SAU Dev. Project, VC appointment…..

Recently in a meeting of the ECNEC chaired by Hon’ble Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, a development project costing nearly 400 crore taka of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University (SAU), Dhaka was approved. This project after successful implementation will turn the SAU into a modern institute of higher agricultural education. All the teachers and students, officers, staff and workers of SAU have expressed their heartiest thanks and gratitude to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina for granting such a big project for making SAU a center of excellence.
Meanwhile the Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University is eagerly waiting to welcome new Vice Chancellor, Pro-VC and Treasurer who will provide the management leadership for the successful implementation of the above mentioned development project. It may be mentioned here that the posts of VC, Pro-VC and Treasurer were fallen vacant when the tenure of previous VC, Pro-VC ended on June 25 and Treasurer on June 27 this year.
A number of potential candidates from the SAU have submitted their application for the above mentioned posts which is under process in the Ministry of Education. However, due to the non-appointment of these key officials, the day to day management activities of the varsity are facing problems. Without VC and Treasurer, the management is constrained to pay the salaries of teachers, officers, staff and workers of the university.
It is sincerely hoped that the concerned authority will expedite the process and appoint eligible candidates to the above mentioned posts at the earliest.
Yours truly,
Professor M Zahidul Haque

Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University,
