide financial assistance
and counseling to IUBAT students. Financial aid
awards to students are made according to financial need
i.e. the difference between current educational fees and
what individual students or their families can pay
towards these fees, besides those made on the basis of
scholastic achievement. The financial need is assessed
on the basis of information provided by the students
and their families in their financial aid applications.
Financial aid consists of money provided to students
and their families as either gift aid or self help to
help to pay university fees. Gift aid takes the form of
scholarship and grants and the students are not required
to repay these awards. Self-help includes deferred
payments and loans, which the students must repay or
money awarded through employment programs. Thus,
awards to students include scholarships, grants,
deferred payment, loans and work, singly or as a
package.
IUBAT financial assistance service to students includes
all four types of financial aid and the assistance
program is administered by the university under
different umbrellas like the Financial Assistance Fund
(FAF), IUBAT Multipurpose Cooperative Society
Limited (IMCSL) deferred payment facilities etc on
referral and recommendation by the Admissions Office.
Students receiving financial aid are required to be in
good standing with the university and maintain
satisfactory academic progress both in qualitative
measure of progress and time frame for completing the
degree objectives. The qualitative measure of progress
shall be in line with the academic standards of IUBAT
and any student receiving financial aid who is placed
on academic suspension may be suspended from
receiving financial aid until the good standing is
restored. As to the time frame, financial aid recipients
will be required to enroll on a full time basis, every
semester to graduate in the time prescribed as per the
course sequence. Students who withdraw from the
university once while receiving financial aid will be
subjected to financial aid warning. Students who
withdraw from the university more than once while
receiving financial aid may not be eligible for financial
aid. However, any aid recipient who exceeds 25% of
the required time for graduation will be subjected to
suspension from receiving financial aid. Students

facing extenuating circumstance which contributed to
their failure to maintain satisfactory progress may
appeal to the university for waiving financial aid
suspension.
Long Term Assistance Goals
IUBAT has set out the long term vision of producing
one
professional
graduate
from
each
village/ward/moholla of Bangladesh to contribute
towards creation of a knowledge based society. To
materialize this vision IUBAT has special provision for
supplementing the family resources of a student
through scholarship, grant, fee waiver, deferred
payment, campus job, student loan and the like. It is
IUBAT policy to cater to needs of all qualified students
who aspire for higher professional education regardless
of the income level of his/her family through
appropriate educational financing arrangements.
Institutional Arrangement for Assistance
To institutionalize the educational financing, IUBAT
has established an educational cooperative in the form
of IUBAT Multipurpose Cooperative Society Ltd.
(IMCSL), with a share capital of 50 million taka
divided in 500 thousand shares of Tk 100 each. One of
the prime objectives of IMCSL is to mobilize funds for
providing educational loan and scholarship to the
members and their dependents to help them pursue
higher education and professional training. IMCSL is a
prelude to establishment of an Educational Bank with a
wider mandate. Anyone can contribute to the share
capital by becoming a member and pave the way for
educational financing.
IUBAT has also introduced Career Development Loan

scheme for students out of the IMCSL as well as
Financial Assistance Fund (FAF) established at
IUBAT. Besides facilities of deferred fees payment
have been introduced at IUBAT. Loan under FAF is
free of any late payment charge, while the loan from
IMCSL carry service charge or deferred payment from
the university carries late payment charge. Students
after graduation and employment are required to repay
the loan on easy monthly installments, consistent with
the earning potential of the degree/diploma/certificate.

ACADEMIC REGULATIONS
ACADEMIC ORIENTATION
Education at IUBAT is oriented towards developing a
person in a holistic manner. This entails developing
in the individual an approach to life that is
productive, stimulating, rewarding and beneficial to
the immediate society as well as to mankind. The
General Education Curriculum at IUBAT has been
developed to address this orientation. This General
Education component is common to all degree
programs at IUBAT and is in sharp contrast to the
prevailing curriculum orientation of the conventional
universities of Bangladesh. Thus, there is a need to
specify the goals of the General Education
component along with its rationale.
IUBAT policy requires that every graduate must

demonstrate competence in reading, writing, and
speaking in English in academic and other contexts.
Written work involving examinations, assignments,
and other submissions in all courses must meet
minimum standards of English literacy. If any student
is found to be significantly deficient in writing in
English, s/he may be required to take remedial work
in English, unless the student is enrolled in freshman
English. Such deficiency may be pointed out by any
faculty and shall be made effective on
recommendation of the Department of Languages or
of the Dean of the concerned College of IUBAT.
Meeting the English language requirement shall be a
condition of graduation.
GENERAL EDUCATION CURRICULA

Language Skills
Besides the mother tongue, students must gain
proficiency in the English language. English is the
medium of most academic discourses and literature.
Students must develop adequate communicative
skills to understand the materials covered by the
university curriculum and function effectively in an
English language oriented environment. Thus,
IUBAT graduates must be able to read, write and
speak effectively in English.
The English language requirement may be satisfied
by passing ENG 101 Basic English Composition,
ENG 102 English Comprehension and Speaking,
ENG 203 Advanced English Composition and ENG
250 Public Speaking with at least a grade of C by all
degree students. All these are to be taken in sequence
and completed in the initial four semesters in the
university.
Students in the post graduate program may meet the
English language requirement by passing ENG 203
Advanced English Composition or ENG 298 Creative
Writing in English with at least a grade of C. Those
who face difficulty in following ENG 203 Advanced
English Composition may be required to build up
competence in English through additional
coursework by completing ENG 101 Basic English
Composition
and/or
ENG
102
English
Comprehension and Speaking and passing with a
minimum grade of C.
Oral communication skills are of critical importance

in classroom situation and work life and therefore,
students are strongly advised (though not mandated)
to take a course on public speaking, interpersonal
communication or business communication as an
elective during the freshman or sophomore year.
Students are required to demonstrate competency in
English by undergoing an English Language
Competency Test (ELCT) after successful
completion of all required English courses. ELCT is
conducted in every semester along with the semester
final examination and passing ELCT is a graduation
requirement.
To assist the students in gaining proficiency, English
has been made the First language of the IUBAT
campus. Besides, English Learning Centre has been
established under the Department of Languages to
conduct help sessions for students requiring special
attention.
Quantitative Skills
Basic mathematical skills are required to pursue
university level education and to increase the power
of reasoning at a higher level of abstraction, inference
and precision. All graduates are expected to
demonstrate adequate quantitative skills.
The basic quantitative skills requirement may be

to knowledge and such technology is integrated into
the learning process at IUBAT. Students are required
to have adequate competency in computer use to gain
access to information through Internet and
multimedia.
Certain programs may require substantially more

course work in sciences, while in some of the
diploma programs, the basic requirement in science
may be waived.
The basic requirement for information technology is

met through successful completion of CSC 103
Fundamentals of Computer and Applications and
CSC 104 Computer Applications Laboratory. In
addition, a College or a program may establish
specific departmental requirements to ensure that its
graduates attain a level of competency covering the
accessing, processing, and presentation of
information using a computer. Such a requirement
must be met by the relevant area student.
Understanding the social, political and economic

systems that shape up a society and the role of an
individual in the community is of central concern to
any educated person. Thus, IUBAT students are
required to be exposed to knowledge relating to
social, political, and economic systems to function
effectively in the contemporary world.
IUBAT emphasizes integration of information

technology, particularly use of computer in all its
educational programs and also in the life experience
of each graduate. To take full advantage of
information technology oriented environment at
IUBAT, students will find it worthwhile to own a
computer.
An Information Technology (IT) Learning Centre has
been established under the Department of Computer
Science and Engineering to provide additional
support to students to gain strong foothold in IT.
Scientific Process
Understanding of scientific principles and processes
is essential to development of a rational mind. As
such, students are required to understand the
processes, rationales, protocols, benefits and
limitations of science and influence of science on
society.
The basic requirements of familiarity with scientific
processes can be met through successful completion
of PHY 109 General Physics, PHY 110 Physics
Social Science
This requirement may be satisfied by taking courses

in economics, psychology, sociology, anthropology,
geography, political science, social work, and public
administration. Presently, the social science
requirement is met through successfully completing

Principles of Macroeconomics, and PSY 105 General
Psychology.
Additional requirements may be imposed in some
programs, while in diploma programs such
requirements may be waived.
Distinctive Philosophy
Students are encouraged to develop a distinctive
philosophical orientation to deal with ethical
dilemmas that they face in their profession and in
life at the present, and as those that evolve in future
through innovations in ideas and thoughts.
This requirement is met through successfully

The grade I may be assigned by a faculty at the end of a
semester to designate incomplete work in a course. It
should be used only when a student is unable to
complete requirements of the course because of illness,
hardship or death in the immediate family. Incomplete
(I) should only be given if the student has already
substantially completed the major requirements of the
course. The grade Ì' must be removed as soon as
possible but no later then 3 weeks from the beginning
of the next semester. At the end of deadline the faculty
must submit the final grade or this is automatically
converted into F grade.
Students are required to meet all course requirements of
a program and a student will have to repeat a course
with `F' grade when offered. Students may also repeat
courses for improving grades below B. Only the most
recent letter grade received in a given course will be
used in computing a student's cumulative grade point
average, if the student has completed the course more
than once and previously received a grade below B in
that course. The previous grade will not be used in
computation of cumulative grade point average, but it
will remain a part of the permanent record and will
appear in any transcript, unless removed through
Administrative Audit.

from the program. Suspended students will be allowed
to improve CGPA through retake of courses with
grades below B. Failure to come out of suspension after
2 semesters will result in academic dismissal of the
student from IUBAT.
The computation of Cumulative Grade Point Average
(CGPA) is done by multiplying grade value times the
number of credit hours for total grade points and then
dividing the total number of grade points by the number
of hours attempted. This is shown in the example given.

ACADEMIC STANDARDS
A degree student to remain in good standing must
maintain a Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA)
of 2.5 in a 4.0 point scale on the basis of number of
courses completed. If a student fails to maintain a
CGPA of 2.5 at the end of a semester, the student will
be placed on probation. The student will remain in
probation until a semester is completed with a CGPA
of 2.5 or above or until the student is suspended or
dismissed. If a student fails to remove probation after 2
semesters, s/he will be suspended from the program.
Suspended students will be allowed to improve CGPA
through retake of courses with grades below B. Failure
to come out of suspension after two semesters will
result in academic dismissal of the student from
IUBAT.
A diploma student to remain in good standing must
maintain a CGPA of 2.0 in a 4.0 point scale on the
basis of number of courses completed. If a student fails
to maintain a CGPA of 2.0 at the end of a semester, the
student will be placed on probation. The student will
remain in probation until a semester is completed with
a CGPA of 2.0 or above or until the student is
suspended or dismissed. If a student fails to remove

the student who tops the list of students completing the
different courses in the year with at least a CGPA of
3.8.
The Founders gold medal is awarded annually to any
graduating student who has attained a CGPA of 4.00 in
all credit courses.
ATTENDANCE AND PUNCTUALITY
Students are required to attend all classes, laboratories,
clinics, or other class meetings officially designated for
a particular course. They are also required to complete
all assignments. IUBAT or individual instructors may
make specific requirements about attendance and class
participation. An instructor therefore, may assign a final
grade of F in the course to a student who fails to meet
any one of the requirements. Such requirements are
made to be known to students within the first two
weeks of the course. It is the responsibility of a student
to ascertain the requirements of the course.
Only three absences in a course with acceptable reasons
may be excused by the instructor in a semester.
Permission of the Dean is required to remain absent in
three or more consecutive classes for reasons beyond
control (e.g. sickness) of the student. However, neither
absence nor leave of absence relieves students of
meeting all course requirements. Any student
remaining absent in any class of a course without
permission will be served with a notice of warning.
Unexcused absences will lead to reduced course grade,
suspension from the course or dismissal of the student
from the course.
Students must be punctual in attending classes. The
student coming late in a class will be penalized.
Habitual late comers may be suspended or dismissed
from the course. Late submission of assignments etc.
will also be penalized by reducing the grade earned on
the assignment.
Students are also required to attend all seminars,
workshops, debates, ceremonies or other officially
designated activities. Failure to do so will reflect on the
conduct of the student.
ACADEMIC OFFENSES
The students and faculty are jointly responsible for the
academic standards and reputation of the university. It
is well recognized that intellectual honesty is the basic
requirement for development and acquisition of
knowledge. Intellectual honesty is a pre-requisite for
continued membership in the university community.
Forms of intellectual dishonesty are plagiarism,

cheating in examinations, aiding and abetting cheating,
use of essay prepared by other persons, impersonation
of another student at an examination, misrepresentation
of information, falsification of academic records and
unruly behavior with instructor. These have been
elaborated in the Examination Rules adapted by
IUBAT and a student can secure a copy of the same by
making a request to the Office of the Registrar.
If a student is detected by the instructor in committing
academic offense, it may result in an 'F' grade for the
course or even dismissal of the student from the
university.
Student Identification
The university aims at developing a distinct and
cooperative student body that will create a favorable
impression in the community and society by their
character and conduct. An unbreakable plastic identity
card will be issued to each student upon registration in
the university. The student is required to display this
card while s/he is in the campus as well as in the
university transport with the objectives of ready
identification and facilitating acquaintance with fellow
students and faculty. The students are required to attend
the university with prescribed dresses.
DROP AND ADD
Students with early registration may add or drop
courses for the upcoming semester prior to
registration deadline of the semester at no charge.

FACILITIES AND SERVICES

Over the years, IUBAT has improved and enhanced its
facilities, services and amenities for the university
community. Opportunity for enlarging such facilities
and services have increased manifold with the shifting
of the university at its permanent campus as of 2004
and the continual development of the permanent
campus. An indication of the facilities, services and
amenities available to the university community is
provided below.
COUNSELING AND GUIDANCE
The facilities of counseling and guidance are
available to students under the leadership of qualified
psychologists. This service is provided under the
Counseling and Guidance Centre of IUBAT.
Although this is primarily a counseling service,
therapy to a limited extent is provided as and when
needed.
STUDENT ADVISORY SERVICE
The Student Advisory Services basically take two
forms, viz. academic advising and personal advising.
Academic advising is designed to assist students in
analyzing and achieving their educational and career
goals through academic programs in the university.
Each student is provided specific guidance in
choosing courses every semester, selecting major
concentration as well as choosing courses for meeting
specific degree requirements.
This academic
advisement is the primary responsibility of the
colleges in which the student is enrolled. For
different academic programs, there are designated
advisors in the university who render academic
advisement to the students during the dates specified
in the academic calendar of the university. Formal
notification is made to make the students aware of the
advisement period and requesting them to meet their
academic advisors, to work out, among other things,
the plan of study for the upcoming semester. Thus
each student gets the chance to work with the advisor
of the academic program, to chart out his/her
program of study on a firm basis for the next
semester as well as on a tentative basis for the entire
period of study in the university. The advisement is
formally communicated to the student, sometimes to
parent, and to other organs within the university for
smooth functioning of the academic program.
On the aspect of personal advising, each student is
provided with a faculty advisor on enrollment in the
university, with whom, the student is required to
maintain close contact for personal, academic and

other issues. The faculty advisor continues to advise
the students until the student is fully adapted to make
use of the various advising services of the university
on academic matters through the academic advisor
and personal matters through the counseling and
guidance service.
Academic warnings are issued to students whose
work falls below required standards. In such cases,
the student is asked to consult regularly with the
assigned advisor as well as seek assistance from the
counseling and guidance services. Parents or
guardians or sponsors, who regularly receive copies
of class absence notices, transcripts and academic
warnings or probationary notices, are welcome to
meet the advisor of their wards or sponsored student.
ACADEMIC SUPPORT SERVICES
Academic Support Service is geared towards
providing assistance to students who need help in
making the transition into an English medium
university operated on a semester system of
education, of which students have limited familiarity.
The services offered include a special academic
course, reading and tutorial assistance, counseling,
referral, educational and cultural activities. To
facilitate the transition to this new environment, the
university offers a required course under the label of
Educational Planning. This course helps students to
adjust themselves to make full use of the university
facilities for their personal development and
achieving career goals with less psychological stress.
Besides, individual students facing a problem in
adjustment are also be referred to counseling and
guidance services for personal counseling and to
academic advisors for assistance in terms of
developing a time plan for organizing academic life
in the university. All freshmen are welcome to this
service and are recommended to make use of the
same for the smooth transition to the new learning
environment provided by the university.

