Agr. varsity in the city!
I am talking about the Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University(SAU) which is just now being located at the heart of a burgeoning capital city. How a farm varsity could be established just at the heart of a very densely populated city? A farm varsity is supposed to be in the countryside or around the farm lands/ farm households.
How impractical was the thinking of the planners that three Agricultural Universities were set up within the range of 30 to 90 kilometres (Bangabandhu Agricultural University, BAU and SAU) in the same agro-ecological zone? To be pragmatic, SAU should be shifted immediately, correcting the mistake in establishing it at the present location, to a different agro-ecological zone, probably to Comilla or Faridpur or may even be merged with Bangabandhu Agricultural University which has currently only 5-6 departments.
