66th Establishment Day of Bangladesh Agricultural University
On the joyous occasion of the 66th Establishment Day of Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU), We extend our heartfelt greetings and best wishes to the entire BAU family—past and present—along with its alumni, students, faculty, staff, partners, and well-wishers at home and abroad.
Established in 1961, BAU has grown into the nation’s premier institution dedicated to agricultural education, research, innovation, and the advancement of agriculture, fisheries, livestock, and food production.
On this occasion Honorable Vice-Chancellor of BAU Professor Dr A K Fazlul Haque Bhuiyan said that over the decades, more than 61,000 graduates have emerged from this distinguished institution and are serving Bangladesh and the international community across diverse sectors.
Their contributions have played a significant role in strengthening Bangladesh’s agricultural transformation and helping the country achieve greater food security and self-sufficiency.
Today, BAU is increasingly a global academic community, welcoming 110 foreign students and fostering knowledge exchange across borders. Its commitment to research and innovation is vital not only for Bangladesh but also for addressing global challenges—including climate change, food and nutritional security, sustainable agriculture, and resilient food systems.
This year is particularly significant as three distinguished BAU alumni—Prof. Dr. Zahurul Karim, Dr. Mohammad Abdul Baki, and Prof. Dr. M. A. Rahim—have been honoured with the Independence Award 2026, the highest civilian honour of Bangladesh in recognition of their outstanding contributions to science & technology, research and training, bringing immense pride to the University and its extended family.
On this historic occasion, may BAU continue to inspire generations, expand the frontiers of agricultural science, and contribute to a food-secure, prosperous, sustainable, and knowledge-driven Bangladesh and a better world.
Happy 66th Establishment Day, Bangladesh Agricultural University!
Long live BAU. Long live the spirit of agricultural innovation and service to humanity.