that through practice of simple rules, all will benefit
personally and also improve the image of IUBAT.
The Dress Code is a guideline that governs the dress,
manner, language and other activities at IUBAT.
IUBAT has no uniform but to maintain the same
spirit and discipline at the university it is expected
that all students will wear simple, neat and clean
44
dresses with clean shoes that will reflect the good

taste of all.
There is no detailed list of what can or cannot be
worn but certainly students must not wear dresses
like sandals, ragged clothes, worn or torn shoes, and
must not come to IUBAT without properly getting
dressed up. The boys must not wear sandals; they
must button their shirts and not fold their shirt
sleeves. The boys are required to wear trousers with
full or half sleeve shirts including half or full sleeve
Golf- shirts. It is required to put on a neck-tie (not
with golf shirt), while in the campus, to encourage
preparation for a professional career. They must have
decent haircuts and shave everyday (except those
who keep beard). Girls should avoid dressing up
excessively and should wear sandal with belt or
shoes.
The medium of instruction at IUBAT is English.
Many individuals are found to be shy to speak in
English, although they may know English reasonably
well. To overcome this situation and to increase
fluency in speaking English, the language in the
campus should be English.
All classroom
interactions are to be in English. All interactions
within the IUBAT campus should be in English. This
covers interactions among students, faculty,
administration and staff. English only in the campus
should be observed by all members of IUBAT
Community and enforcement of the same should be
monitored by all.
Students must observe Dress Code carefully and wear
something plain, comfortable and suitable for the
weather and the occasion within the guideline
indicated above. It is expected that students will
observe courtesy, for example not talk loudly, run
around or use offending words or impolite language.
They must remember that IUBAT has open class
rooms and it is a noise free and smoke free area.
English only in the campus should receive earnest
attention of all to overcome the handicap in spoken
English.
There is also a dress and behavior code for IUBAT
faculty and staff which is also given below for
information and use by present and prospective
IUBAT personnel.
Dress Code for Faculty, Officers and Staff
Through enforcing cleanliness, regularity and

discipline, the IUBAT faculty and staff have a role to
play in building up the image of IUBAT.
The faculty and staff are expected to conduct
themselves in all the IUBAT activities in such a way
that it earns them the respect of all. It is expected
that all faculty and staff would communicate
exclusively in English in the campus and dress
appropriately. It is also expected that the male
members of the IUBAT would shave regularly
(except those who keep beard), have decent haircut,
wear shoes and not sandals, conduct themselves
politely with their colleagues and the students. It is
required to put on a neck-tie, while in the campus, to
encourage the students. The female faculty and staff
should dress suitably.
IUBAT promotes an environment of learning and as
such the personnel should refrain from talking loudly,
behaving impolitely with others and smoking or
eating in the office room, office or the library. The
IUBAT personnel should make optimum use of the
telephone and other utilities. Everyone at the IUBAT
should conduct themselves in a cooperative and
friendly manner.
The adoption of dress and behavior code is a way of
creating an atmosphere which is conducive to
grooming of the students with the assistance of
university personnel. This process of grooming has
already brought forward good deal of dividend to
individual students.
Monitoring
The university has adopted a process of monitoring
of all classes held in the premises, observe the
attendance record of the students and provide for feed
back to all concerned. Students are provided with
information on absence from classes with a copy to
their parent, guardian or sponsor. The faculty is
informed of any missed class with proforma provided
for informing the makeup of lost classes so as to
ensure the timely and smooth conduct of academic
work in the university.
Besides, the student and their parents/guardians or
sponsors are kept regularly informed on attendance,
participation in specific university programs and
academic performance of their wards or nominees.
Such feedback process provides an opportunity for
early correction of deviation, and also develops a
sense of discipline among the participants of the
45
academic program in the university. The students are

also provided with regular feedback on their
academic performance involving examinations and
other academic work submitted for evaluation during
the progress of their course work as well as on
terminal basis.
Besides, the students are encouraged to participate in
building up a healthy academic atmosphere in the
university by giving feedback on courses taught in
the university by administering a structured
questionnaire on completion of a course in every
semester. This process takes the form of Course
Instruction Survey and provides the opportunity for
the student to provide structured feedback on the
course content, the conduct of the course, coverage,
instructor relating inputs and over all learning
objective realization. Through this participation the
students gain confidence in the academic process and
at the same time contribute to development of a
healthy environment for learning.
queries about holidays requests, personal details with

employee self service, and schedule monitoring.
Religious Facilities
IUBAT has respect for all religious groups and
observes all religious festivals in the university
calendar. Presently prayer room facilities are available
for Muslim students and faculty only. Two separate
prayer rooms are available for male and female Muslim
students and faculty who constitute the majority of the
university community.
FOOD SERVICES
IUBAT cafeterias are equipped with adequate facilities
to provide food services for the academic community.
The cafeterias are separately operated on self service
basis. Snacks and drinks are available throughout the
day along with provision for meals. The cafeterias are
open for service from 8:30 am 8:30 pm every day
except on university holidays.
Automated Time and Attendance System

PLACEMENT SERVICES
IUBAT has started to use automated time and
attendance system. Automated Time and Attendance
Systems provide an alternative to mechanical time
clock systems or paper-based timesheets. IUBAT
adopted this approach so that it can reduce the data
collection and processing time of the existing paper
based attendance system. This also introduces a
significant reduction in the cost of time and
attendance records system. This technology is
derived from the latest biometric devices. These
biometric devices deals with the fingerprint
recognition, face recognition and even voice
recognition. IUBAT is now using a fingerprint
recognition based time & attendance system. Because
of Automated Time and Attendance System every
aspect requires tracking and monitor employee
activities and management processes are available on
a computer.
It is used for keeping track of employee attendance
and the amount of hours they have worked. By using
instant online data processing of the initial input, any
type of report of the attendance and work hours can
be generated whenever demanded. New Automated
Time and attendance System can be easily integrated
with the current Operating System (Windows XP).
The System can automatically calculate the hours
worked by the employees. It reduces the time spent in
capturing, chasing, correcting, and collating
timesheets. It also reduces the time consumed in
The Placement Service of the university provides the

students and graduates assistance regarding career
planning and employment. This basically takes two
forms viz. assistance in placement to students in their
final semester for practicum work in real life
organizations and assistance in placement to graduate
students in securing career employment. Student
placement takes the form of providing assistance to
students in short listed organizations that may be
available for practicum work, providing support for
placement of practicum and then ensuring smooth
attachment of the student in the organization for
successful completion of the practicum work.
Assistance in career placement takes various forms of
services ranging from on campus interviewing with
the employers to resume referral to employers
seeking graduates for employment. Most services are
available for current students, but seniors or
graduates can also register with this office prior to
their graduation for assistance in career placement.
The university offers a course on career planning and
guidance in which the students are trained in resume
writing and critiquing, job search techniques and
interviewing skills. This course prepares the student
to plan and approach career exploration. Besides, the
placement office provides individualized counseling
on a limited basis on preparing job applications.
46
Those who would like to make use of the services of

the placement office are encouraged to register with
the office for one or two semesters prior to their
graduation by providing an up to date resume/ biodata for the file. Besides, they are well advised to
keep this file updated so that the credentials can be
referred to prospective employers on request basis.
The placement service aims at merging the interest of
the graduates and the employers to their mutual
benefits. Placement is organized both for local and
overseas employment. Placement for practicum in
the form of internship is also done on local and
international basis. Practicum placement has already
taken place in Canada, Pakistan, USA and UK.
Additional information on the placement services can
be obtained from the Director Projects who heads the
placement office.
COMPUTATIONAL
SERVICES
SUPPORT
AND
IUBAT Computer Education and Training Center

(CETC) is geared towards practicing and developing
a healthy computer culture and promote Information
Technology within and outside its community. The
major objectives of the center are the development of
knowledge, skills, technical capabilities and resource
base to facilitate the promotion of Information
Technology. These have been realized through
teaching, training, research, computational support
and services.
IUBAT has its own network-based computer
laboratory where users share the resources. The
CETC personnel are maintaining the LAN and the
PCs of several offices of IUBAT including PC
assembling, hardware and software troubleshooting,
LAN maintenance and trouble shooting.
IUBAT has highly skilled and experienced graduates,
working at CETC who can assure quick and proper
PC servicing, LAN installation and maintenance on
home, on-site or on contract basis.
Information System Board
IUBAT recognizes the need for a working
Information System (IS) involving a consistent
system of information flow, storage, analysis, etc.
Development of a functional system for information
processing and management calls for group efforts

and evolution over time. It is expected that a working
group consisting of selected representatives from
each stratum of information users can successfully
guide the designing and deployment of IS over short,
medium, and long terms.
As a preparatory step towards formation of IS Board,
an IS Working Group has been formed as of August,
1998:

The IS Working Group initiated consultations and
meetings from the beginning for the IS development.
Such meetings of IS Working Group were open for
participation by all interested members of IUBAT
Community.
The IS Working Group is represented by selected
persons (one from each) group of information users.
The term group here refers to a number of people
having similar needs in terms of information
processing.
The primary function of the eventual IS Board is to
identify respective representative user group, to define
and determine the information processing needs of
those groups and to propose a portable and feasible
solution to their needs. Other than the mentioned
function, the IS Board is also responsible for devising
means to regularly making sure that the IS of IUBAT
remains state of the art, in terms of people, procedure,
software and hardware.
47
The IS Board will be responsible for formulating

short, mid, and long term developmental plans for the
information systems of IUBAT. The policy and
procedures of IS at IUBAT have evolved through the
IS Working Group, which will eventually be
transformed into IS Board. In this process, IUBAT
expect to ensure a user-friendly IS and anyone in the
IUBAT community can contribute to the process of
evolving a state-of-the-art system in the university.
ORIENTATION
IUBAT organizes orientation of all new students
shortly at the beginning of each semester. All new
students are required and strongly urged to take
advantage of the orientation. At the new student
orientation, students receive structured information on
academic regulations, academic orientation of different
colleges, campus life-style and study habits, counseling
and guidance, library regulations, computational and
laboratory facilities, dress code, student organizations,
sports and recreational facilities as well as learn about
the many opportunities available at IUBAT.
Orientation also provides the opportunity for
recognizing the scholars of the previous semester with
citations and scholarships.
The existing students welcome the freshmen through
presentation of flower buds and thereby the foundation
of a cordial relation is laid between the freshmen and
seniors. A lively cultural program conducted by the
students, where the freshmen also at times join, follows
the structured part of orientation. Orientation has
already become a part of the IUBAT culture and so far
67orientations have been conducted. Further
information on orientation can be obtained by

organizing sports and other related events among the
student body of IUBAT. Since its birth IUBAT
GOLD has organized several table tennis
tournaments, football and cricket matches in
collaboration with other sports clubs such as the
IUBAT BLUES and JAGUARS. From 1995 to 1997
IUBAT GOLD was the unbeaten champion of

cultural events, and initiation program for freshman,
celebration of International Mothers Language Day,
Independence Day and Victory Day.
IUBAT BLUES
IUBAT Blues was established in 1994. In the first
football match against Gold, IUBAT Blues got the
biggest lesson that was never desired by anyone of its
members, they had digested 11 goals! Enthusiasm
went down but as it was Blues that took revenge after
2 years of regular practice and desire to win. IUBAT
Blues won in the 2nd match with Gold by 3 goals held
in 1998. Blues again defeated the third sports club
known as IUBAT Jaguars by four goals.
From then IUBAT Blues never looked back.
Nowadays, Blues is performing different activities
other than just playing. Blues has a structural frame
to form an executive committee and every year
members of the committee select new members so as
to have new ideas and views. Blues also has a welldeveloped constitution, which is followed by every

IUBAT JAGUARS
IUBAT GOLD
56
IUBAT Jaguars - The New Babes on the Block are the latest of the three sporting and co-curricular
clubs. The idea was to make the intra-university
competitions more exciting and competitive. Till then
only two sporting clubs made up for the students
requirement to compete and enjoy. But with the
IUBAT family getting bigger, a quick solution was
required to harness the new talents to the top level of
university competitions. The Jaguars was provided
with that and much more.
Adorably referred as The Jaguars, it was
considered nothing more than a push - over.
However, this club initiated the sporting career with a
bang. The first match that Jaguars played with the
senior most team of the university-IUBAT Gold
resulted in an upset of a big nature. The Babes
Jaguars defeated Gold by four goals to two - a result
that instantly brought recognition to the team as a
formidable side.
But the team did not stop at concentrating and
basking in their sporting success. The team bought an
entirely new dimension of thinking and action for the
student bodies, when they organized a field trip for
both its members and non-members of IUBAT
Community, with the freshmen batch as the special
guests.
IUBAT SINGING CHOIR

DEPARTMENTAL MAJORS
Areas of Major Concentration
Experience has shown that job preparation and
placement are best served when a business student
specializes in a major area. This is true even
though the student may later leave the chosen
functional area of specialization to move in other
directions. One or more of the following
concentration areas will be offered depending upon
availability of interested students and faculty.
However, a student may decide not to choose an
area of concentration. S/he may select any three
courses from one or more areas to complete course
requirements. The majors are organized into
departments as follows:
Department of Marketing Management
The marketing major concentration concerns with
the means by which business firms and nonprofit
institutions facilitate exchange with consumers or
client groups. Strategic and tactical issues in the
areas of promotion, pricing, product policy, sales
management, and physical distribution are
emphasized. In addition, specialized course work
is offered in such areas as consumer behavior,
quantitative
analysis,
retailing,
industrial
marketing, international marketing, and marketing
research.
The marketing concentration is particularly well
suited for those interested in the areas of sales,
advertising,
marketing
research,
product
management, retailing, and public relations.
Courses required are:
20
1. Marketing Research
2. Marketing Communication
3. Global Marketing
Department
Management
of
Production-Operations
The major in Production-Operations Management

aims at developing a student's ability to
successfully manage this critical function, to
provide quality goods and services for customer
satisfaction. Courses required for concentration
are:
1.
2.
3.
Production-Operations Strategy
Operations Research
Strategy, Technology and Management
of Innovation
Department of Financial Management

The cornerstone of the finance major is the study
of business financial management, an area that
may be defined as planning the availability and
controlling the allocation and expenditure of
financial resources. Course work deals with
corporate financial management, investments, the
management of major financial institutions,
financial theory, and the financial market system.
Concentrated study in finance at the post graduate
level prepares students for careers in private
industry or public administration. Since most
students, however, seek careers in the private
sector, many finance courses are directed toward
students who will be employed in commercial
banking, insurance, industrial finance, and the
securities industry. Courses required for
concentration are:
1. Capital Investment Decisions
2. Financial Management
3. Banking and Financial Institutions
Department of Human Resource Management
The Human Resources Management (HRM)
function includes a variety of activities, and key
among them is deciding what staffing needs you
have and whether to use independent contractors
or hire employees to fill these needs, recruiting and
training the best employees, ensuring they are high
performers, dealing with performance issues, and
ensuring your personnel and management
practices conform to various regulations. Activities
also include managing your approach to employee
21
benefits and compensation, employee records and

personnel policies.
1. Strategic Human Resource Management
2. Manpower Planning
3. Industrial Relations
The survival of human organizations depends upon
managers, their knowledge of managerial skills,
and the highest value is placed on men and women
trained to manage both human and technological
resources.
Courses on interpersonal behavior-individual,
group and organizational-present the fundamental
tools and techniques necessary to manage complex
organizations. Additional managerial skill courses
focus on specific functions such as personnel and
industrial relations. Finally, courses are offered
that examine the nature of the interrelationship
between organizations and their environment. In a
general sense, skills taught in the management
concentration focus on organization's allocation
and use of human and material resources. More
specifically, courses are designed to prepare
graduates for business and organizational decision
making.
Courses required for concentration are:
1. Organization Theory
2. Administrative Behavior
3. Management Information
Department of Management Information
Modern business includes high-speed computer,
distributed data processing systems, modern wordprocessing systems, computer-aided design, and
computer-aided manufacturing of products.
Present day managers must be prepared to evaluate
and determine the appropriate allocation of
resources for such equipments. Furthermore, they
must be able to make optimal use of the productive
resources available to them.
The curriculum in management information
attempts to prepare students for the modern
business environment of the new millennium by
exposing them to the most advanced concepts,
methods, and approaches to systems analysis and
problem solving.
Courses required are:
1. Systems Analysis and Design

DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

Mechanical Engineering is the oldest as well
as the widest branch of all the engineering
departments. It spans from the age of
Archimedes when the massive power of
lever arm was first introduced, and still
evolving through technological searches
with innovations like spacecraft for
terrestrial exploration. Beginning with the
classical mechanics, the mechanical
engineering has eventually expanded its
realm with the implementation of
thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat
transfer and material science. Mechanical
engineering is an accomplished engineering
field by virtue of its capability to extract
energy from the hydrocarbon fuels to
convert into work which is later enacted on
static systems to become dynamic. While
transferring from stationary to moving, all
the mechanisms required for it also are
being designed, manufactured and installed
by the mechanical personnel. Mechanical
engineers are constantly enlarging the
perimeters of todays utility world by
inventing more efficient machines to
produce safer, cheaper and reliable products.
Thus, the applicability of mechanical
engineering remains dominant equally in
both the household and industrial yards.
The Bachelor degree program offered by the
Department of Mechanical Engineering is
intended to prepare students for successful
careers in their job fields coping with the
needs of modern days. The course of study
is designed to enrich the students with
theoretical as well as experimental
knowledge essential to enter the fields of
design, production, sales and management.
At the same time it builds the foundation
footing in the fresh graduates for further
higher studies.
Mechanical engineers are in demand in

many types of manufacturing plants as well
as in research, academic and governmental
organizations. Specific positions involve
research and development, design of
equipment or systems, supervision of
production,
plant
engineering,
administration, sales engineering, testing
and evaluation of machines and entire plants
and teaching. The BSME program also
prepares them to address current and future
problems in areas such as energy storage
(fossil or renewable), alternative fuels,
hazardous (nuclear) waste management,
environmental control, more efficient energy
conversion methods and biomedical
engineering. The undergraduate degree
program is structured encompassing three
primary academic areas viz. thermal-fluid
science engineering, systems and design
engineering
and
materials
science
engineering.
Besides, the degree program, the Department
of Mechanical Engineering teach fundamental
core courses in engineering which supports the
degree programs in other departments of the
College of Engineering and Technology. The
Department also undertakes research, training,
consultancy and publication to a limited extent.
Some of this work is being carried out under
the umbrella of Centre for Technological
Research Training and Consultancy (CTRTC).
Mechanical Engineering Lab Facilities
Mechanical engineering is concerned with the design,
manufacturing and maintenance of mechanical
system. Mechanical engineers use the concepts of
mechanics, kinematics, thermodynamics, material
science and tools like computer aided engineering to
design manufacturing plant, industrial equipment and
machinery, heating and cooling and heating system,
motor vehicle and power system, air craft, water craft
and medical service and host of other items necessary

for a modern society. The department envisions
producing mechanical engineering graduates capable
of undertaking the challenge of the requirements of
global market and more particularly catering to the
indigenous needs of the country.
The Department of Mechanical Engineering has fullfledged labs in the campus, capable of meeting the
requirements of the students and faculty in
conducting fundamental experiments of prescribed
lab courses in the field of Mechanical Engineering
and related discipline. This department has the

BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN MECHANICAL ENGINEERING (BSME) PROGRAM

OBJECTIVES
Mechanical engineering is concerned with motion and
the processes whereby other energy forms are
converted into motion. Modern technological society
has its roots in mechanical engineering. Mechanical
engineers made significant contribution to modern
civilization. Such contributions took the form of
making engines to power ships, trains, motorcars,
spacecraft; designing power plants for converting the
energy in fuels, atoms, waterfalls and sunlight into
useful mechanical forms; and constructing intelligent
machines and robots. Thus the mechanical engineers
provided modern society with devices and systems to
utilize the energy form that causes motion. As a branch
of engineering education, mechanical engineering is
concerned with all forms of energy conversion and
transmission, the flow of fluids and heat, the
development, design and operation of machinery and
equipment and transportation processes. The

The arts and sciences are the traditional basis for higher education. They form the intellectual core of the
university. The arts and sciences include physical and biological sciences, the fine arts and social sciences,
the humanities and quantitative disciplines. The College seeks to develop intellectual skills, such as critical
analysis, self expression and creativity. The College offers one degree program in Economics and offers the
basic courses in the humanities, social sciences and physical sciences taken by students from other colleges
at IUBAT.

DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS
Economics is the social science that analyzes the
production, distribution, and consumption of goods
and services.
Current economic models developed out of the
broader field of political economy in the late 19th
century, owing to a desire to use an empirical
approach more akin to the physical sciences.
Economics aims to explain how economies work and
how economic agents interact. Economic analysis is
applied throughout society, in business, finance and
government, but also in crime, education, the family,
health, law, politics, religion, social institutions, war,
and science. The expanding domain of economics in
the social sciences has been described as economic
imperialism.
Common distinctions are drawn among various
dimensions of economics. The primary distinction is
between micro level, which examines the behavior of
basic elements in the economy, including individual
markets and agents such as consumers and firms,
buyers and sellers; and macro level, which addresses
issues affecting an entire economy, including
unemployment, inflation, economic growth, and
monetary and fiscal policy. Other distinctions
include: between positive and normative economics;
between economic theory and applied economics and
between rational and behavioral economics.
The major reasons for studying economics includes
learning ways of thinking, understanding society,
global affairs and to be an informed voter. Economics

is also indispensible for understanding on financial
studies like interest rates, inflation and government
borrowing; the issues affecting our daily life. The
benefit of studying economics is deep understanding
of overall situations as acting humans, for instance,
people often fail to properly account for the cost of
their choices. Once understanding over costs is
measured in terms of forgone alternatives, it might
have a very different view of some common choices.
Thus, in-depth knowledge on economics helps make
appropriate
decisions
leading
to
resource
optimizations.
The Department of Economics under the College of

Arts and Sciences of IUBAT offers a degree program
in Economics, provide courses in economics under
the general education module of other colleges of the
university, conducts research and organizes seminars,
workshops and training on economic issues facing
the society. Educational programs of the Department
also receives support from other departments and
colleges of the university to realize its objective of
developing manpower in the field of economics as
well as making contribution to solution of economic
problems facing the country. Students and faculty of
the Department have access to all facilities of the
university including extensive use of IT facilities
provided by the Computer Education and Training
Centre (CETC) for training and research.

Bachelor of Arts in Economics
BACHELOR OF ARTS IN ECONOMICS (BAEcon) PROGRAM

OBJECTIVE
The Department of Economics at the College Arts
and Sciences (CAAS) at IUBAT offers a program
leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts in
Economics (BA Econ). The program seeks to prepare
a student for a career as professional economist,
working in either the public or private sector. Both
major corporations and governments hire economists
to provide, for example, governments with rigorous
analysis of alternative policies, or provide
corporation with analysis of prospects in their
respective markets.
The value of economics is to allow one to see the
forest as well as the trees when studying how markets
work and how government policies influence
economic outcomes. Economics helps one to abstract
from details and to concentrate on essentials in
explaining how markets and governments work. The
basic assumption of economics is to interpret markets
and governments as institutions in which individuals
or groups of individuals are maximizing their own
interest, subject to various constraints. At its best,
economics helps explain a good deal of human
behavior.
Economics can sometimes become very theoretical,
and in some universities economics students graduate
with little appreciation of the practical problems in
business and government. At the Department of
Economics, the economics program is closely
integrated with other professional programs, such as
agriculture, business and computer sciences. The
Department of Economics expects students to
understand the practical aspects of business as well as
economic theory. All students are expected to
complete a practicum with a suitable organization.
Since IUBAT places great emphasis on achieving a
high level of competence in both written and oral
English, the program includes a series of courses on
use of the English language. IUBAT also encourages
students to become familiar with the use of
computers for written and mathematical work.
PROGRAM OF STUDY
To receive a Bachelor of Arts in Economics, a
student must complete successfully at least 125 credit
hours study. The student must satisfactorily complete
courses as specified by the following requirements.
The requirements are divided into four components:
A core of theoretical courses in economics

and related subjects. All economics students
are expected to complete successfully this
group of courses.
A set of elective economics courses.

Students must select and complete at least
six of these courses. Students may well
choose to complete more than the required
minimum number.
A set of courses in other Arts and Science

departments. These courses assure that
students obtain a satisfactory mastery of oral
and written English, and of mathematics.
These courses also expose students to ideas
in physical science and the humanities.
A set of courses in other colleges. These

courses assure that economics students
appreciate the practical problems associated
with agriculture and business. They also
allow students to develop an understanding
of basic computer technology.
PROGRAM FEES

COURSE ORGANIZATION AND DURATION
OF STUDY
Students will usually take 4 courses per semester.
Since most courses have a value of 3 credit hours, a
student will normally accomplish 12 credit hours per
semester toward his or her degree. The minimum
requirement for graduation is completion of 125
credit hours. Students usually take 11 semesters to
complete, unless a student obtains some course
waivers. IUBAT operates year round, with 3
semesters per year. It is possible, with full-time
study, to complete the program in less than 4 years.
Most students require, however, 4 years of study
before graduation.
If a student can show satisfactory evidence of having
mastered the contents of a course, he or she may be
excused from that particular course requirement.
Such waivers are subject to general IUBAT academic
regulations.
IUBAT and the Department of Economics place great

emphasis on the value of practical work experience in
all professional degree programs. In the fourth year
of study, Department of Economics will place
economics students as interns with suitable
organizations. The internship is an integral
component of the economics program, worth 9 credit
hours.
The BA Econ degree will be conferred only to the

DEPARTMENT OF LANGUAGES
The Department of Languages offers language courses
to support general education programs of the College of
Arts and Sciences (CAAS) as well as other colleges
The department presently offers all the preparatory and
advanced courses in English to all students of the
university and has a large complement of faculty to
carry out this task. The department also gets support
from visiting faculty to teach courses in English from
the UK, Canada, USA and the Netherlands. There are
22 full time faculty members in the department,

who are committed and dedicated to the
development of the department. They obtained
their higher degrees in the fields of English
Language/Applied Linguistics/ELT and English
Literature from the renowned universities in
Bangladesh while some obtained degrees from
foreign universities. Please see the profile

section- (the profiles of the faculty members in
this department). On recommendation of the
Academic Council of the university, the Board of
Governors has recently approved this program for
implementation.
The Proposed BA in English Program under the

Firm preparations are going ahead for starting a
Bachelor of Arts in English program under this
department of the university. A Departmental
Task Force on development and mounting of
this program was constituted in 2011. The Task

Force has already developed the curriculum of
this program. Collaborative works with Osmania
University, India, and West Illinois University,
USA, Louisiana State University, USA have been
initiated to establish an international academic
link, which will ultimately flourish the program.

The course provides solid

foundation chiefly in reading skills in English.
However, the course covers listening, writing
and speaking skills as a secondary focus-as a
part of integrated approach to English language
skills. The department has recetly developed a
common course book of the course which is
followed and complied by the students and the

DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL WORK AND SOCIAL WELFARE

INTRODUCTION
The rapid economic and social development in
developing countries is the demand of our time. The
political independence of these countries will remain
meaningless without economic emancipation of their
peoples. It is true that not only the concerned
Governments but also NGOs and the international
community are showing interest in their development.
But it is now increasingly felt that the socio-economic
transformation of a country cannot be brought about
without proper training and education of a sizeable
number of people for the purpose. It is these people,
who will have the knowledge to understand the needs
and problems of their fellow countrymen, are expected
to motivate them for the attainment of higher standard
of living and act as agents of socio-economic change.
Herein lays the rationale of the four-year
undergraduate Social Work Program. It is expected
that those who will successfully complete the program
will have the necessary intellectual background, social
and scientific knowledge and skills in Social Work.
The undergraduate program in Social Work would
enable the student to acquire theoretical knowledge in
social development and social work as well as gain
practical field experience. Social development has
reference to interaction between people and their
environment, especially the social environment. Social
work involves dealing with people, helping people
cope with their personal, social and material problems,
identify the factors that contribute in building up
hindrances in the healthy growth and development of
the person and society i.e., diagnose the problems
objectively and finding out ways and means to solve
the problems. The bachelor's degree in social work will
equip the student to work as an entry level social work
practitioners and the degree will be recognized as a
beginning level professional degree. Students with
degree in Social Work will be eligible to pursue
graduate studies in Social Welfare and Social Work
programs.
OBJECTIVES
The Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) program aims at
developing students' intellectual ability, aptitude and
skills in social work by complete grooming of their
personality for the purpose. They will be provided with
an appropriate blending of general education and
specialized education in Social Work. The program is
designed to assist students in understanding and
developing the unique qualities required for

successfully pursuing poverty alleviation and social
welfare activities in the community. The specific
objectives of the program are:
-
To produce a class of young people who will

be willing to contribute to economic and
social change by motivating people, by
providing leadership and direction for the
purpose of poverty alleviation and other
social development activities
To develop skills and aptitude among the
candidates to undertake field work so that
they can apply the knowledge in promoting
socio-economic development
To prepare students for higher studies in
Social Work at home and abroad
CAREER IN SOCIAL WORK

As both the Government concerned and the NGOs are
paying more attention and allocating more funds, more
doors of opportunities are being opened for the
graduates in Social Work. The degree will also help
the graduates to fulfill potential for high earnings,
increased responsibility, greater personal development
and self actualization. In particular, the Bachelor of
Social Work (BSW) program serves the needs of the
bright young persons who have earned HSC or
equivalent qualifications and are either looking for a
career education in social work profession or those
who are already employed in the social work sector
and want to increase their skill and proficiency.

understanding and prediction of natural
phenomena and the behavior of man-made
systems. It deals with profound questions
about the nature of the universe and with
some of the most important practical,
environmental and technological issues of
our time. The scope of physics is broad and
involves
mathematics,
theory
and
experiments, observations, information and
computing technology, materials. Physics
seeks simple explanations of physical
phenomena based on universal principles
stated in the concise and powerful language
of mathematics. The principles of physics
form a coherent unity applicable to
molecules, neutron stars, super-fluids, and
liquid crystals etc. Findings in physics have
implications in all walks of life ranging from
the way we perceive reality to gadgets of
everyday use. Physicists constantly test the
basic laws of nature by probing the
unknown, the mysterious and the complex.
They also search for new laws at the
frontiers of knowledge, systematically seek
novel properties of matter. They are alert to
the possibility of applying physical idea and
processes to new situations.

DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SCIENCES

Study of the society and social behavior is called
social science. In addition, the study of how groups
of people behave, often in an effort to predict how
they will behave in the future. Also, social science is
a branch of science that deals with the institutions
and functioning of human society and with the
interpersonal relationships of individuals as member
of society.
Department of Social Sciences under the College of
Arts and Sciences has been catering to the needs of
social sensitization of students of the university by
offering courses in social sciences. The university
graduates contribute in many fields of the society
such as: business, politics, leadership and shapes up
the socio-economic culture of Bangladesh.
The Department of Social Sciences offers courses to
students of all programs of the university as a part of
general education curricula in order to orient them in
all common features of the day to day phenomenon
of human life. Subjects of this department are part of
the graduation requirement. Through anthropology,
students know about the proud heritage of oriental
culture as well as the evolution of world culture as it
shapes up todays world. Students know about rich
and resourceful past and how this continent has
become the place of academic integrity by studying
history. Political science, public administration and
journalism educate students on how to become a
responsible citizen and how to become a critical fact
finder and problem solver; to find out the motto of
life.
Students read about the thoughts and philosophy and
the life of the WISE MEN of OLD from social
work, sociology, psychology; such as: Socrates,
Aristotle, Plato and many more. Gradually, students
can compare and contrast with their own culture and
heritage and socio-economic condition with the
ancient world as well as the modern part of the
present world; which help them to make the right
choice to build a better society. Incorporation of
social science subjects in other departments and
colleges at IUBAT make a graduate more robust
citizen.
The Department of Social Sciences is committed to
progress to create more and more creative adult
young citizen to contribute in a progressive
Bangladesh through the social science curricula.

DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY
Chemistry is the science of matter and energy and so
is the central science. There are nine million
chemical substances and more 400-500 are pouring
in every day. Every chemical can undergo hundreds
of chemical reactions and each one is inevitably
associated with emission or absorption of energy.
The emitted energy is used in household services,
aviation, rocketry, industrial production, and all
other natural and manmade activities. Many
chemical reactions come up with new products to
find new uses. Thus the material word shines and
also reserves the potential to grow more food, find
new energy sources, and discover new health saving
drugs. The stakes of chemistry are low but each one
is a great leap forward.
Obviously chemistry plays fundamental role in
science, engineering, and technology. Plant growth
and metabolism, production of inorganic fuels,
formation of igneous rocks, the role of ozone in the
atmosphere, the degradation of environmental
pollutants, the action of drugs and establishment of
forensic evidence are understood only from the
knowledge and perspective of chemistry. Knowledge
of chemistry contributes to the advancement of our
daily life in easing poverty and eradicating most of
the deadly diseases, traveling faster and making our
lives more convenient and comfortable. Chemistry
plays also a vital role in developing crop-enhancing,
safe agricultural chemicals to ensure a constant and
viable food supply and life-saving pharmaceuticals,
pesticides, plastic and synthetic fibers.
People involved in these areas, therefore must

have an understanding of the factors associated
with these technologies and skills. Development
of such understanding and skill requires careful
preparation through academic program and
practical excises. Department of chemistry at
the College of Arts & Science, IUBAT, provides
an opportunity for developing intellectual
background and skill in young students. At
present the Department is discharging its
responsibilities towards building strong
background on general chemistry and higher
organic chemistry to undergraduate students of
various departments of IUBAT. It helps
preparing students with solid foundation to face

a challenging life and enjoying a rewarding
career in the field undergoing continuous
technological changes. Challenges of present
day
chemistry
include
comprehensive
treatment of diseases and disorders of the living
world, ensuring faster and quality growth of
food, and finding inorganic and renewable
energy sources such as conversion of coal into
petroleum, water into hydrogen, and solar
energy into new forms of chemicals.
The students of the university are encouraged to
study chemistry on fundamental concepts, atomic
theory,
atomic
and
molecular
structure,
stoichiometry, periodic classification of metals,
metalloids, and nonmetals, liquid and gases,
concentration of solution, types of reactions, acids,
base, salt, chemical bonding, oxidation-reduction,
precipitation reaction, chemical kinetics, phase
equilibrium,
including
solvent
extraction,
electrochemistry including corrosion and its
prevention, introduction to organic chemistry with
emphasis on nomenclature, natural and synthetic
polymers, chemical spectroscopy, preparation and
properties of different organic compounds.
More important is that chemistry teachers and
undergraduate students have undertaken the
project to work round the year and study water
quality of the nearby Turag River continuously for
years in order to develop statistical models for
pollution and depollution by an insitu conversion
method of organic pollutants into carbon dioxide .
Water quality paramers being studied are pH,
conductivity, specific gravity, total solid, dissolved
solid, and DO. In another field diffusion of chemicals
are studied to determine the absolute and relative
velocities of chemicals and biochemicals, to
characterize diffusion controlled reactions, solvent
properties, factors responsible for the quick transfer
of biological molecules and medicines into human
body, and establish methods for isotope separation
and mass transfer in industrial process using an
instrument termed Desh Diffusimeter and a law of
Turbulent Super Diffusion developed and discovered
by Prof Abul
IUBAT.

sciences as well as principles of management to
problems in food, agriculture, natural resources and
environment. Agricultural education encompasses a
large arena involving crop production, food
preservation and processing, crop and livestock
marketing, study of plants and animals, natural
resources, plant protection, horticulture, agronomy, soil
science and related fields.
Educational program in agriculture prepares

students for diverse and stimulating career in
production, business, communications, science,
engineering and education. There are good career
opportunities for agricultural graduates with
openings as agricultural extension and research,
scientists, engineers, financial managers and
specialists, credit analysts, communication
specialist, horticulturist, extension specialist,
animal physiologist, marketing, merchandising &
sales representatives and the like positions. The
agricultural graduates are very much required for
development of Bangladesh and also for
manpower needs of developing countries in
Africa, Middle East and developed economies of
North America as well as Europe.
The College of Agricultural Sciences (CAS) is
organized into departments as follows:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Department of Agriculture
Department of Fisheries
Department of Animal Husbandry
Department of Veterinary Science and
Medicine
Presently the CAS offers one degree with

concentration under the Department of
Agriculture but with contribution from other
Departments. Progressively, concentration will be

made available in other Departmental areas.
Department of Agriculture
The Department of Agriculture is geared towards
increasing farm production, promoting agrobusiness and contributing towards better rural
living. The Department emphasizes integrated
agriculture to provide knowledge on field crops,
animals, fisheries, agro-forestry, irrigation, farm
management, food processing etc. Students with
concentration in agriculture have wide scope of
employment in agricultural extension services of
government,
NGOs
and
commercial
organizations.
Department of Fisheries
Fish is one of the important sources of protein,
more so in case of Bangladesh. There are
hundreds of species of fishes found in the rivers,
canals, haors, estuaries, and ponds as wells in the
Bay of Bengal. Over exploitation due to increased
demand, water pollution reduction in wetland as
well as poor processing have resulted in scarcity
of this important protein source. The Department
of Fisheries seeks to improve productivity,
preservation, marketing of fish in the country to
contribute to protein availability, export of fish as
well as securing a comfortable occupation for the
fishing community. The main objectives are to
develop the farming systems of aquatic animals
and plants, both in marine and freshwater
environments in Bangladesh. Aquaculture has the
potential to supply the fishery products through
wild-harvest fisheries to meet the global seafood
demand. Aquaculture contributes significantly in
freshwater fish production. Research and action
oriented work is in progress to prepare the ground
for offering a concentration in fisheries.
Department of Animal Husbandry
The Department of Animal Husbandry has been
designed for scientific investigation of potential
indigenous and exotic livestock and to improve
them in the local environment. Courses are also

taught in the relevant areas are: livestock
breeding, genetics, and hybridization. The
Department is also engaged in pursuit of scientific
knowledge related to the feeds and feeding of all
classes of animals of agricultural importance. A
concentration in Animal Husbandry will be
offered to agriculture students in the near future.
Department

upland hill agricultural research which will be
one in the countrys biodiversity and food
security centre. Keeping the traditional culture
of the Tribal and indigenous people and the
landscape unchanged, the research project will
develop a new dimension of sustainable living of
the under privileged hill dwellers. The students
of CAS are getting scope for practical
multidisciplinary agricultural practices there.
WWOOF Bangladesh
WWOOF Bangladesh of IUBAT is the member of

International Federation of Organic Agriculture
Movement (IFOAM).
IFOAM is the worldwide umbrella organization

for the organic movement, uniting more than
750 member organizations in 116 countries.
Due to indiscriminate use of chemical fertilizers
and pesticides and adoption of inappropriate
technologies viz. monoculture, hybrids, GMOs,
and segregation of members from association;
biodiversity and the health of soil, water and
life are in danger. So, organic farming is a
solution towards sustainable agriculture and
IUBAT is the forerunner of organic farming in
Bangladesh.
Organic trade is a rapidly growing reality all

over the world. The growth rates of the organic
sector demonstrate that organic products are
moving from the "niche" and entering
mainstream markets. The total land under
certified organic production worldwide has

reached over 26 million hectares. IFOAM is at
the center of this development.
IFOAM actively participates in international

agricultural and environmental negotiations
with the United Nations and multilateral
institutions to further the interests of the
organic agricultural movement worldwide.
IFOAM is uniquely recognized for taking on this
important role. The introduction of the
Principles of Organic Agriculture and the
recognition of IFOAM by international
institutions is of enormous importance for the
further development of organic agriculture.
Agriculture Call Centre

Establishment of an Agriculture Call Centre is
underway with the aim of making education
responsive to the needs of the agriculture sector
of Bangladesh. The purpose is mainly to respond
to issues raised by farmers instantly and on a
continuous basis. With the diversity and
increased options for using farm inputs, the
farmers need guidance and suggestion of expert
agriculturists. The Call Centre will stand by the
farmers in addressing these issues through
application of up to date knowledge, ICT and
agriculture technologies to create an enabling
agro-economic environment to promote agroproduction at the grassroots level. It will be a
single-knowledge pool catering to farmers
across the country, and may become as a
proving boon for the farming community.

