Aviation and Aerospace University started it's journey in Lalmonirhat.

[Homo Sapiens]

Academic activities started in the first Aviation and Aerospace University of Bangladesh in Lalmonirhat. For the last three years, academic class were held at Dhaka Tejgaon temporary campus. Now students were transferred to the permanent campus in Lalmonirhat after finishing the construction works of Academic buildings and other physical infrastructure. This University was set up with the aim to create skilled manpower in Aviation and Aerospace sector with the goal of maintainance, repair and manufacturing of Aircrafts, satellites and Rockets locally.

Nope, just another public university with student politics infestation. It will only manufacturer government job seeking bots like other public universities.

If by chance a good engineer comes out of it, he will fly away from this hellhole country as always.

Higher education must be privatized. We should stop wasting our monies manufacturing "বই মুখস্থবিদ" bots.

Dude, I know you feel a bit hard done by due to personal situation but we need to keep perspective here.

BD started almost from scratch in 1971 and hence why in a few areas it is still behind both Pakistan and India.

India had favouritism in education during the British time and the Pakistanis got all the educated India Muslims in 1947, favoured themselves for education during 1947-1971 and their army killed a lot of the BD intellectuals during 1971.

This is the start and BD higher education can be an area of focus this decade and next as massive progress has been made over the last 2 decades in both primary and secondary education.

The day when BD may build a competitive world class fighter plane(almost certainly unmanned and powered by AI) is probably not in any of our livetimes here but you need to start off somewhere and this is it.

In a few countries there are private companies engaging in private space rocket and spaceship development including in USA, China and India. Good that space rocketry is about to be studied in Bangladesh and since BD is starting anew in this field it can pick up non-traditional means and technologies to develop and run space rockets, for example electric motors to pump fuel to the engine instead of using traditional turbopumps. Such a non-traditional rocket assemblage is the Electron rocket from Rocket Labs, using the Rutherford engine.

@Bilal9 bhai, you can have a good future in BD.

"Education" in South Asia is almost completely privatized. SA is not a Socialist or Communist region to have free education. Yet where is the innovation from this region ?

Education in exchange of money is irrational, inhumane and a taking away of a human's basic right. What about those people who don't have money for the higher education you mean ? Should they be kept bereft of education, if at all he or she enters what in South Asia goes by the name of education ? There are so many suicides by students every year either because of pressure by parents who force upon an in-fashion "education" field upon their child just so that the parents can brag about their child's "high marks", or the student suicides because he or she is being forced to get "high marks" in stupid exams just so that the child ( the son generally ) can get into a middle class wage-slave employment in the Capitalist ecosystem for the socio-economic benefit of the parents, and the child is not able to secure these "high marks" to get into so-called prestigious colleges and gets daily social pressure bombardment from the parents and the surrounding society which is also largely either made up of irrationals or those who find going with the herd flow to be comfortable.

The bots in South Asia are because of privatized "education" which focuses on producing cogs in the Capitalist wage slavery wheels.

I agree, but why Lalmanir Hat? What special aviation expertise exists there in that far North area?

Except being close to Indian border and their bases including Bagdogra and (the newly opened) Rupsi Airport in Koch Bihar?

Come to think of it - Chicken's neck is close by too.

But could not equate two and two to make four - why they'd establish this university in the boonies over there.

what im worried about is the "Chetona" related activities instead of R&D

No idea why there.

But why not?

If you are worried about Indian influence, it makes no difference if the place is physically in Dhaka or near the border.

People put academic institutions in the boonies all the time.

i.e. Dartmouth or Cornell.

The important thing is, this place exists for the stated purpose of: the aim to create skilled manpower in Aviation and Aerospace sector with the goal of maintainance, repair and manufacturing of Aircrafts, satellites and Rockets locally.

Forget the manufacting part for a second.

Even if you take only the first part of that sentence; there are plenty of Bangladeshis who can be trained to populate the aviation maintance/repair market worldwide.

If we can produce a few maintenance engineers to maintain our small fleet - that would be worth it in itself.

Couple of points - developing the area and availability of an airport.

I don't think there is any connection to Indian bases regarding this university. Besides, because of our geographical location we will always be vulnerable to espionage and being in range of missile attack.

I am hopeful that something good will come out of this In Sha Allah. It's a good first step. BAF may be inept in general, but when it comes to civilian administration like educational institutes, our military has proved to yield better result than civilian administrators. We just need to ensure these engineering graduates are able to find jobs in our defense and aviation sector to ensure enough talent is interested in this sector.

Actually, Chetona good, Hefazat evil. You are talking about a college that speaks of venturing into very obvious Nature - space - yet you don't want people to have free minds to explore Nature ?
