Abstract

National integrity is a core aspect of state development, stability and legitimacy. The issue of national integrity becomes especially important in countries such as Bangladesh, where democratic institutions overlap with governance challenges. The article is a qualitative inquiry into some of the key determinants and barriers of national integrity that have been compiled from a broad array of academic and institutional sources. It explores the roles of corruption, institutional trust, rule of law, governance quality, public accountability, civic virtue, and political culture, taking into account recent determinants such as citizen engagement and integrity systems. The paper critically discusses the current discourse and assesses empirical lessons learned on how structural, behavioral, and cultural conditions influence the overall integrity at large (national) scale. By highlighting and analyzing these dynamics, this research illuminates, not just the predicaments and innovations in contemporary Bangladesh, but also wider theories concerning the dynamics of good governance and nation-building. This is the only study employing an integrated approach that combines multi-sectors without primary data to provide an inclusive and well-informed knowledge base, based on confirmed and up-to-date published literature. It fills a critical void in current literature, which has tended to isolate integrity concerns rather

Abstract

SDG 4 stands for giving everyone good and equal education and chances to keep learning throughout life. Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) play an undeniable role in tackling educational challenges in rural Bangladesh, where poverty, lack of awareness, poor infrastructure, and social barriers limit access to quality education. This study reviews the work of NGOs over recent decades to understand how they have helped improve education in rural communities. It examines how NGOs have addressed issues such as enrollment, literacy, gender equality, community involvement, and sustainability. The findings show that NGOs have increased school attendance and literacy through community-based non-formal education, scholarships, teacher training, life skills programs, and digital learning initiatives. They have also promoted gender equality and encouraged local communities to take part in education programs. Despite their success, NGOs face challenges including funding shortages, weak infrastructure, technological gaps, social resistance, and coordination difficulties with government agencies. The study offers practical suggestions for improving collaboration with the government, securing funding, enhancing teacher support, expanding digital access, and building climate resilience into education programs. Overall, the study provides clear insights for policymakers, educators, and development practitioners aiming to strengthen rural education.

Abstract

While youth-led digital activism is increasingly visible across the globe, scholarly understanding of how these dynamics shape political outcomes in South and Southeast Asia remains limited. Addressing this gap, this study investigates how Generation Z in Nepal and Indonesia employs social media to mobilize political action and influence institutional change. Specifically, the research compares the mechanisms through which online platforms facilitate coordination, amplify grievances, and construct collective identity among young activists in both countries. Using a qualitative comparative approach that integrates media content analysis with secondary data from reports and news archives, the study analyzes two key cases: the 2025 social-media-ban protests in Nepal and the digitally driven mass demonstrations in Indonesia. The findings show that digital activism not only accelerates the transition from online engagement to offline mobilization but also generates cross-border ripple effects, where successful youth movements inspire similar actions in neighboring states. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of youth political agency in the digital era and offers insights into the evolving patterns of civic engagement shaped by social media.
