Abstract

This study investigates the level of student satisfaction with the academic environment at the University of Rajshahi, aiming to contribute to a broader understanding of the quality of higher education in Bangladesh. The academic environment encompasses not only classroom experiences but also a range of institutional supports and services that facilitate student learning, development, and well-being. Adopting a mixed-method research design, the study integrates quantitative data from structured surveys with qualitative insights obtained through in-depth interviews and document analysis. This approach allows for a comprehensive understanding of the perceptions, expectations, and experiences of students across different faculties and academic years. The University of Rajshahi offers several academic and non-academic support mechanisms, including academic advising, counseling services, mentorship programs, library facilities, and financial aid, which collectively shape the students' academic journey. The research explores how effectively these services are delivered and whether they align with the diverse needs of the student population. Findings from the study are expected to reveal critical insights into institutional strengths and areas requiring improvement, with the aim of informing future policy initiatives and strategies to enhance academic satisfaction and overall educational quality at the university level in Bangladesh.

Abstract

Women’s empowerment is an important issue in the socio-economic context of Bangladesh, which is directly related to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 5 and 10, but patriarchal society, poverty, veiling, child marriage, dowry, gender-based discrimination limit the opportunities for women’s empowerment. The objects of this study examine the actual status of women’s empowerment in Bangladesh and the effectiveness of initiatives taken by NGOs in recent decades. Through secondary data, policy reports and descriptive analysis, it examines how NGOs are addressing issues such as gender equality, microfinance, education, skills training, healthcare and legal awareness. The findings show that non-governmental organizations (NGOs) such as BRAC, TMSS, Proshika, UNDP, ASA, Bangladesh Mahila Parishad have been working towards women’s political, economic, social and educational empowerment through initiatives such as microfinance programmed, skill development, education, healthcare and legal awareness.  Despite their success, NGOs face challenges including patriarchal practices, child marriage, poverty, debt traps and difficulties in coordinating with government agencies. The study provides practical suggestions for enhancing collaboration with the government, awareness-raising campaigns, ensuring the presence of local resources, skills training programmed, incentives in the education sector, providing soft loans, implementing laws to prevent child marriage, dowry and violence, ensuring a women-friendly environment and quotas in the workplace, and increasing women's direct participation in decision-making. Overall, this study provides clear insights for NGOs, policymakers and other stakeholders to ensure women's empowerment.

Abstract

This research initiates an inquiry into the perceptions, expectations, and political behavior of first-time voters of Ward No. 30, Rajshahi City Corporation to gauge their role in the democratic process as new entrants in the electoral system. First-time voters provide an insightful view of how youth relate to democracy in Bangladesh. The study uses a structured questionnaire with demographic and issue-based questions to show key concerns at present: unemployment, corruption, and low faith in electoral fairness. It further probes what influences their voting decision—credibility of the candidate, party ideology, or social media and peer influence—and finds that first-time voters have a very sophisticated awareness of politics; they are both enthusiastic and skeptical about such voters who demand accountability with transparent and inclusive governance. The findings show a sophisticated political sensitivity among first-time voters—a mix of zeal and doubt—who weigh much accountability, transparency, and inclusive governance. It is thus concluded that by giving this demographic more political representation and real engagement opportunities, a more participatory and responsive democratic culture can be encouraged.
