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

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.

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.
