President's speech

It is my great pleasure that the Bangladesh Association for the Advancement of Science (BAAS) after a long time of  inception of digital Bangladesh in 2009 has been successful to launch a website of its own as well as to make online version of its journal the “Bangladesh Journal of Scientific Research (BJSR)” in the most modern format adopting the international standard.BAAS is now a big forum of scientists from different fields including Agricultural, Biological, Medical, Physical and Social Sciences, and Engineering and so on. The website of any organization in this digital era is an essential media for disseminating national and globally of its image and contributions while online version of its journal is the key element to establish mass communication of its quality, standard and highlighting the national scientific and technological advancement and achievement of the Scientific Community.Although it is too late but I recall the great proverb “Late is better than Never”. Through this websitethe honorable members of BAAS will surely get to a great opportunity to be acquainted with the peers living in the globe. So I am gratefully indebted to all persons who have helped and cooperated in materializing these great tasks. Particularly I express my gratitude to the current BAAS Executive Council office bearers for their initiative and endorsement of all actions and needs for implementing this great work. It will be serious unjust for me if I fail to duly communicate cordial thanksof theExecutive Council including myself to Prof. Dr. Jibon Podder and Prof. Dr. Md. Mominul Islam, Chief Editor and Editor of the BJSR, respectively, who have worked day and night to organize, follow-up and support the successful completion of launching the website and reformatting and correctly preparing the online most modern version of the Journal.

Last but not the least, I on behalf of the BAAS Executive Council and BAAS General body extend my indebtednessand gratitude to Engg Syed Mozibul Hoque, Project Director, and his colleagues, and the Hon’ble State Minister of ICT Division, Ministry of Posts, Telecommunications and Information Technology, Government of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh for their understanding and  kindness to provide us the Server Space for hosting the website andthe Journal (BJSR) under the prescribed terms and conditions.We wish the Ministry’s great accomplishment in the ICT sectorand extend our immense gratitude to the Hon’ble Prime Minister for creating the Digital Facilities in the country.
