Dhaka, 27 April: The Centre for Higher Studies and Research (CHSR) of Bangladesh University of Professionals (BUP) organized a seminar today focusing on two critical themes-“Health Implications of Extreme Climate Change: Evidence from the Selected Coastal Bangladesh” and “Service Quality of the Digital Land Services of Local Administration in Bangladesh: A Study of Upazila Land Office (ULO)”. The seminar aimed to share the findings of two UGC-funded research projects conducted during the Fiscal Year 2023–2024.

It served as a valuable platform for collaborative learning, policy discussion, and knowledge exchange. Distinguished researchers from BUP who conducted the studies presented their findings during the seminar.
