📚 Fieldwork Update: Gender Governance & Development in Action
The Department of Governance and Development Studies at Bandarban University recently conducted a successful field research trip as part of the **Gender Governance and Development** curriculum.
Led by Lecturer Nakibul Islam Chowdhury, the experiential learning initiative provided students with invaluable hands-on academic exposure.
In alignment with the core principles of the course, **female students took the helm**, successfully taking charge of the planning, coordination, and ex*****on of the fieldwork operations. This leadership-in-action model allowed students to bridge the gap between theoretical gender development frameworks and real-world application, gaining deep insights into community dynamics.
# # # 🙌 Directing Thanks
The Department extends its sincere gratitude to those who made this experiential learning opportunity possible:
* **Mohammad Wahidur Rahman** (Department Coordinator) for his strategic guidance and continuous support.
* **Sahadat Rahman** (Lecturer) for his vital assistance in coordinating logistics and student mentorship.
Congratulations to our students for demonstrating exceptional leadership and academic curiosity during this field study!
