Purpose: The accountability of public officials is a cornerstone of democratic systems; however, citizens often struggle to oversee delegated authorities effectively because of population growth and governance complexity. This study proposes a mobile application designed to bridge this gap by enabling direct citizen engagement, real-time oversight, and transparency through an autonomous accountability committee. Methods: This theoretical study employed a qualitative, hypothesis-driven approach that integrated governance principles, technological feasibility assessments, and comparative analyses. Results: The proposed framework enables structured citizen participation in accountability processes through features such as complaint submission, voting, data audits, oversight, and investigative reporting. By aligning governance processes with democratic principles, the system fosters transparency, trust, and public administration responsibility. Conclusion: The framework for an accountability mobile application leverages technology to improve transparency, citizen engagement, and government oversight. It addresses inefficiencies in traditional systems while overcoming challenges such as data security and legal recognition. Compared with existing digital tools, this system offers stronger engagement and enforcement. Future research should focus on pilot implementations to assess their impact on governance and public trust. Limitations: As the research is entirely theoretical, practical challenges such as government adoption, cyber security risks, legal compliance, and technological scalability remain untested. The feasibility of implementation depends on institutional cooperation and regulatory adaptation. Contributions: This research advances the discourse on democratic oversight, digital accountability, and citizen empowerment in public administration. Key features include AI monitoring, blockchain security, decentralized participation, and technology-based digital mechanisms, along with existing methods to ensure an effective accountability system.

This article explores the political journey of Bangladesh from its birth in 1971 to the difficult present, like a long and winding river shaped by storms of ambition, ideology, and outside influence. After gaining independence, the country dreamed of unity, rebuilding, and democracy. But over time, those hopes were shaken by repeated waves of political instability, military rule, and weak attempts to build lasting democracy. Political agendas changed again and again, like a swinging pendulum moving between dreams of economic growth and infrastructure. Yet, these goals were often blocked by corruption, family-based control of power, and unfair elections. The story of democracy in Bangladesh has not only been written by elected leaders but also shaped by powerful unelected groups such as the military, business elites, and foreign powers. Each of them has left their mark on the country’s political path. As the nation moved between secular ideals and the rise of religion in politics, its institutions became weaker, burdened by political bias and growing public distrust. At the center of all these are deep political problems, like cracks in a building’s foundation, which have blocked the path toward a fair and fully representative democracy. This article also looks closely at these problems and shows how they still affect political choices and make it harder for Bangladesh to build a strong and stable democratic future.

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

Purpose Economic hardship remains a major barrier for students in higher education, affecting their learning experiences and academic outcomes. This study examines how financial difficulties influence students’ access to essential resources, academic performance, mental health, and overall progress. It also aims to highlight the strategies students use to cope with these challenges and the role of institutional support programs in helping them succeed. This research relies on secondary data collected from previous studies, reports, and institutional statistics. Through careful review and analysis of these sources, the study identifies key patterns and trends showing how financial constraints shape students’ academic experiences and opportunities. Findings The analysis reveals that students from low-income backgrounds often face difficulties accessing learning materials, technology, and campus activities, which can slow their academic progress and increase the risk of dropping out. At the same time, many students demonstrate resilience, self-motivation, and the ability to overcome challenges, especially when supported by targeted institutional programs. The findings underscore the importance of policy interventions and university-led support initiatives to ensure more equitable opportunities in higher education for financially disadvantaged students.