Colleges of Nursing (AACN) in Essentials of
College and University Education for Professional
Nursing reflected on this philosophical orientation
of nursing profession. The nurse is regarded as an
integral part of client's environment and is
responsible for assisting the client in recognizing
and coping with health care needs throughout the
life process. Through application of the nursing
process, the nurse functions as a provider and
coordinator of care and as a member of
profession.
The College of Nursing has the goal of improving
health care and overall quality of life in the
country, in the region and in the world. The
College strives to achieve this goal through
providing opportunities for selected women and
men to obtain associate and baccalaureate
education in the profession of nursing, stimulate
the professional and intellectual growth of
individuals in health sciences and encourage as
well as facilitate research on health and illness of
individuals, families and communities.

IUBAT Hospital
(A 500 bed Multidisciplinary Hospital)
The hospital has been a part of the master
plan of the university since its inception to
provide facilities for practical to the
students of nursing (College of Nursing) as
well as health sciences and medical
education (College of Health Sciences and
Medical Education) of the university and at
the same time to make quality health care
services accessible and affordable to all

classes of people and to provide a platform
for continued research and development in
health care services. Over the time, the
university has grown and all parts of the
master plan are being implemented
progressively. As a part of this progressive
implementation of the master plan,
establishment of the hospital has began.
However, due to limited availability of
highly qualified expert architects for
specialized hospital building in Bangladesh,
the work could not be started until 2011.
Therefore, actual realization of the plan for
establishment of this teaching and service
hospital began in 2011 through a visit of the
Founder and Vice-Chancellor of IUBAT Prof
Dr M Alimullah Miyan to the Netherlands
where he met Architect Frans Kolkman who
is a retired specialist of hospital building
designs for 35 years. To help achieve the
worthwhile goals of educational services,
research as well as healthcare service to all
classes of people, Architect Kolkman agreed
to donate his time in designing the hospital
building and since last 4 years, he has been
donating his time. The specialized hospital
design firm Wiegerinck has provided
services on pro-bono basis in finalizing the
plan along with a floor area plan.
On the basis of the floor areas plan IUBAT is
planning to establish a people friendly 500
bed general hospital that will be accessible
to every category people of the society and
there will be no discrimination in providing
the healthcare services. In IUBAT hospital, it
is planned to categorize the healthcare
services in the following three: the Indoor
service, the Outdoor service and the
Specialized service. Including above IUBAT
2
Hospital will eventually globally outreach in

the sector of Public Health through
healthcare service and research work for
the benefit of the mass people.
Some key points of this hospital project are
as follows
Service; IUBAT Hospital will be the
first of its kind (e.g. private hospital)
in Bangladesh with a unique service
approach.
Design; The IUBAT Hospital is
designed by the Dutch Architects
mentioned above who are specially
experts and vastly experienced on
developing hospital projects. This
development process will add a
newer concept to the healthcare
sector of the country.
Technology; As like the design, the
IUBAT Hospital is planning to imply
the modern technologies for the
service, e.g. less file work more
automation in the system.
Not for Profit Organization; As it is
not a business organization, the
main concentration of IUBAT
Hospital
will
be
ensuring
international standard healthcare
service for the benefits of people,
not the profit.
Financial Assistance section; For
serving all category people with
same standard service, this hospital
will form a separate section as
Financial Assistance for the actual
needy people.
Provision of working in Public
Health sector; Parallel to healthcare
service there will be provision for
Teaching and Research to work in
the sector of Public Health for the

benefit of the society.
Outreach; IUBAT hospital will
eventually go for the global
outreach.
Mobile Clinic; It is in the plan to
promote healthcare services to the
remote areas by keeping the
provision of mobile clinics.
In Bangladesh, both the government and

private
organizations are
providing
healthcare facilities. The government
Medical Colleges, Hospitals, different
Institutes and Centers, etc are open for all
but due to some logistic limitations patients
are frequently not satisfied with the
healthcare services the government
organizations provide. On the other hand
such
private
organizations
are
discriminating among the patients. Some
are serving higher middle class people.
Some are there for middle and lower
middle class people. A very few NGOs are
working to provide healthcare services to
the needy group. Usually the upper class
people go abroad to take international
standard healthcare facility.
Therefore, this is the time to launch a
hospital that will be a model to the society
with a unique approach international
standard healthcare facility for all groups of
people in the society.
IUBAT owns the land where the hospital is
proposed to be established. Also IUBAT
runs BSN (Bachelor of Science in Nursing)
course on a regular basis. Moreover, the
location of IUBAT campus is such that it
bears a good communication to both the
main city and the remote areas. So, the
3
location is suitable for establishing such a

model in the healthcare sector of
Bangladesh.
The community will be benefited by this
hospital as below
The society will have a model for
such kind of projects in future.
People will get international
standard healthcare facility within
their reach.
Provision will be created for the
human resources in the healthcare
sector.
Teaching facility will be an aid to the
different medical courses.
Provision of doing research will be

an opportunity to the scholars.
Mobile
clinics
will
provide
healthcare supports and will create
social awareness to the remote area
people.
The concise scenario of the intended

hospital is
IUBAT Hospital will be a large, standalone,
not for profit organization to be established
in its own land by consulting the expert &
experienced Dutch Architects mentioned
above with a concept of serving every
category people of the society with
international standard healthcare.

COLLEGE OF HEALTH SCIENCES AND

MEDICAL EDUCATION
The College of Health Sciences and Medical
Education is geared towards producing health
professionals to contribute to health care at national
and international levels as well as to contribute to
medical education needs of the society. As an
application oriented university, IUBAT mission is to
be involved in all sciences and disciplines which
contribute to development of professionals.
Bangladesh faces tremendous challenges in providing
health care to its ever growing population with
limited number of health professionals and health
care facilities. Quality of care has also been
questioned at the level of users as well as providers.
The preventive and curative aspects of health care is
far from being developed in Bangladesh resulting in
most people of being deprived of modern health care
and depend on traditional faith healing for survival.
Such a situation is not a good omen for achieving
MDGs to which Bangladesh is committed.
In this backdrop, IUBAT have developed the College
of Nursing to produce quality nurses to meet the
demand for services as well as education. The
College of Health Sciences and Medical Education
has been planned to build-up on that base to produce
health professional as well as contribute to education,
research and development in health sciences,
The College of Health Sciences and Medical
Education has been organized into different
departments as follows:
a. Department of Medicine and Surgery

(MBBS)
b. Department of Dental Surgery (BDS)
c. Department of Pharmacology (BSPharm)
d. Department of Environmental Sciences
(BSEnv)
IUBAT Hospital
(A 500 bed Multidisciplinary Hospital)
The hospital has been a part of the master
plan of the university since its inception to
provide facilities for practical to the
students of nursing (College of Nursing) as
well as health sciences and medical

education (College of Health Sciences and
Medical Education) of the university and at
the same time to make quality health care
services accessible and affordable to all
classes of people and to provide a platform
for continued research and development in
health care services. Over the time, the
university has grown and all parts of the
master plan are being implemented
progressively. As a part of this progressive
implementation of the master plan,
establishment of the hospital has began.
However, due to limited availability of
highly qualified expert architects for
specialized hospital building in Bangladesh,
the work could not be started until 2011.
Therefore, actual realization of the plan for
establishment of this teaching and service
hospital began in 2011 through a visit of the
Founder and Vice-Chancellor of IUBAT Prof
Dr M Alimullah Miyan to the Netherlands
where he met Architect Frans Kolkman who
is a retired specialist of hospital building
designs for 35 years. To help achieve the
worthwhile goals of educational services,
research as well as healthcare service to all
classes of people, Architect Kolkman agreed
to donate his time in designing the hospital
building and since last 4 years, he has been
donating his time. The specialized hospital
design firm Wiegerinck has provided
services on pro-bono basis in finalizing the
plan along with a floor area plan.
On the basis of the floor areas plan IUBAT is
planning to establish a people friendly 500
bed general hospital that will be accessible

to every category people of the society and
there will be no discrimination in providing
the healthcare services. In IUBAT hospital, it
is planned to categorize the healthcare
services in the following three: the Indoor
service, the Outdoor service and the
Specialized service. Including above IUBAT
Hospital will eventually globally outreach in
the sector of Public Health through
healthcare service and research work for
the benefit of the mass people.
Some key points of this hospital project are
as follows
Service; IUBAT Hospital will be the
first of its kind (e.g. private hospital)
in Bangladesh with a unique service
approach.
Design; The IUBAT Hospital is
designed by the Dutch Architects
mentioned above who are specially
experts and vastly experienced on
developing hospital projects. This
development process will add a
newer concept to the healthcare
sector of the country.
Technology; As like the design, the
IUBAT Hospital is planning to imply
the modern technologies for the
service, e.g. less file work more
automation in the system.
Not for Profit Organization; As it is
not a business organization, the
main concentration of IUBAT
Hospital
will
be
ensuring
international standard healthcare
service for the benefits of people,
not the profit.
Financial Assistance section; For
serving all category people with
same standard service, this hospital
will form a separate section as
Financial Assistance for the actual

needy people.
Provision of working in Public
Health sector; Parallel to healthcare
service there will be provision for
Teaching and Research to work in
the sector of Public Health for the
benefit of the society.
Outreach; IUBAT hospital will
eventually go for the global
outreach.
Mobile Clinic; It is in the plan to
promote healthcare services to the
remote areas by keeping the
provision of mobile clinics.
In Bangladesh, both the government and

private
organizations are
providing
healthcare facilities. The government
Medical Colleges, Hospitals, different
Institutes and Centers, etc are open for all
but due to some logistic limitations patients
are frequently not satisfied with the
healthcare services the government
organizations provide. On the other hand
such
private
organizations
are
discriminating among the patients. Some
are serving higher middle class people.
Some are there for middle and lower
middle class people. A very few NGOs are
working to provide healthcare services to
the needy group. Usually the upper class
people go abroad to take international
standard healthcare facility.
Therefore, this is the time to launch a
hospital that will be a model to the society
with a unique approach international
standard healthcare facility for all groups of
people in the society.
IUBAT owns the land where the hospital is
proposed to be established. Also IUBAT
runs BSN (Bachelor of Science in Nursing)
2
course on a regular basis. Moreover, the

location of IUBAT campus is such that it
bears a good communication to both the
main city and the remote areas. So, the
location is suitable for establishing such a
model in the healthcare sector of
Bangladesh.
The community will be benefited by this
hospital as below
The society will have a model for
such kind of projects in future.
People will get international
standard healthcare facility within
their reach.
Provision will be created for the
human resources in the healthcare
sector.
Teaching facility will be an aid to the
different medical courses.
Provision of doing research will be

an opportunity to the scholars.
Mobile
clinics
will
provide
healthcare supports and will create
social awareness to the remote area
people.
The concise scenario of the intended

hospital is
IUBAT Hospital will be a large, standalone,
not for profit organization to be established
in its own land by consulting the expert &
experienced Dutch Architects mentioned
above with a concept of serving every
category people of the society with
international standard healthcare.
DEPARTMENT OF MEDICINE AND SURGERY

Medical science has developed at a phenomenal pace
in the past centuries to ensure well-being of the
people. Increasing number of doctors and surgeons
are being turned out by medical colleges to meet the
demand for health care. As mentioned earlier, people
of Bangladesh are largely deprived of modern health
care due to poor patient to doctor ratio, limited health
care facilities as well as disparity in distribution of
doctors between urban, semi-urban and rural areas.
Besides, given the low per-capita income,
affordability of modern health care has also come
into question. However, availability of qualified and
committed doctors and surgeons remains a vital issue
to meet the demand of a population of 150+ millions.
In the context this background, the Department of
Medicine and Surgery offers an educational program
leading to Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of
Surgery (MBBS). The program provides students
with state of the art education and training to enable
them, as graduates, to practise medicine in the 21st
Century. The Department is devoting considerable
time in reviewing the requirements of graduates to
ensure that they will become effective modern
medical practitioners and to develop and evaluate
styles of learning and teaching that are best suited to
producing such graduates. The outcome will be a
state of the art, integrated educational program. In
addition to producing graduates who are fully
competent to undertake an internship, a major aim of
the curriculum is to make learning enjoyable and
stimulating.
The Department draws on three major "streams" of
the program are the core elements of medical
practice: the Scientific Basis of Medicine, Clinical
Skills and Medical Personal and Professional
Development. These three streams form the
basis of an integrated case-based program in Years 12. Throughout Years 3-5, students will expand their
knowledge, experience and skills within these three
streams as they undertake placements within the
teaching hospitals and in the broader medical
community. Case-based learning (CBL) is being
adopted as the dominant learning mode during the
early years of the curriculum. The curriculum begins
with an introduction to case-based learning (CBL)
processes and study continues in small groups
using clinical cases of the most common and
important diseases as a basis.
Lectures are carefully staged throughout each CBL

case to provide key information to assist the students
as they progress. Resource (or practical) sessions
relating to the case are introduced throughout the
study period at appropriate intervals. These sessions
allow students to work with physiological problems
and introduce them to anatomical specimens that
demonstrate normal features, often in conjunction
with diseased specimens. These sessions are designed
to have practical application. The emphasis
throughout the program is on understanding, and
being able to explain, mechanisms and principles.
Many students may need help with some of the basic
concepts of biology and chemistry in order to study
medicine effectively and efficiently. In Year 1,
students undertake two semesters of biology:
Molecules, Genes and Cells in semester 1 and Human
Perspectives in semester 2.Throughout the CBL
program, learning in medical disciplines such as
pathology, anatomy, physiology, and pharmacology
are taught in the context of the case under
study. Students are then able to bring this core
learning to their later placements within the teaching
hospitals and the broader medical and health
community.
Training in clinical skills begins from the first
semester. In Years 1 and 2 this is done by senior
clinicians in small groups in a dedicated clinical
skills laboratory. The clinical study program is
linked to the system of the CBL case under study. In
Year 3, clinical skills training are located primarily in
the teaching hospitals. In years 4-5 students advance
their clinical skills competencies throughout a range
of clinical attachments. A major emphasis is placed
on developing effective communication and decisionmaking skills, the practice of evidence-based and
preventative medicine and on becoming competent
users of information and information technology.
The Medical Professional and Personal Development
stream aims to introduce students to the complex
communication,
ethical,
psycho-social,
and
preventative medicine competencies required by a
medical practitioner. Preventative medicine is
increasingly being recognised as one of the most
important elements of a modern health system. The
Department places a special emphasis on evidence
based medicine and the principles of public health
that inform the practise of preventive medicine.
Changes in health care arrangements in the

community and pressures on the way in which
the major teaching hospitals deliver health care
have required changes to the traditional
approaches to medical training. These changes
have resulted in increased opportunities for
students to be trained in placements within the
community. In addition to these community

electives, all Yr 4 students undertake a
pregnancy attachment wherein each student will
be introduced to a consenting pregnant woman,
and they will follow this person during her prenatal visits, labour, delivery and subsequent
follow-up.

SOUTH ASIAN DISASTER MANAGEMENT CENTER (SADMC)

BACKGROUND
Disaster Management at present is a crying need of
South Asia. Devastating floods, tidal bores, cyclones,
earthquakes, epidemics, civil strife and the like events
have become a part of life of the people living in this
region. Unfortunately, there is a very little preparation
to cope with such natural calamities. In most cases,
affected areas have limited capability of effective
response to immediate emergency needs to minimize
mortality, epidemics, providing food and shelter, and
maintaining
essential
services.
Environmental
degradation accentuates disasters and at the same time
disasters also increase environmental degradation.
Disaster management planning based on existing
infrastructure, availability of resources and manpower
is highly essential for long-term rehabilitation. .
The scale of disasters in South Asia defies
comprehension. The cyclone and storm surges in
Bangladesh in 1991 killed an estimated 140,000
people. In India, the drought of 1987-88 affected 285
million people and in Pakistan a great number of were
affected and became home less due to earthquake in
1991.. The deforestation in Nepal is causing serious
environment problems affecting livesin home and in
neighboring countries.
The floods in Bangladesh in September 1988 affected
37 million people and 6.4 million hectares of crop land.
The flood of 1998 was a repetition of the same
situation.
South Asian Region with a population of 1.626
billion which is about one-quarter of world
population living within the Asian Tropical monsoon;
shares water resources, glaciers, rivers and of course
common climate irrespective of cultures and
boundaries. However, this highly populated region
has diverse culture but poor and very vulnerable to
natural and anthropogenic disasters like, tropical
cyclones, floods, droughts, earthquake, Tsunami, fire
and epidemics etc. which have caused worst impacts
on lives and livelihoods. In the recent past, the
severities of the disasters have been intensified and
people are becoming more susceptible especially the
women and children. A few examples of extreme
events of this region are highlighted below:
Bangladesh Cyclone 1991: The Bangladesh cyclone
hit Bangladesh on 29th April. The storm originated in
the Indian Ocean and crossed the Bay of Bengal coast
with a diameter of 600 km. The maximum wind
speed observed 260 km/h. The maximum storm surge

