A New Dawn in Meherpur: Embracing Our Historic Responsibility
It is with immense pride and a deep sense of
responsibility that I welcome you to Meherpur University—a nascent beacon of higher
education rising from the heart of our historic land. The founding of this
university marks not merely the creation of another academic institution, but
the realization of a long-cherished dream for the people of Meherpur. It stands
as a testament to our nation’s enduring commitment to empowering future
generations through knowledge, inquiry, and opportunity.
Meherpur, a district inscribed in golden
letters in the annals of Bangladesh’s history—where the Proclamation of
Independence was first declared—now begins a new chapter. Just as this soil
once nurtured the seeds of our national freedom, Meherpur University is poised
to cultivate the minds and spirits that will shape our collective future.

Our vision for Meherpur University is to
become a premier institution of higher learning that is recognized nationally

curriculum delivered by a dedicated faculty of distinguished scholars and researchers.
We will foster a culture of academic integrity and lifelong learning.
2. Research and Innovation: Our teachers and students will be
equipped to do innovative research that tackles regional, national, and
worldwide issues. Our goal will be to produce
inventions that have an impact and knowledge that matters.

hand, the heart, and the brain. We will
develop morally upright leaders, kind citizens, and people with the fortitude
and moral compass to make constructive contributions to society.
