Suhel Ahmad

Background of the Establishment of the University: Education is the backbone and culture is the inner spirit of any nation. Nations that are rich in these two elements also embrace technology in today’s developed and prosperous world. Bangladesh, a developing and over-populated country is blessed with a wealth of diverse talents among its abundant population. By harnessing modern techno-based education, maintaining creativity at its heart and aligned with our traditional culture we can reach “developed world” status very rapidly. Md. Imamul Kabir Shanto, a valiant Freedom Fighter in our War of Liberation, became frustrated by post-independence policies and left Bangladesh for Europe. During his stay in Europe he was highly impressed by the pronounced value of the design, vocational, technological and cultural education of the European Country which immensely contributed to the economic growth and social development of their society. On returning to his motherland, he found that although geographic freedom had been achieved, the economy remained shattered and there was no cultural nor educational emancipation. He vowed to utilize his own ingenuity, strength and wealth to help the poor, underprivileged countrymen and with the lessons learnt from European countries established the Shanto-Maiam Foundation. The Foundation thus envisaged following four basic objectives needed for development of our socio-economic condition, simultaneously solving other problems.