height reached about 5 to 8 m. Casualty: 138,000
people, 70,000 cattle. Damages: loss of property was
estimated at about USD 86.4 million.
South Asian tsunami 2004: The Indian Ocean
earthquake was an undersea mega-thrust earthquake
that occurred at 00:58:53 UTC on Sunday, 26
December 2004, with an epicenter off the west coast
of Sumatra, Indonesia. The quake itself is known by
the scientific community as the SumatraAndaman
earthquake and the magnitude was 9.1 and it was the
longest duration of faulting ever observed, between
8.3 and 10 minutes. The earthquake was caused when
the Indian Plate was sub-ducted by the Burma Plate
and triggered a series of devastating tsunamis along
the coasts of most landmasses bordering the Indian
Ocean, killing over 230,000 people in fourteen
countries, and inundating coastal communities with
waves up to 30 meters high. The earthquake and
resulting tsunami affected many countries in
Southeast Asia and beyond, including Indonesia, Sri
Lanka, India, Thailand, the Maldives, Somalia,
Myanmar,
Malaysia,
Seychelles,
Tanzania,
Bangladesh, South Africa, Yemen, Kenya and
Madagasker. Many other countries, especially
Australia and those in Europe, had large numbers of
citizens traveling in the region on holiday. Sweden
lost 543 citizens in the disaster, while Germany had
539 identified victims. It was one of the deadliest
natural disasters in recorded history. Indonesia was
the hardest-hit country, followed by Sri Lanka, India,
and Thailand.
Cyclone Sidr-2007: Cyclone Sidr was the strongest
named cyclone in the Bay of Bengal, resulting in one
of the worst natural disasters in Bangladesh. Sidr
formed in the central Bay of Bengal, and quickly
strengthened to reach peak 1-minute sustained winds
of 260 km/h. The storm eventually made landfall in
Bangladesh on November 15, 2007, causing largescale evacuations. A total 4036 deaths were blamed
on the storm and the loss of property was estimated
USD 1.7 billion. The World Heritage Sundarbans
mangrove forest along with huge wildlife was badly
affected. Although, the death from Sidr number in the
hundreds but damage to homes, crops and livelihoods
could be extensive. Under a Cyclone Preparedness
Program, volunteers evacuated at least 600,000
Bangladeshis in the path of the storm. Many are
housed in 1,800 multipurpose disaster shelters built
along the coast. Relief organizations distributed
seven-day emergency disaster kits of food, blankets

and clothing for evacuated families.
Cyclone Nargis- 2008: A very strong tropical
cyclone was originated in the central Bay of Bengal
on 27th April moved eastward and caused the worst
natural disaster in the recorded history of Burma. The
cyclone made landfall in Burma on Friday, May 2,
2008, sending a storm surge 40 kilometers up the
densely-populated
Irrawaddy
delta,
causing
catastrophic destruction and at least 138,000
fatalities. The maximum wind speed was recorded
215 km/hr. There were around 55,000 people missing
and many other deaths were found in other towns and
areas. Damage was estimated at over US$10 billion,
which made it the most damaging cyclone ever
recorded in this basin. Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and
India were also affected by the devastating Nargis.
But for effective awareness the death was only 126 in
Bangladesh
Cyclone Aila 2009: The disaster Cyclone Aila hit
the south western part of Bangladesh and West
Bengal of India on 25th May 2009 with a
maximum wind speed 120 km/hr. Critically, Aila
destroyed more than 700 km of coastal embankments
and 325 people were killed by the flooding of which
26 were Bangladeshi. The
seawater
flooded
villages and fields displacing over 2 million people,
many of whom were still living in poor
conditions on strips of raised land one year later.
100,000 livestock were killed and over 340,660 acres
of cropland destroyed and the total loss of property
was estimated USD 552.6 million. Still the repair of
the embankments is not completed and thousands of
families remained more vulnerable to future flooding.
Table-1 Tropical Cyclones Affected Coastal Zones
Cyclone Mahasen of May 2013 that affected

Bangladesh, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, Thailand and
Myanmar claimed lives of around 150 people and crop
damage of around US$5.14 million.
These are a few of the many instances of the effects of

natural disasters in South Asia and their severity. Along
with these, there are problems caused by environmental
degradation,
quick
unplanned
urbanization,
industrialization, huge influx of population in the
megacities and many other hazards.
In view of above, IUBAT created South Asian Disaster
Management Center (SADMC) in 1991 to contribute to
emergency as well as contingency management
performance of local, and regional bodies and other
organizations.
SADMC
is
geared
towards
strengthening disaster management activities as well as
environmental management in the region.
OBJECTIVES
The basic goal of South Asian Disaster Management
Center (SADMC) is to improve emergency as well as
contingency management performance of private
voluntary agencies, local and national, regional, and
international organizations through comprehensive
professional development programs in disaster
management and environmental management.
The objectives of the center, are:

To apply knowledge of management science for

effective management of natural disasters and
related environmental issues.
To integrate traditional and indigenous knowledge
on disaster management through research and
consultation.
To conduct training and orientation programs for
executives and policy makers to develop skills in
disaster and/environmental management.
To develop academic specialization on disaster and
environmental management.
To disseminate information on disaster
management and environmental issues through
information sharing and publication.
To develop appropriate linkages with national,
regional and international disaster management
and environmental programs as well as bodies.
ACTIVITY DOMAIN
The programs include training courses, workshops, and
seminars for sharing knowledge and skill improvement;
providing consultancy services and conducting applied
research. It also offers joint courses and consultancy
services. It organizes conferences and disseminates
knowledge gained through appropriate research,
publications and other field activities. The disaster
management programs identify and provide
opportunities for research and manpower development.
Research
Given the overall objective of the center to generate
knowledge about disaster and environment
management and the application of such knowledge in
increasing the effectiveness of national, regional and
international efforts in managing disasters in this
region, the creation of such knowledge at the center is
focused on generic as well as applied research. In
addressing this, the orientation of research activities in
the center has been following two complementary
approaches which include:
i)
Development of frameworks for exploration
of basic issues which have bearing on disaster
management program activities. This is
required to identify the determinants of need
for disaster management services and to
address issues in cognition and motivation to
cope with disasters; and
ii)
Action-oriented research for bringing changes
to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of
the current programs and organizations. The
research activities of the center are expected
to make a positive impact by improving
performance and
efficient utilization of
resources along with the development of
professional norms.
Manpower Development
The manpower development activities in the center are
mainly geared towards the development of
professionals, managers and field supervisors capable
of manning and guiding the country's disaster
management efforts through a combination of
structured courses of studies, field visits, and project
work. The emphasis on developing manpower in the
sector stems from the contention of various quarters
that operating as well as administrative/managerial
expertise needs to be substantially enhanced in the
context of disaster management in the region.
involved in disaster management and environmental

activities. Then there are the voluntary organizations
and community groups involved in this area. They too
represent a significant manpower complement
requiring specially tailored training which the center
endeavors to support within its capability. In recent
times, the training experiences of the resource persons
of the center have led to the development of an
improved approach catering simultaneously to various
segments within the larger target group.
The center also offers specially-tailored courses for
specific clients. Course contents are designed with
particular focus on the participant's work environment
and task domain. An innovative approach that has been
introduced is to involve the participants in miniresearch on problems relating to their work within the
organizational context in order to develop analytical
and decision making skills. As a result, the sponsoring
organization will also derive substantive benefits. The
involvement of professional managers having
experience in subject matters relating to the learning
objectives of the participants, and the introduction of
field visits to enable the participants to relate to
practices in reality lend further relevance to the
manpower development program.
The center offer courses, seminars and workshops on
management of disaster and environmental issues for
different levels of officials and managers of
government,
non-government
and
private
organizations. Descriptions of program offerings and
services are provided below for illustration.
Program Offering
A disaster preparedness program calls for attempts to
prevent or minimize loss of life and property caused by
disasters and to facilitate recovery through
strengthening of national disaster prevention,
mitigation, preparedness, response and rehabilitation by
providing the following types of training activities and
courses and consultancy services.
Certificate Course on Disaster Management
This course is normally offered two times in a
year; it provides multi-disciplinary overview of the
field of disaster management and is intended to
improve the understanding and skills of mid-to-senior
level persons having responsibility for some aspect of
emergency preparedness or response.
Special Certificate Courses
Added to the government program personnel are a large

number of individuals of private enterprises and NGOs
Specialized short courses are organized to meet specific

emergency related topics, or on request, for agencies or
departments involved in specialized emergency-related
tasks.
Certificate Course for Field Supervisors
This course aims at improving the supervisory and
leadership skills of the people engaged in organizing,
directing and leading the volunteers or workers
engaged in motivation, mobilizing and helping people
before, during and after the disasters.
The issues that are addressed range from evaluation and

problem solving tasks to system development exercise.
Within this overall domain, the center takes the
initiative to delineate and propose advisory services in
various areas to obtain reactions of the managers or
operations and to help them shape their felt needs in
more concrete terms. The center also entertains requests
from government, non-government and private
organizations for advisory services on disaster and
environment related areas.
Institutional Linkages
Certificate Course on Information,

Education, Motivation and Communication
The course will orient the participants with the art of
successful education and communication activities so
that they can motivate people to take precautionary
measures and emergency steps to reduce the impact of
disaster.
In its institutional linkage development efforts, the

SADMC strives to achieve the following with the
relevant-environment:
-
Research and Planning Services
Research may be undertaken upon request in such areas

as vulnerability analyses, disaster management
structures, the evaluation of disaster related operations
and environmental issues. Support can be provided in
the preparation and simulation of contingency plans
related to specific disaster situations of environmental
aspects.
Participation in government committees and

forums
Participation
in
activities
of
other
organizations concerned with disaster
management and environment-related sectors
Collaboration with other centers, institutes,
organizations and associations
Information sharing through publication and
communication
Providing opportunities to other organizations,
institutions and individuals to participate in
SADMC activities
Development of professional personnel
Resource Persons
Advisory Services
Effective performance of any program requires, among
other things, a set of well-designed and appropriate
management and operating systems, a group of experts
to develop and design these systems, and a set of
capable managers and operators to operate and
maintain these systems competently. It has been
recognized that improved systems are very much
needed in the disaster and environmental management
for ensuring effective operations. Although, some
attention has been given recently to enhance the
capabilities and skills of managers and operators; yet
initiatives in developing management and operating
systems are still limited. In the context of this situation,
the center endeavors to provide assistance to policy
makers, program managers and operators through its
advisory services.
The advisory service activities are basically directed
towards meeting the needs of the organizations in terms
of system identification, design and implementation
through a process of interaction and exchange of ideas.
The resource person base of the center consists of

academicians, researches, trainers, experts, government
officials and practitioners from national and
international organizations. They are drawn from the
academic base of IUBAT as well as resource person
base of the university.
CENTER'S COMMITMENTS
The SADMC is thoroughly committed to the long
range goal of establishing itself as a center of
excellence in social sector management. In trying to
strive for such a goal, it envisages development of
expertise in disaster management and environment
areas in the country and the region. The SADMC is
also committed to the idea of becoming a thought
leader in the disaster management and environment not
only within the regional boundary but also to the
international domain.
To provide a lasting impression through its training

programs, the center will develop a number of cases
and will bring out case book on relevant issues in
disaster and environmental programs. One such case
study has been developed on the April, 1991 Cyclone
in Bangladesh. It strongly advocates and pursues the
development of appropriate training materials to bring
relevance, objectivity, and utility of the training
activities. Eventual publication of books, research
monographs, and cases is expected to lend effective
support to such efforts. There is a long-term goal of
developing various courses to produce qualified
manpower in this sector.
There are plans to continue efforts of developing
resource persons through orientation trips, and
participation in training programs, workshops,
seminars, and conferences in the region. The SADMC
will place greater emphasis on conserving and
dissemination to enable a smooth flow and exchange of
ideas and research findings with other centers of
excellence in the pursuit of new knowledge.

COUNSELING AND GUIDANCE CENTRE (CGC)

The university established a Counseling and Guidance Centre under a qualified psychologist to provide counseling and
guidance services to IUBAT students and other personnel. This facility has been broadened through recruitment of two
more qualified psychologists.
The majority of students are young adults. Most of them are yet to recover from adolescence; and poses
a number of problems that calls for solution. Again study in the university posses a different education
environment for most of students coming from the colleges especially from the rural Bangladesh.
Students are accustomed to a bi-annual examination system which allows them plenty of recess and
leisure. IUBAT follows a trimester program with very limited vacation. This directly affects the life style
of students. IUBAT education policy emphasizes a general education in physical, social sciences and
humanities to provide for a solid base on which specialization in different programs are founded. Above
all, the medium of instruction in IUBAT is English. The general students are not well aware of
Mathematics and Computer science. . These are considered necessary to be included in the study
programs ied to keep pace with the academicals standard of the advanced world.
To overcome these problems, counseling and guidance is found to be of great help to the students. It
provides for some ventilation, cathexis, and insight into the problem and encourages a person to view the
problem from different angles, to analyze and understand the problem and attempt its solution. When
needed, psychotherapy in a limited way is also provided.
Strict confidentiality and respect for individual and human values encourage students to take help from
the center. Sometimes, registry or administration also refers students or personnel to the center when
someone faces academic or some behavioral problem. The Counseling and Guidance Center is one of the
facilities and services the university provides for its students, faculty and other personnel.
This Centre also serves as the focal point for promoting gender equality and deal with cases of sexual
harassment, for which IUBAT has an established policy guideline.
COMPUTER EDUCATION AND TRAINING

CENTER (CETC)
BACKGROUND
Computer and information technology are playing

a vital role in development efforts of the modern
society and this role is being accomplished
through extensive use of computers in research
and development activities concerning most
branches of human knowledge, viz, science,
engineering, education, medicine, agriculture,
government, industry and business. But, efficient
use of computer needs appropriate manpower and
environment.
OBJECTIVES
The major objectives are development of

knowledge, skills, technical capabilities and
resource base to facilitate promotion of productive
use of computer and information technology.
These are being realized through teaching,
training, research, consultancy and information
sharing.
ACTIVITY DOMAIN
In Bangladesh, besides environmental difficulties,

the availability of expert knowledge, trained
personnel, technical back-up and information
sharing are major constraints to appropriate use of
computers and development of information
technology. Although the total investment in
computers is substantial in the context of the
limited capital base, the prevalence of computers
are somewhat limited in the country. Computer
capacity utilization in Bangladesh is reported to be
very low in comparison to regional and
international standards, even if the appropriateness
of use is disregarded. In other words, in
Bangladesh, real benefits from the computers are
not being derived.
To improve this situation, IUBAT established a
in 1991. The CETC is geared towards developing
a healthy computer culture and promote
information technology. The CETC is a
component of IUBAT.
In this effort, CETC is received specific technical
support and cooperation from the Regional
Computer Center and Division of Computer
Science of the Asian Institute of Technology
(AIT) Bangkok, Thailand and also support from
other universities collaborating with IUBAT.
The activity domain of CETC is gradually

growing to cover education, training, applied
research, consultancy and documentation. The
present Islamic Development Bank-Bangladesh
Islamic Solidarity Educational Wakf (IDBBISEW) educational domain encompasses a
(DCSE). There are also short training programs in
the areas of programming languages, use of
software packages, operating systems, hardware
maintenance and trouble shooting, Web
applications, server and database administration,
network installation and maintenance. Applied
research contributes to knowledge base
development in Information Technology (IT) in
general and computer applications in particular.
The consultancy and information sharing are basic
support services to the professional and user
community.
EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS
The major educational program is a 5 semester
with specialization in software engineering,
hardware maintenance and trouble shooting,
networking and Web applications. The program
philosophy emphasizes practical orientation with
sufficient theoretical underpinning as obverse to
root learning. The diploma program emphasizes
the following orientation:
adequate knowledge on computer

software and hardware
mathematical skills required for the
understanding and use of computers
adequate training in programming to
make possible the writing and
documenting programs
training in systems analysis and design
application of systems software and
operating system
capability in software design and
development
capability to maintain hardware and
manage trouble shooting
capability to handle affairs related to
networking
ability to design, maintain and hosting
WebPages as well as e-commerce.
A DCSE graduate is developed to be able to fit for

employment in software engineering, systems
design, programming, e-business and database
management, Software Development. Besides,
they have good prospects for employment as
teacher-trainer. The credits earned can also be
applied towards further study in IUBAT and
similar institutions within the country and abroad.
TRAINING PROGRAMS
Poor
computer
performance
in
many
organizations indicates that most computer users
and professionals have inadequate knowledge of
using computers effectively and economically. To
get the proper and beneficial use of computers in
business and other activities, there is no
alternative to well planned and organized
computer training. As computers have a major
effect on employment, productivity and
competitiveness in the real world, CETC is
accepting the challenge of offering systematic,
well planned computer training by highly
educated and devoted faculty.
Training programs qualify participants for
certificates and most programs involve 60 contact
hours spread over 4-6 weeks on part time basis
and 2 weeks on full time basis. Training covers
programming language courses as well as
packaged program courses in modular form. The
short courses are available for Programming C,
C++ (Object Oriented Programming), JAVA/J++,

WebPage Designing and Animation, Macromedia
Flash, PhotoShop, Linux, SQL, ORACLE and
popular packages like MS-Office and SPSS.
APPLIED RESEARCH
Research agenda includes areas like management
information and decision support systems, system
analysis and design, specialized application of
computer in business, impact of computers on
management, society, employment, productivity,
quality of life, privacy, etc. Research will also
cover computer use to establish a benchmark
situation in the country. The center will also
respond to research offers that may be available
from within the country and outside.
CONSULTANCY SERVICES
The introduction of computers in both public and
private sector organizations in Bangladesh as well
as in the region is steadily growing. This gives rise
to the need for independent consultancy services,
which will define system requirements and
supervise implementation. In addition to system
familiarization training, a measure of the
effectiveness of on-going training also demands
consultancy services. Project development
involves requirement of analysis and definition,
system prototype development, implementation,
support and training of the users and support
personnel. CETC puts efforts to develop an
expertise base for offering independent
consultancy services.
DOCUMENTATION AND INFORMATION
To overcome the limited documentation and
information availability in the country, the CETC
will develop a unit on documentation and
information. Besides setting up a library, the unit
will serve as a reference base and promote
information sharing through conferences,
seminars, workshops, newsletters and other
mediums. Appropriate linkages are being
developed with similar educational centers within
the country and outside.

