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

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

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.

Abstract

The term “university” carries a long intellectual, historical, and cultural legacy, yet the criteria for recognizing an institution as a university remain fluid and context-dependent. This study seeks to explore how an institution comes to be regarded as a university by examining the conceptual, historical, structural, and societal determinants that shape this recognition. Drawing on a qualitative and interpretive approach, the paper analyzes classical understandings of the university, traces the evolution of the term, and examines contemporary expectations surrounding higher education institutions. The discussion highlights that the idea of a university extends beyond legal designation; it is rooted in scholarly traditions, academic autonomy, breadth of knowledge, research culture, institutional mission, globalization, and societal perception. The findings reveal that while regulatory standards provide formal recognition, the deeper legitimacy of a university emerges from its ability to cultivate knowledge, uphold intellectual freedom, and contribute meaningfully to society. This conceptual inquiry therefore offers a contextual framework for understanding how institutions attain the identity of a university, and why this identity continues to evolve in response to educational, cultural, and global transformations.