HEALTH AND POPULATION CENTER (HPC)

The Health and Population Center (HPC) is an
unit specifically created for developing manpower
and the generation of knowledge in the area of
health and population sectors for contributing to
improved performance in the national health and
family welfare efforts by translating the
knowledge into an actionable frame of operation.
Its basic purpose is to provide effective support to
the health and population programs in Bangladesh
in particular and health and population issues in
general,
through
research,
manpower
development, advisory services, and development
of appropriate institutional linkages.
OBJECTIVES
The overall objectives of the HPC are the
development of knowledge & manpower in health
and population sectors and the application of such
knowledge in better utilization of the manpower
and resources in increasing the effectiveness of
national efforts in health and population. More
specifically the objectives entail the following:
-Developing conceptual frameworks through
research for understanding basic issues in health
care and family welfare and evolving program
management and operational guidelines and
perspectives.
-Helping to create a cadre of professionals in
health and population through structured courses
of studies.
-Meeting the emergency advisory service needs
for program managers, including client orientated
research and evaluation of program.
-Documenting the diverse and new knowledge
generated at the center and disseminating such
knowledge to various bodies engaged in health
and population program activities through the
documentation and information services.
ACTIVITY FRAME
In order to achieve the objective of the center,
various activities have been identified. The
mainstream activities of research, manpower
development, advisory services, and institutional
linkage development are being pursued. The
center activity frame may be summarized as
follows:
Research
Given the overall objective of the center to
develop knowledge in health and population and
the application of such knowledge in increasing
the effectiveness of national efforts in managing
health and population sectors, the creation of such
knowledge at the center is focused on generic as
well as applied research. In addressing this, the
orientation of research activities in the center has
been following two complementary approaches
which include:
a) developing frameworks for exploration of
basic issues which have bearing on health and
population program management activities and
b) action oriented research to bring about changes
for increasing the efficiency and effectiveness
of the current programs and organizations
Fundamental and basic research is required to
identify the determinants of demand for health and
family planning services and needs as well as to
address issues in cognition and motivation.
The main focus of the action oriented research
activities is to bring about changes for increasing
the efficiency and effectiveness of current health
and population programs.
The research activities of the center are expected
to make a positive impact by bringing about
improved performance and more efficient
utilization of manpower and resources along with
the development of professional norms within the
program activities and goals.
Manpower Development
The manpower development activities in the
center are mainly geared toward the development
of professionals and managers capable of manning
and guiding the country's health care and family
planning efforts through a combination of
structured courses of studies, field visits, and
project work. The emphasis on developing
manpower in the sector stems from the contention
of various quarters that operating as well as
administrative/managerial expertise need to be
substantially enhanced in the context of health and
population sector management in the country.
The government's efforts in the health and
population programs which have grown rather
rapidly in the last decades, involves over one
hundred thousand individuals at various levels of
the organization. The manpower complement had
to be developed very rapidly to shoulder the
responsibilities of vastly expanded program and
did not allow the opportunity for rigorous
selection procedures. The government program
thus employs personnel who need to be developed
into more effective change agents for attaining
program goals.
The involvement of professional managers having

experience in subject matters relating to the
learning objectives of the participants, and the
introduction of field visits to enable the
participants to relate to practices in reality lend
further relevance to the manpower development
program.
The center offer courses, seminars and workshops
on management of health and population issues
for different levels of health and family planning
officials and managers of government, nongovernment and private organizations. The center
will also organize training for professional staff
like nurses, medical assistants, equipment and
laboratory technicians etc. and for nonprofessional personnel like office staff, field
personnel, etc. A list of courses that can be offered
is provided below for illustration.
The center is committed to several activities in the
training domain which include
-
Added to the government program personnel are a

large number of individuals of private enterprises
in health sector and NGOs involved in health and
population activities under the innovative,
experimental and special group based programs.
Then there are the voluntary organizations and
community groups involved in health care and
population activities. They too represent a
significant manpower endeavors to support within
its capability. The manpower in these
organizations also need development.
The center also offers specially tailored courses
for specific clients. Course contents are designed
with particular focus on work environment of
participants and task domain. An innovative
approach that has been introduced is to involve the
participants in miniresearch on problems relating
to their work within the organizations context in
order to develop analytical and decision making
skills. As a result, the sponsoring organization also
derives substantive benefits.
Training needs assessment research

Development of standardized training
materials and modules for social sector
management
Providing training support to other
institutions and programs
Training of trainers
Training of managers of health and
population activities
Training of personnel of health &
population sector
Advisory Services
Effective performance of any program requires,
among other things, a set of well designed and
appropriate management and operating systems, a
group of experts to develop and design these
systems, and a set of capable managers and
operators to operate and maintain these systems
competently. It has been recognized that improved
systems are very much needed in the health and
population sectors for ensuring effective
operations. Although in the recent past, some
attention has been given to enhancing the
capabilities and skills of managers, and operators,
initiatives in developing management and
operating systems are still lacking. Furthermore,
the policy makers, program managers and

operators are so busy with the tasks of day to day
management or operations of the programs that
they have hardly any time for systems
development. It is with this realization that the
center endeavors to provide assistance to policy
makers, program managers and operators through
its advisory services.
The advisory service activities are basically

directed towards meeting the needs of the
organizations in terms of system identification,
design and implementation through a process of
interaction and exchange of ideas. The issues that
are addressed range from evaluation and problem
solving tasks to system development exercises.
Within the overall domain the center takes the

initiative to delineate and propose advisory
services in various areas to obtain reactions of the
managers or operators and to help them shape
their felt needs in more concrete terms.
The center will entertain requests from both
government, non-government and private
organizations for advisory services in areas
including program evaluation, organizational
evaluation, management information system,
personnel appraisal system, staff development
program, project appraisal and evaluation,
financial control mechanism, contraceptive
prevalence survey, supervisory systems in health
and population, among others.
HPC resource person provided advisory services
for two months to the Ministry of Health and
Family Welfare (MHFW) on reorganization of
health and family planning service delivery. The
task involved development of TOR for
Reorganization under the Fourth Health and
Population Project of the World Bank funneled
through the United Nations Fund for Population
Activities (UNFPA).
Institutional Linkage Development
In its institutional linkage development efforts, the
HPC strives to achieve the following with, the
relevant environment :
Participation in government committees

and forums
Participation in activities of other
organizations concerned with health,
population and related sectors
Collaboration with other centers,
institutes, organizations and associations
Information sharing through publication
and communication
Providing
opportunities
to
other
organizations, institutions and individuals
to participate in HPC activities.
Development of professional personnel
Resource Persons
The resource persons base of the center consists of
academicians, researchers, trainers, experts,
government officials and practitioners from
national and international organizations. A list of
academicians is provided in the Faculty section of
the bulletin. Other resource persons are identified
and involved keeping in view the specific task or
project.
CENTER'S COMMITMENTS
The HPC is thoroughly committed to the longrange goal of establishing itself as a center of
excellence in social sector management. In trying
to strive for such a goal it envisages significant
contributions in health and population fields
including primary health care, EPI, community
development, maternal and child health, nutrition,
development of women, etc. The HPC is also
committed to the idea of becoming a thought
leader in the health and population field with
major emphasis on managing the health and
population dilemma not only within the national
boundary but extended to the international
domain.
The center is also the hub for developing
educational programs in health and population
areas at IUBAT. A degree program in nursing has
been developed with assistance of USA, Canada,
Australia and the Netherlands based institutions.
The College of Nursing has been formed and a
Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program is
being offered.
There are plans to continue efforts of developing

resource persons through orientation trips, and
participation in training programs, workshops,
seminars, and conferences in the region. The HPC
will play greater emphasis on conserving and
disseminating the knowledge base through its
publication and documentation section to enable
smooth flow and exchange of ideas and research
findings with other centers of excellence in the
pursuit of new knowledge in the health and
population field.

CENTER FOR MANAGEMENT DEVELOPMENT (CMD)

BACKGROUND
Bangladesh, with a population about 160 million
in an area of 1,47,570 square kilometers, suffers
from low economic growth (6 percent) and severe
unemployment (38 percent). Through successive
revisions of
policies, the Government of
Bangladesh has been trying to promote the
industrial sector. The pace of the industrialization
process has, however, been slow due to a number
of factors, - lack of management development
being the most critical one. Emergence of new
industries is very slow, moreover, established
industries fell sick one after another mainly due to
poor management. The numbers of competent
managers who can develop management systems
and effectively manage operations are very
inadequate.
The numbers of institutions those are engaged in
developing managerial manpower in the country
are very few and can not cope with the country's
need. Considering the huge demand for qualified
management staff, the IUBAT has set up the
Center for Management Development (CMD) in
1991. The CDM has been contributing a
significant role to fulfill the needs for
management development in the country as well
as in this region.
The activity domain includes career-oriented
educational programs, executive development
courses at senior, mid and supervisory levels,
functional
and activity related courses,
workshops, consultancy and applied research
activities. Very recently the CDM has introduced
Faculty Development and Training Course under
joint collaboration with Osmania University,
Hyderabad, India.

knowledge, so that these can effectively contribute
to the industrial, social and economic
development of the country.

the effectiveness of the organization;
assist managers, through consultancy
services, in decision making, preparation
and implementation of plans and
programs to improve the quality of
management;
promote innovation and application of
management principles and techniques
through research, experimentation, and
exchange of ideas;

development institutions throughout the
country, the region and at international
level by establishing linkages to share
experiences to improve management
effectiveness.

CENTER FOR TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH

TRAINING AND CONSULTANCY (CTRTC)
Centre for Technology Research Training and
Consultancy (CTRTC) was formed in the
beginning of 1997. The present position and
strength of the Centre are such that it is able to
deliver consultancy services for almost any
project of any magnitude. It is also capable to
train-up young professionals to make them
suitable for their respective jobs and conduct
research works on building technology.
CTRTC is an application wing of the College of
Engineering and Technology [CEAT]. The
College of Engineering and Technology (CEAT)
offers bachelor degree programs in engineering
and computer science. Also included in the area of
computer is a Diploma Program which is offered
under the Computer Education and Training
Center (CETC) of IUBAT. The College has the
objective of producing professionals who would
apply knowledge of science and mathematics to
solve real world problems. The CEAT programs
are directed towards preparing students with solid
foundations to face a challenging life and enjoying
a rewarding career in the society undergoing
continuous technological changes.
BACKGROUND
CTRTC was initiated as a design cell for the design of
the designing of the permanent campus of IUBAT with
one senior architect as advisor on voluntary basis and a
full-time salaried draftsman in early 1995 after
Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripaksa (RAJUK), on principle,
agreed to allot a plot of land for housing the university
at Uttara Model Town, Dhaka. Design work for
campus development started in late 1994 jointly with
Architect Raziuddin Ahmad, the local architectural
advisor, and Mr. Miles Danby, Professor Emeritus,
University of New Castle Upon Tyne, an advisor
seconded by British Executive Services Overseas
(BESO), England. Necessity for more man-power was
felt, so, one diploma architect and a diploma engineer
(civil) were appointed. A separate space was arranged
and the necessary instrument, equipment and other
materials were procured to run its activities. At this
stage it was felt that a center might be given its
appropriate shape.
ACTIVITIES TO DATE
CTRTC has successfully carried out the Physical
Development Plan of IUBAT permanent campus
at Uttara with a 15 years developed perspective
involving professional education and training of a
student body of 9000. As a part of this plan,
CTRTC has developed the architectural plan for
the 1st 15 storied building of IUBAT and got
approval from RAJUK for the construction of the
first phase of this building covering 6 floors,
including the design work.
CTRTC undertook the task of construction of this
building involving all the related work of soil
testing, site development, pile foundation work,
earth filling, sourcing of materials, procurement,
direct construction and supervision. The center is
now fully engaged in the expansion of this
building and development of the permanent
campus. The experience being gained is being
passed on to other construction work of the
university as well as other organizations and
individuals who may be interested in availing
building services on a professional basis.
The center is also designed two residential
buildings at Uttara Model Town as a part of its
widening service base.
The CTRTC has also been actively providing
quality consultancy services to its clients. In 2005,
it provided two contract package consultancy
services to the Dhaka City Corporation. Package
1 was on Widening & Beautification of the
Airport Road from Banani Rail Crossing to
North Side of Mohakhali Flyover and Package 2
was on Widening & Beautification of Airport
Road from West Side of Mohakhali to
Sonargaon Intersection Excluding Mohakhali
Flyover Section. The services included
preparation of designs and bidding documents,
top supervision, conducting all surveys
(topographic, traffic, pavement condition, and
drainage), preparation of detailed engineering
designs and bidding documents including
engineering estimates and bills of quantities,
preparation of plans and specifications for civil

works components, preparation of bills of
quantities and pre tender estimates, preparation
of bidding documents, bid evaluation and
presentation on drawing and design to different
authorities of DCC and Government of
Bangladesh.

students reading capability.
CENTER FOR POLICY RESEARCH (CPR)

INTRODUCTION:
The overall mission of IUBAT calls for creation of
knowledge conducive to socio-agro-economic
upliftment of developing societies in general and that of
Bangladesh in particular. In keeping with this mission,
IUBAT is expected to engage in research geared
towards development of the country in multiple
dimensions. IUBAT should act as a catalytic agent for
change and reform to bring welfare to the teeming
million of the country.
The above perspective led to the establishment of a
Center for Policy Research (CPR) with active support
and involvement of the Simon Fraser University (SFU),
Vancouver, Canada. This is reflected in the execution
of a specific memorandum of understanding between
SFU and IUBAT with the intent to encourage faculty
and students of the two universities to participate in the
activities of the CPR.
OBJECTIVE
The mandate for the CPR is to produce accessible
bilingual monographs (in Bengali and English) on
major issues bearing on economic, social and business
development in Bangladesh and, in addition, to
undertake related activities which may include
organizing seminars and hosting visiting scholars.
ACTIVITY DOMAIN
The CPR proposes to examine a broad range of
public policies relevant to the economic development
of Bangladesh. Without being exhaustive, the
following are areas of potential study:
Inadequate quality of basic services: The quality

of many publicly supplied services is inadequate.
These inadequacies are subject to wide public
discussion but to little thorough analysis.
Example include erratic provision of electric
power, lack of accountability of primary and
secondary school teachers to parents and
unacceptably high drop out rates among school
children, and irregular urban waste disposal. The
center could document problems in detail, and
propose options based on best practices in other
developing countries.
Environmental degradation: This has many
aspects and solutions are complex in an
overpopulated poor country. Bangladesh is
losing up to one percent of its forested area per
year, and poaching is a problem in forest

reserves in the Sundorban. The water table is
subject to pollution.
Fiscal policy: Studies could summarize the
relevant issues surrounding budgeting priorities
and compare with best practices elsewhere. For
example, too much goes to the military; too
much tax revenue depends on import duties with
attendant economic distortions and difficulties of
customs.
Regulatory reform: Many individuals and
business leaders express frustration with the
extensive and arbitrary nature of government
regulation. To make progress on this subject
requires meticulous examination of what actually
takes place in particular areas, and discussion of
proposals for reform.
Institutional reform: Bangladesh does not have
an effectively functioning system of local
government. Over the last decade several options
have been put forward. The center could
realistically assess advantages and disadvantages
of each.
OPERATIONAL PERSPECTIVE
The CPR is expected to contribute to public
understanding of major contemporary policy issues in
Bangladesh by publishing a series of monographs.
CPR could also undertake other policy-related
activities, such as well focused seminars and training.
In effect, CPR could perform some of the functions
of independent policy institutes. Over the last
generation, such policy institutes have become
important catalysts for generating intelligent public
policy discussion in western countries.
Doing this well is not easy. Though policy institutes
deal with issues subject to partisan debate, it is
integral to their mandate that such institutes be
independent of any political party. The monographs
published must be objective and rigorous but, at the
same time, they must be accessible to a broad range
of potentially interested people: business executives,
senior civil servants, academics and senior journalists.
Central to the activity of CPR must be establishment
of an efficient distribution system capable of reaching
the target audience.
The independence is sought through creating a
supervisory board of 4-5 persons with the ability to
judge suitability of potential topics for analysis and
the suitability of potential authors. This group would

also need to adjudicate the quality of work written. It
would sanction any particular seminar to be
organized. A Management Committee of 4 persons
with an Advisor has been established to provide
guidance to CPR.
of major contemporary public policy issues facing the

society.
Probably, most monographs would be written by

individuals outside IUBAT. They would prepare
their monographs on a contractual basis. Of
necessity, compensation would be at a much
lower level than for professional consultancy.
Occasionally, monographs could be of book
length, but most would be much - 20-30 pages in
length.
CPR organized a Roundtable on Natural Gas Options

for Bangladesh on Tuesday, February 20, 2001 at the
Conference Room of IDB Bhaban, Sher-e-Bangla
Nagar, Dhaka. Prof Dr John Richards, Professor,
Simon Fraser University, Canada and Member, IUBAT
International Advisory Council and Dr Mujibur
Rahman Khan, Professor, College of Engineering and
Technology, IUBAT jointly led the roundtable and Prof
Dr M Alimullah Miyan, Vice-Chancellor and Founder
of IUBAT presided over the roundtable.
Writers could include academics and

independent experts living in Bangladesh,
Bangladeshis living and working abroad, and
occasionally foreigners who could bring a useful
comparative perspective.
A crucial resource in monograph preparation is copy
editing. Frequently, experts engaged to write on a
subject lack the writing skills to render their reports in
clear, readable English. This may be a particularly
acute problem in this country, since English is the
second language. The use of electronic mail would
enable some of this editing to be conducted abroad
without undue delay.
ACTIVITIES TO DATE
The Management Committee has deliberated on the
mandate of CPR in the short, medium and long run and
came out with some modus operandi of operation. The
center shall carry out studies and research on major
socio-economic policies facing Bangladesh society
leading to publication of monographs, background
papers, occasional papers, monthly magazines and
books. Initially, the center should publish only two
monographs per year, which may gradually increase.
A certificate course on Social Policy Analysis has been
conducted. Another certificate course on Women in
Development has been offered for officials of the
Ministry of Women Affairs of the Government of
Bangladesh.
The center is involved in the process of gradually
evolving its activity domain in order to contribute to the
overall mission of the university for welfare of people
of Bangladesh by contributing to public understanding
SEMINAR, DIALOGUES AND ROUNDTABLES

Roundtable on Natural Gas Options for Bangladesh
Seminar on Natural Gas Use
CPR organized a Seminar on Natural Gas Use

on Saturday, February 24, 2001 at the
Auditorium of Academy for Planning and
Development, Nilkhet, Dhaka. Prof Dr John
Richards and Dr Mujibur Rahman Khan,
Professor, College of Engineering and
Technology, IUBAT jointly led the seminar and
the Vice-Chancellor of IUBAT presided over the
seminar.
Perspective of Natural Gas Use Dialogue
with the Media
CPR organized a Dialogue with the Media on
Perspective of Natural Gas Use on Thursday,
March 1, 2001 at the Conference Hall of
National Press Club, Dhaka. Prof Dr John
Richards and Member, IUBAT International
Advisory Council and Dr Mujibur Rahman
Khan, Professor, College of Engineering and
Technology, IUBAT jointly led the dialogue and
the Vice-Chancellor of IUBAT presided over.
Roundtable on Gas for Electrification
CPR has released a report on natural gas policy
for Bangladesh. A group of experts at a
roundtable discussed the report on Tuesday, 20th
February, 2001.
The report recommends a five-year moratorium
on all gas exports: The moratorium would give
the government time to establish priorities for
domestic use of natural gas, say the authors.

They conclude that rapid electrification of
Bangladesh should have the highest priority as
use for the natural gas.
The authors are Dr. Mujibur Rahman Khan,
Professor Mark Jaccard and Professor John
Richards. Dr. Khan is a professor at IUBAT and
former Director General of the Bangladesh
Geological Survey. Mark Jaccard and John
Richards teach at Simon Fraser University, in
Vancouver, Canada. Professor Jaccard is a
former chairman of the British Columbia
Utilities Commission, the agency responsible for
regulating the power and natural gas industries
in this Canadian province.
The authors discuss three options for using
natural gas in Bangladesh:
exporting gas to provide government

revenues for development needs;
expanding rapidly all end-uses (such as
fertilizer production and residential
distribution);
concentrating use of gas on accelerated
electrification.
The study congratulates the Rural Electrification

Board (REB) and its network of cooperatives
the Palli Biddyut Samitees (PBSs) for their
accomplishments, but calls on them to do more.
The study recommends that the REB rapidly
expand its present power generation activities by
enabling many gas-powered turbines to be built
throughout those areas of the country where gas
is accessible by pipeline.
Some of this expansion the REB could finance,
but it will also require a larger role for
independent power producers. In turn, this will
require development of an effective regulatory
commission by the government.
The REB distributes nearly a quarter of all
electricity consumed in Bangladesh, to over
30,000 villages. Along with the Power
Development Board (PDB) and the Dhaka
Electric Supply Authority (DESA), the REB is
one of the major power distribution agencies.
The study analyses the barriers to improved
electrical service in Bangladesh.
Load Shedding
The report concludes that electrification is probably the

most important option. As evidenced by the
continuous load shedding, even in Dhaka, an
inadequate supply of electricity is, without a doubt, a
major constraint on economic growth in Bangladesh.
Rural Electrification Dialogue with the Media

CPR organized a Rural Electrification Dialogue
with the Media on August 22, 2002 at the
Conference Room of National Press Club.
On the occasion CPR released its second
monograph
on
Electricity
for
All:
Electrification and Development in Rural
Bangladesh, a new study on rural electrification.
The authors are Mr. Nuruddin Kamal, former
Chairman
of
the
Bangladesh
Power
Development Board, Ms. Rose Murphy,
Research Associate, School of Resource and
Environmental Management of Simon Fraser
University in Vancouver, Canada, and Professor
John Richards.
During the 1990s, the generating capacity of the

Power Development Board did not increase as
fast as the demand by connected customers. The
solution was to curtail demand in particular
regions of the country. At its most severe, in
1997, load shedding occurred, somewhere in the
country, on nearly every day of the year.
Since 1998, new capacity has become available;
more new projects are under construction and
others are in the planning stage. Load shedding
has diminished. Nonetheless, generating
capacity is very low and load shedding has
discouraged rural customers from seeking power
connections. At present, among those in rural
areas, only about one in seven has access to
electricity.
Operating Inefficiency
Historically, the PDB has not achieved

satisfactory productivity. Bangladesh requires
more employees per customer served than in

most other developing countries.
large domestic market for natural gas within

Bangladesh and make export an unattractive
option.
System Loss
System loss is the difference between electricity

generated and electricity for which electrical
utilities bill customers. System loss in
Bangladesh is approximately 30 percent, which
is highest among developing countries in Asia.
Some loss arises for technical reasons, but much
is due to administrative inefficiencies and
corruption of the billing process.
Among the three major utilities distributing
electricity in Bangladesh the REB, PDB, and
DESA the REB experiences by far the lowest
system loss. Unlike other public sector power
agencies, REB employees are paid according to
productivity; hiring and firing are based on
merit. As a consequence of superior
management, the REB has created trust among
its customers and employees.
If generating capacity is to increase at a faster

rate then current plans suggest, it will require
more investment by private producers. In turn, a
more rapid expansion of the private power sector
will require an appropriate regulatory
commission.
A regulatory commission will have a complex
task. On the one hand, private power producers
will not invest significantly unless they have
reasonable assurance that the regulatory
commission will enable them to set tariffs
adequate to recover costs, and that the bill
collecting process will be reliable. On the other
hand, a regulatory commission must assure users
of electricity that private power producers will
perform reliably, and that they will not charge
unduly high rates to their customers.
Roundtable on Rural Electrification
Tariff Structure
At present, the combination of high system loss

and present tariff structure do not allow the
power sector to cover overall operating costs and
set aside adequate funds for expansion and
maintenance of capacity. The PDB calls on the
Government to provide external finance to cover
its deficit, and investment needs. This diverts
government revenues from other vital activities,
such as funding of education and health.
Bangladesh has natural gas reserves. These are
the only large scale commercially accessible
energy source available within the country. It is
vital to use this resource carefully.
The two major reports published by the CPR
Natural Gas Options for Bangladesh released in
2001, and Electricity for All released on 22nd
August, 2002 have proposed a five-year
moratorium on the decision about natural gas
exports by pipeline. During this time, the reports
propose that the Government place a high
priority on major expansion of power
generation, particularly in rural areas. An
expanded electricity market would provide a
The CPR conducted a roundtable on rural

electrification among academics, officials, and others
interested in this important matter on August 25, 2002
at IDB Bhaban, Dhaka. State Minister, Power Division,
Ministry of Power, Energy & Mineral Resources,
Government of the Peoples Republic of Bangladesh
was the Chief Guest of the roundtable. Prof Dr John
Richards and Mr Nuruddin M Kamal, Senior Research
fellow, CPR, IUBAT jointly led the roundtable. State
Minister, Power Division, Ministry of Power, Energy &
Mineral Resources, Government of the Peoples
Republic of Bangladesh was the Chief Guest of the
roundtable. The Vice-Chancellor of IUBAT presided
over.
Issues discussed in the roundtable included the
following:
1. Need for a nonpartisan regulatory commission in
the power sector
A reasonable target for rural electrification is

that the average Bangladeshi family have access
to 1000 kwh annually within ten years. To
achieve this target will require a doubling of
present generating capacity. Some increase can
be financed by the PDB and the REB, but it will
also require a much greater role for private

independent power producers (IPPs).
A credible regulatory commission is necessary if
significant IPP investment is to take place.
Such a commission has a complex task. It must
be nonpartisan and credible among both
customers and producers. It must assure
customers that IPPs perform adequately and do
not charge unduly high tariffs. On the other
hand, IPPs will not invest without reasonable
assurance that the tariff rates will allow them to
recover costs, and that the billing process will
not be corrupted.
The goal of these projects is to reduce system

loss by removing corruption in the billing
process. Also, a new regulatory commission
should exercise authority to revise the PDB
tariffs including the rate at which it sells power
to the REB in order to reduce and ultimately
eliminate the financial deficit of the PDB. This
would provide the PDB with a financial surplus
that would enable it to expand capacity without
drawing on government revenues.
These reforms are controversial: they require
increased productivity of PDB employees, an
end to corrupt billing practices, and higher
tariffs for many customers.
2. Extending activities of REB and PBSs to include

many power generation experiments.
The roundtable addressed the problems of present

power system in Bangladesh.
The REB/PBS network has played a highly

significant role in the last 25 years. It has a good
record of administration, and has thereby created
trust among its workers and customers.
PUBLIC LECTURES
The REB has sponsored some small generation

projects but it should undertake more ambitious
experiments. An interesting strategy is to enable
viable PBSs to undertake within the fence
IPPs.
A major problem for the REB is the frequency
of load shedding and voltage variability in the
power purchased from the national grid supplied
by the PDB. A strategy to solve this problem is
to enable viable PBSs to enter into contracts
with IPPs to generate power for customers
independent of the national grid. All such
customers would be within the fence obtaining
their power from the IPP. There is a large
potential for such experiments, based on small
gas-turbine generators.
3. Reform of the PDB
For several years, projects have been underway

to reform the PDB. Many of these projects imply
unbundling of the PDB, which is a very large
agency, into smaller more easily manageable
corporations
with
more
managerial
independence from the government.
Public Lecture on Rural Electrification

A Public Lecture on Rural Electrification was
organized at Planning Academy, Dhaka on
August 29, 2002. The Minister of Industries,
Government of Bangladesh was present as the
Chief Guest. Other speakers were Nuruddin
Kamal, Senior Research Fellow, CPR and
Professor John Richards. The Vice-Chancellor
of IUBAT chaired the lecture.
The CPR recently released a study on
electrification (Electricity for All: Electrification
and Development in Bangladesh). The
recommendation of the study is to use available
gas reserves to increase the generating capacity
of Bangladesh Power Section. For significant
increase in capacity will require significant
reform in power sector. The speakers discussed
on three important reforms.
1. A credible nonpartisan regulatory com-mission in
the power sector
A reasonable target for rural electrification is

that the average Bangladeshi family has access
to 1000 kwh annually within ten years. To
achieve this target will require a doubling of
present generating capacity with a much greater
role for private independent power producers

(IPPs).
For the last two years, Transparency
International has rated Bangladesh as the
country having the most corrupt public sector.
The current level of corruption is extremely
damaging to all aspects of Bangladesh society
and economy. In this environment, no
significant IPP investment will occur.
A necessary precondition for IPP investment is
creation of a regulatory commission with a
credible political mandate to be nonpartisan and
to combat corruption.
Such a commission must assure customers that
IPPs perform adequately, that they provide
service without expectations of baksheesh
(Kickback), and do not charge unduly high
tariffs. On the other hand, IPPs require
reasonable assurance that the tariff rates will
allow them to recover costs, and that the billing
process will not be corrupted by dishonest meter
readers and local politicians.
2. Extending activities of REB and PBSs to include
many power generation experiments.
The REB/PBS network has played a highly

positive role in the last 25 years. It has avoided
the corruption that has characterized the PDB
and DESA, and has thereby created trust among
its workers and customers.
The REB has sponsored some small generation
projects; it should undertake more ambitious
experiments in power generation. An interesting
strategy is to encourage successful PBSs to
undertake within the fence IPPs. These would
be small gas-powered turbines, owned and
financed by private investors, selling their power
exclusively to customers within a small group of
PBSs.
All such customers would be within the fence,
obtaining their power from the IPP. These
customers might pay a higher tariff but would
enjoy uninterrupted access. There is probably a
large potential for such small-scale gas turbine
power plants in Bangladesh.
3. Reform of the PDB
For the last decade, projects have been

underway to reform the PDB. Many of these
projects imply unbundling of the PDB, a very
large agency, into smaller more easily
manageable corporations with more managerial
independence from the government. One goal is
to reduce system loss by removing corruption in
the billing process.
A new regulatory commission should exercise
authority to revise the PDB tariffs including
the rate at which it sells power to the REB in
order to reduce and ultimately eliminate the
financial deficit of the PDB. This would provide
the PDB with a financial surplus that would
enable it to expand capacity without drawing on
government revenues.
These reforms are controversial: they require
increased productivity of PDB employees, an end to
corrupt billing practices, and higher tariffs for many
customers. These reforms will not be publicly
acceptable unless they are accompanied with an
improved quality of power service.
Speakers at the lecture also summarized the present
problems of the power sector in terms of load shedding,
operating inefficiency, system loss and inappropriate
tariff structure. Discussants from the floor suggested
remial measures to overcome the inefficiencies of the
power sector.
The Chief Guest of the public lecture highlighted the
need for investment in power sector and the desire of
the government to share the benefit of electricity with
the people in rural Bangladesh. The Minister
appreciated the role of IUBAT in conducting research
on public policy in cooperation with overseas partners.
He expressed the view that such research and sharing of
recommendations through different forums will
improve the quality of public services in Bangladesh.
Roundtable on Privatization in Bangladesh
The CPR organized a Roundtable on

Privatization in Bangladesh on Thursday,
August 28, 2010 at the CIRDAP Auditorium,
Dhaka. Prof Dr John Richards and Member,
IUBAT International Advisory Council led the
roundtable. Minister of the Ministry of
Commerce, Government of Bangladesh graced

the roundtable as the Chief Guest. Chairman
(Minister of State), Privatization Commission,
GOB was the Special Guest and the ViceChancellor of IUBAT presided over the
roundtable.
Dialogue and Publication Ceremony of Energy
Policy for Bangladesh
CPR organized a dialogue and publication ceremony of
its 3rd monograph on Energy Policy for Bangladesh on
August 16, 2004 at the CIRDAP Auditorium, Dhaka.
Dr John Richards led the ceremony. Minister for
Education, Government of the Peoples Republic of
Bangladesh graced the program as the Chief Guest.
State Minister for Energy and Mineral Resources,
Government of Bangladesh was the Special Guest. The
Vice-Chancellor of IUBAT presided over the program.
It has been observed that the number of children

attending school in Bangladesh has increased
dramatically since 1990 but still a large number
of primary-aged children numbering around 2.5
million do not attend school. Since 1990, the
number of primary school students has risen by
50 percent. The number of students in secondary
school has risen by nearly threefold. Another
accomplishment is that the enrolment rate
among girls is now equal to that for boys in both
primary (grades 1 5) and secondary (grades 6
10). However, this achievement is muddled by
serious problem of school quality.
The survey in Uttara illustrated some of the
problems in school quality:
Dialogue with the Media

CPR organized a Dialogue with the Media on Energy
Policy for Bangladesh on Saturday, August 21, 2004 at
the Conference Room of National Press Club, Dhaka.
Dr John Richards led the roundtable and the ViceChancellor of IUBAT presided over the same.
Roundtable on What Parents Think of Their

Childrens Schools
The CPR organized a roundtable on What

Parents Think of Their Childrens Schools on
May 21, 2007 at the Conference Hall of IUBAT.
Dr John Richards led the roundtable and the
Vice-Chancellor of IUBAT presided over the
same.
CPR Dialogue with Media on Primary
Education
On the occasion of the publication of its 4th
research monograph, the CPR organized a
dialogue with the media at the Dhaka Reporters
Unity on May 22, 2007. The Dialogue was led
by Dr John Richards and moderated by the
university Vice-Chancellor.
The monograph title is What Parents Think of
Their Childrens Schools and incorporates the
findings of a research conducted among the
parents in the Uttara suburb.
Among parents in both Government and

BRAC non-formal schools, over half were
concerned with the quality of teachers.
These concerns were far less among
parents whose children attended private
schools or madrasas.
Poor school management was a perceived
problem among over half the parents whose
children attend Government schools.
School management is not perceived as a
problem among parents with children in
non-formal or private schools, or madrasas.
The key problems identified within the primary

education system are:
Over centralized control of schools (for

example, excessive rigidity of school
curriculum);
Weak local school management and
inadequate role for parent participation,
exacerbated by political interference;
Poor quality of teaching;
Inadequate school infrastructure and
learning material;
Severe poverty among some families, which
serves as a barrier to accessing education.
The study pointed to three broad strategies for

overcoming problems in the primary education
sector. The first is to replace the current
government stipend program with a selective
school voucher programme. The voucher system
may reduce abuse found in the current

government stipend programme and has the
potential of promoting competition among
different types of schools based on quality. The
second strategy is to transfer meaningful power
over education policy from central authority and
Members of Parliament to elected regional or
local councils. Such a decentralization through
community involvement and supervision may
have a positive impact on educational quality.
The third strategy is to reform teacher training to
stress active teaching techniques. Presently,
most teachers in most schools use rote learning
techniques. However, modern approach of
active environment of student participation
through dynamic classroom activities like
student physical exercise, signing, drawing and
dancing will improve the quality of education.
The Dialogue proposed an agenda for action:
1. Minimum quality standards in all school
streams
- Shared core curriculum
- Minimum standards for school facilities
and teachers
- Use of tests in core competencies
2. Major decentralization of authority over
budgets, hiring and firing of teachers
- Elimination of MP role in school
management committees
- Rules-based allocation of budgets to
upazila authorities
- Professionalism of school inspectors
3. Increase in education share of national
budget
(All CPR monographs are available free on line
at http://www.iubat.edu/cpr)
It was observed that education is a key factor in
the development of Bangladesh. Success has
been realized in improving the quantity of and
access to primary education, yet the policy
question remains, how best to improve the
quality of primary education. Among others,
establishing a school system that is accountable
and schools that focus on learning outcomes is
imperative.
Uttara Community Dialogue on What
Parents Think of Their Childrens Schools
CPR organized an Uttara Community Dialogue

on What Parents Think of Their Childrens
Schools: A Survey of School Quality Among
Parents in Uttara on Wednesday, May 23, 2007
at the Conference Hall of IUBAT. The dialogue
was a follow-up of publication of the 4th
monograph of CPR. Through this dialogue CPR
shared findings and exchange community views
on the findings. Dr John Richards led the
dialogue. The Vice-Chancellor, Sher-E-Bangla
Nagar Agricultural University, Dhaka was the
Chief Guest and the Vice-Chancellor of IUBAT
presided over the dialogue.
Dialogue and Launching Ceremony of the
Monograph on Barriers to Girls Secondary School
Participation in Rural Bangladesh
CPR organized a dialogue and publication

ceremony of its 5th research monograph at the
VIP Lounge of the National Press Club on
August 29, 2007. The presentation was led by
Dr John Richards and moderated by the
university Vice-Chancellor. Ms Rasheda Akhtar
Khanam, Member, Executive Committee,
Women for Women was the designated
commentator. The ceremony had participation
from the academia, journalists and women
organization.
The monograph titled Barriers to Girls
Secondary School Participation in Rural
Bangladesh has been authored by Jenifer Hove,
Visiting Fellow to IUBAT from Canada.
Prof John Richards in his presentation on the
monograph observed that over the last 15 years,
the number of secondary school students in
Bangladesh has nearly tripled. The enrolment
rate in grades 6 to 10 among 11 15 year old
children is now about 50 percent. The increase
among girls has been particularly remarkable.
There remain however serious problems:
relatively few girls are completing their studies.
Among 100 girls who enter grade 6 only about
14 are achieving a SSC. The completion rate for
boys is also low. Among 100 boys who enter
grade 6, about 20 are achieving a SSC.
The monograph is based on interviews

conducted (focus groups) with parents, teachers,
enrolled students, and students who have
abandoned their studies. These interviews were
conducted in four schools in Manikganj district.
Her study analyses the reasons that girls
abandon their studies and proposes reforms to
the Female Stipend Programme (FSP) that may
reduce drop out among girls.
In 1994, Bangladesh introduced the Female Stipend

Program (FSP), a nationwide policy aimed at
encouraging rural girls to attend secondary school.
The FSP provides monthly stipends and free tuition
to eligible families. It has been instrumental in raising
enrolment rates among rural girls.
The factors that cause some girls to stop attending

school can be categorised as the push out effects
related to poor school quality and the pull out effects
of poverty, family and social pressures. This study
reviews girls education policies in Bangladesh and
recent assessments of the FSP. It also includes an
analysis of key education indicators.
Interview responses reveal a number of factors
determining probability of a student dropping out:
The difficulty experienced by many students in

meeting the required minimum 45 percent
marks (a condition of the FSP);
The importance of private tutoring to achieve
the stipend minimum mark requirements and
learning goals in general;
The impact of poverty, including the inability
to afford private tutoring and devote the
necessary time on studies;
Family characteristics, including size and low
parental education levels.
These issues illustrate that many of the barriers to

girls secondary school participation stem from low
socio-economic condition. In assessing policies to
encourage girls completion of secondary school,
this study focuses on disadvantaged girls rather
than all rural girls. The policy options assessed are
as follows:
Status Quo: this option, to continue the FSP in

its current incarnation, is a benchmark from
which to compare the other policies.
Lower FSP Performance Requirement: this
second option maintains all features of the
current FSP with the exception of the
performance requirement related to exam

marks. The minimum marks threshold is
reduced from 45 to 40 percent in half-yearly
and annual exams.
Target the FSP: this third option also reduces
the minimum requirement to 40 percent marks,
but modifies programme eligibility to target
the 30 percent poorest rural girls enrolled, with
regional variation based on poverty maps,
female illiteracy and enrolment/attendance
rates. Community-based targeting is utilized,
along with clear inclusion indicators and
simple family questionnaires to document
poverty status. Selection of recipients is
conducted by headteachers and SMCs, in
conjunction with local NGOs that target poor
families.
Target the FSP Plus Instructional Support:
this last option is the same as option three, but
is supplemented by the provision of
instructional support through peer-tutoring.
Both girls who have graduated from secondary
school and girl students enrolled in higher
grades are to be trained as peer tutors to
provide instructional support to stipend
beneficiaries.
To analyse how well each option is likely to retain

disadvantaged girls in secondary studies, the
following criteria are used: 1) impact on school
access, 2) impact on girls learning achievements, 3)
impact on overall school improvements, 4) financial
sustainability of the programme cost by the
Bangladesh government, and 5) response of
concerned interest groups. Based on an assessment
using these criteria, the study recommends that the
FSP introduce poverty-targeted eligibility conditions,
while also providing instructional support to stipend
recipients to mitigate their difficulty in affording
private tutoring. Monitoring and evaluation are
crucial to ensuring financial sustainability, effective
targeting and overall success of the policy.
The designated commentator Ms Akhter made
extensive comments on the monograph and
congratulated the author and CPR for making an
important contribution to women empowerment in
Bangladesh. The open floor discussions from a well
attended audience followed the comments. In his
Presidentail speech Prof Miyan pointed to the multifaced role of girls education ranging from reduction in
birth rate, to repression on women. The publication can

Dialogue and Launching Ceremony of A new

Mandate for the Rural Electrification Board
CPR launched the monograph A New Mandate

for the Rural Electrification Board: Area-Based
Planning Initiatives to Relieve Power Shortages
in a ceremony arranged at the Conference Room
of Dhaka Reporters Unity on Thursday August
14, 2008.
The monograph has been co-authored by Dr
John Richards, Mr B D Rahamatullah, Director,
Training, Rural Electrification Board and Ms
Nancy Norris, SFU, Canada. The ViceChancellor of IUBAT presided over the function
attended by cross section of people including
experts in the energy sectors and resource
persons.
Dialogue and Launching Ceremony of Improving

Nutritional Status for Women in Low-Income
Households
Mr B D Rahamatullah unwrapped the

monograph. Mr Rahamatullah who gathered
extensive experience all through his long
association with the power sector development
shared that area based planning initiatives for
rural electrification is a definite viable option, if
implemented, would yield maximum output in
liberating the country people from hazardous
power shortage. Mr Rahmatullah in his speech
highlighted the background of the new
monograph which they co-authored and
projected different problems in the operational
filed giving details of working methodology
being exercised. He hoped that the new
monograph released will bring grater dynamism
in all functionaries improving working and
supply condition.
The monograph reports the nutritional status of a

sample of nearly 600 women surveyed in two sites,
one rural and one urban. The rural site is a group of
villages near Jamalpur; the urban site is a slum in
Uttara, in the Dhaka metropolitan area. Malnutrition
among women is a serious problem in Bangladesh as
in many developing countries. Protein-energy
malnutrition, iron deficiency anaemia, and vitamin A
deficiency are common. Malnutrition is a major cause
of the high maternal mortality rate in Bangladesh, a
rate second only to Nepal among South Asian
countries. Malnutrition passes from one generation to
the next as malnourished mothers give birth to
malnourished children. There
exist regional
differences in the health and nutritional status of
women. Generally, people living in the slums
of Dhaka region consume more calories than those
living in slums elsewhere. Among an earlier study
undertaken by the nursing college at IUBAT of women
living in a Uttara slum, about 12 per cent did
not have adequate calorie intake in their diet to
achieve a body mass index (BMI) above the
traditional threshold of 18.5. Other studies have found
more than 20 per cent of slum women in Dhaka
suffering a BMI below 18.5.
Prof Richards in his speech dissertated the

present status-quo of power sector in
Bangladesh, problems and prospects, feasibility
of area based planning option on the basis of
research findings and recommended that REB
requires sustainable legislation, initiation of
captive power projects, more investment in
distributed generation capacity, overcome
managerial difficulties and should explore the
potential of obtaining financing for renewable
energy projects to surpass power shortage in the
country.
The CPR launched the monograph on Improving

Nutritional Status for Women in Low Income
Households through a dialogue and launching
ceremony organized at the VIP Lounge of National
Press Club, Dhaka.
The objective of this study is to provide policy advice
to improve the nutritional status of low-income
women in Bangladesh. While some suffer from
inadequate
calorie
intake,
the
major nutritional problem is inadequate consumption
of protein and micronutrients.
Based on the study findings, the monograph

recommends some cost effective policy options to
address key nutritional problems
COMPLETION OF RESEARCH
Natural Gas Options
The CPR conducted research and published its first
monograph on Natural Gas Options for Bangladesh in
2001was authored by Professor Mark Jaccard, Dr
Mujibur Rahman Khan and Prof Dr John Richards.
This monograph explores three options for how
Bangladesh might use its natural gas endowment:
exporting gas to provide public revenues that could be
directed to many other development needs; expanding
the many possible end-uses for gas in domestic industry,

agriculture and households; or concentrating natural gas
use on accelerated electrification. After assessing the
three options, the authors conclude that rapid
electrification should have the highest priority.
Bangladesh, plus a series of practical reforms to

improve its performance and, in particular, reforms to
accelerate rural electrification.
In addition, the monograph discusses Institutional

reforms to foster private investment and to
improve the transparency, efficiency and
consistency
of
government
corporations,
ministries and agencies. There is an important
case to be made for integrated resource planning
that includes environmental and social objectives.
In May 2004, the Government of Bangladesh released a

draft National Energy Policy, and invited public
commentary. The government report acknowledges the
serious shortcomings of present policy and the
dilemmas in designing new policy.
Research on Rural Electrification

Research on rural electrification was carried out under
the Centre for Policy Research as a joint venture
between IUBAT and Simon Fraser University (SFU),
Vancouver, Canada. The research was initiated in 2001
and one staff member from SFU spend the summer of
2001 at IUBAT as a visiting research fellow to conduct
the field research. This collaborative research resulted
in preparation of a report and publication of a
monograph under the title of Electricity for All:
Electrification and Development in Rural Bangladesh
under the authorship of Rose Murphy, Nuruddin Kamal
and John Richards. This has been published in Summer,
2002 as CPR commentary No 2 by the Centre for
Policy Research of IUBAT (ISBN 984-861-0006).
The monograph has been launched through a series of
programs like dialogue with the media, roundtable on
rural electrification, and public lecture in Dhaka and an
workshop with the Palli Bidduit Samity (PBS) at
Mymensingh in August, 2002. The report has also been
distributed to all stakeholders in rural electrification
like PBSs, all power related organizations, print media
editors, program producers of electronic media,
members of civil society, all political parties, libraries
and research organizations as well as policy makers
including all members of Bangladesh parliament.
Besides, the monograph is available for sale through
commercial book sellers. An website has been created
for CPR and an internet version of the monograph is
available at the website for viewing and downloading.
Thus, the CPR policy of wide dissemination of research
publications has been followed in distribution of this
monograph.
The monograph makes a strong plea on the importance
of electricity for relieving poverty and accelerating
economic growth of Bangladesh. The research report
brings together in one document a great deal of
practical information about the power sector in
Energy Policy for Bangladesh
The CPR conducted study and published its third

monograph on Energy Policy for Bangladesh authored
by Prof Dr M Alimullah Miyan and Prof Dr John
Richards was released in Summer 2004. In this
monographs responded to the draft National Energy
Policy and offer a series of recommendations. The
recommendations cover major issues from export of
natural gas to improvements in the utilization of
biomass fuels.
Quality Primary Education
Over the last decade, Bangladesh has made impressive
gains in the quantity of education available. As of 2004,
there were 18 million children enrolled in 110,000
primary schools. The majority attend government
schools but a sizeable minority, approximately one
third, attend either private schools where parents pay,
non-formal NGO-run schools, or madrasas. The CPR
conducted a study and published its forth monogram
on What Parents Think of Their Childrens School in
Summer 2004 was authored by Sandra Nikolic and
John Richards. The findings includes over-centralized
control of schools, week local school management and
inadequate role for parent participation, exacerbated by
political interference; poor quality of teaching;
inadequate school infrastructure and learning materials;
and severe poverty among some families, which serves
as a barrier to access education. The study also suggests
that parents have concerns about school quality as
well as the availability of school spaces. The
recommendations based on the findings include
replacement of government school stipend with
selective school voucher programme; transfer
meaningful power over education policy from central
authority and members of parliament to elected
regional or local councils; and reform teacher training
to stress active teaching techniques.
Females Secondary School Participation
The CPR conducted a study and published its fifth
monograph on Barriers to Girls Secondary School
Participation in Rural Bangladesh in Autumn 2007.
According to the study, over the last 15 years,

secondary school enrolment rates among both boys and
girls have risen dramatically. The findings are: girls
rates of progression and completion of the secondary
cycle (from grades six through ten) are disturbingly low
albeit the comparable rates for boys are also low. At
grade six there is near parity between the number of
boys and girls enrolled. By grade ten, boys are
significantly ahead of girls in participation in public
examinations and promotion to higher secondary
school. Only 13 per cent of girls who complete the
tenth grade transition to the higher secondary grades of
eleven and twelve. There are powerful forces at work
within schools, families and the broader society that
dissuade girls from staying in school. Based on
interview responses among teachers, students and
parents in four rural schools, this study analyses why
girls drop out of school, and offers policy
recommendations to increase completion rates.

CENTRE FOR GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL CULTURE (CGEC)

Pursuit of knowledge on environmental
culture that nurture high level of
biodiversity, susceptibility of this culture to
indiscriminate human intervention, and
sustaining this endowed natural culture for
the sustainability of human itself is the need
of
the
time.
Consequences
of
indiscriminate human interventions on
global environmental culture, the earth, as a
whole, is experiencing downside changes
with the increasing frequencies and intensity
of extreme events and catastrophes.
Realizing the consequences,, the Centre for
Global Environmental Culture (CGEC) was
established in 1999 for influencing local,
national, regional and international decisions
and policies on environmental issues and
sustainability through cutting edge research
and offering comprehensive professional
development programs to improve human
capacity of private voluntary agencies, local
and national governments and international
organizations. CGEC has got, experts
professionals and scientific researchers on
environmental issues and is contributing to
environmental sustainability in the areas of
climate change, ecosystems, natural
resources and landscape management,
sustainable agriculture, organic farming,
biomass recycling, waste management and
education for sustainable Development
(ESD) etc. The centre is now hosting
worlds biggest Regional Centre of

Murdoch-IUBAT Program on Sustainability

Murdoch University (MU) of Perth, Australia and
IUBAT have initiated a joint program on
environment. Center for Global Environmental
Culture (CGEC) of IUBAT and Institute of
Sustainability and Technology Policy (ISTP) of
MU are involved in this program. Action
researcher from ISTP, MU, Australia arrived in
IUBAT during February to work on this program
and also to follow-up on other collaborative
activities between the two universities over the
past 4 years.
Two short-courses on Sustainability were jointly
offered on April 11-12 and 19-20. Each course was
specifically designed to provide an overview of
key issues in sustainability and to prepare
practitioners with the appropriate skills and
knowledge to contribute more effectively in their
institutions and developing their career.
Participation in the courses was through
registration. Academics, scholars, researchers and
activists on sustainability were eligible to join the
program. This was the first major training activity
of CGEC, which was established to address the
growing need of human resources development on
sustainability and environmental management. The
center will continue to offer similar training
courses, workshops, seminars and publication as
means of improving skills on sustainability and
environmental issues on its own as well as in
collaboration with ISTP, MU.
Certificate Awarding of Sustainability Course
The certificate awarding ceremony of the

course on Sustainability organized by CGEC
of IUBAT jointly with ISTP of MU,
Australia was held on April 20th at the
auditorium of Bangladesh Meteorology
Department, Dhaka. The training course is
part of the new initiative of CGEC, IUBAT
to develop skill and awareness on
environmental sustainability, bio-diversity,

ecology, environment friendly development,
renewable
energy
and
self-reliant
technology. Fifty six participants joined the
program and completed the requirements.
Participants were drawn from different type
of organizations like NGOs, government
departments, universities, international
bodies, research organizations, media and
professionals. Four completed the program
successfully while 52 received the certificate
of attendance.
Chief Guest of the ceremony was the Minister for
Disaster Management & Relief, GOB. In his
address, the Minister emphasized the need for
giving proper attention to environment to maintain
ecological balance. He pointed to the banning of
polythene and legislation on environment
preservation as indications of the commitment of
the government towards preserving sustainable
environment in the country. He appreciated the
pioneering role of IUBAT in promoting disaster
management in Bangladesh and expressed the
hope that the new initiative on environment with
Murdoch collaboration will benefit the teeming
millions in this country.
EGEC and CTRPD of IUBAT in cooperation with
a visiting professor of Curtin University, Australia
has undertaken an initiative to start a Certificate
Course on Sustainabilty in December 2014.
Research on Environment
The research on Eco-development in a Rural
Barind Community was initiated in the year 2000
with resource support of the United Nations
Development Programme (UNDP) channeled
through the Sustainable Environment Management
Programme of the Ministry of Environment and
Forest of the Government of Bangladesh. The
research was carried out under the Centre for
Global Environmental Culture(CGEC) of IUBAT
in collaboration with the ISTP of Murdoch
University, Perth, Australia.
This project was carried out in the villages of
Shaikhpur and Raninagar of Goran union under
Godagari thana of Rajshahi district. The research
involved setting up of an eco-village establishing
plantation of environment friendly plants,
4
conservation of bio-diversity, introduction of

renewable energy systems such as bio-gas plant,
energy efficient cooking stove, solar panel, biofertilizer and the like through participation of
village community. Training, orientation and
motivation of villagers in sustainable living were
part of the process of development. The impacts of
these inputs were measured for evolving
institutional
framework
for
sustainable
development processes, policy implications and
replication guidance.
The research was completed and the report was
published in September, 2002 in mimeograph form.
The report was accepted by the GOB.
The action research project dealt with ecodevelopment which means a generated
development synergy resulting from
environmental development and ecological
development for the achievement of socioeconomic self-reliance and sustainability of
people of the Barind Tract. The project
demonstrates processes of eco-development
aiming at improving the degraded
environmental
and
socio-economic
conditions of the Barind villages.
Increasingly decreased water-flow in the
Padma river during dry season (January to
May) and extraction of underground water
for irrigation purposes exceeding natural
recharge capacity are widely believed to be
the principal causes of environmental
deterioration
(desertification
and
ecosystemic down turn) and consequently
economic poverty of the people of the
Barind. Attempts have been made to address
the environmental and economical concerns
with sustainable technologies. Elder
villagers took part in the project lending
their cooperation, experiences and wisdom.
Their
participation
facilitated
the
introduction of some eco-technological
means and revival of traditional village
culture. The project outcomes will
synergistically help regain rural self-reliance
in the aspects of their livelihoods and
environmental sustainability.
The project has implemented environmental

awareness building program, plantation of
indigenous trees over-shadowing the ongoing culture of plantation of exotic Sissoo
and Eucalyptus etc; adoption of renewable
energy technology systems and energy
efficient cooking technology.
Environmental awareness building program
has
educated
people
about
the
environmental management in the light of
the past environmental scenarios of the
region. Plantation of native trees are now
considered by people that these trees are
environmentally,
economically
and
nutritionally beneficial than the exotic
species. A biomass digester (biogas
technology), eight bio-compost pits, and a
solar PV have been installed for
demonstration. Biogas and bio-compost pit
technology would help reduce exploitation
pressure on biomass resources and generate
biogas for cooking, bio-manures for
sustainable
agriculture
(including
aquaculture),
regenerate
soil
and
environmental health, cut the current
practices of using chemical fertilizers, and
enrich biodiversity. Solar energy system has
various merits as to energy and environment
related matters. In sum, the project outcomes
have implications for national policy
regarding eco-development.
Program on Education for Sustainability
CGEC introduced Program on Education for
Sustainability. Professor M Alimullah
Miyan and Professor Eric Frank jointly
inaugurated the program with formal
declaration of IUBAT as a Green Campus in
August 12, 2008. The green Campus of
IUBAT is a symbol of implementation of
sustainability activities along with sweet
behavior and manner and environmentfriendly for higher educational institute.
Education for Sustainability (EfS) is to
educate the people to make them sincere for
5
rational and sustainable use of natural

resources and to refrain from such activities
which are threat to the lives, and
simultaneously to keep the natural resources
at a balanced condition for future generation
of the planet i.e., to keep the earth as a
healthy habitat for next generation. EfS
values respects: respect for others, respect in
the present and for future generation, respect
for the earth and what it provides i.e. the
resources, flora and fauna.
commitment for implementing sustainable

activities.
EfS and Nature: Our earth is for all. The

land, water, air and the lives: all the
creations are in a binding of natural laws.
Though, change is universal but the whole
system is working in a harmony of unity
between diversity and complementary to
each other. Since human being is superior to
all other creation, it dictates the natural
activities for his interest. A dramatic change
has been occurred in past two centuries due
to development of industries, agriculture,
transportation, and health sectors etc., which

has reversed the earth habitat to an
unsuitable place for many, including the
human beings. We have already lost
thousands of species; climate change and
global warming, as well as, food security
have become a great threat to land dwellers.
Burning of fossil fuels, uses of arsenals and

chemicals etc. polluted the air, water and
soil. Contaminated water, food and air are
affecting lives. Crisis of energy, food,
drinking water, disasters like cyclones,
floods, drought, and outbreak of epidemics
etc., and safe disposal of wastes are of very
frequent. Moreover, loss of biodiversity and
diminution of natural resources further
aggravating the prevailing environmental
conditions. Therefore, we need to take
immediate action to protect our environment
and bring back the world favorable for
living. The EfS has made a strong
EfS Vision: Education for sustainability is

our Planet
Create and enjoy a better, safer, more
just world be caring citizens who
