Irrelevant higher studies

We have a lot of meritorious students who are studying in the university level. Some of them go for higher studies. For this purpose they go to abroad and sometimes do research on subjects quite unrelated to the environment and culture of our country. Such type of research can bring nothing but some PhD holders for Bangladesh.

For example one of my relatives went to Dalhousie University for PhD and his subject was "Salmon fish". We know that it is a foreign species and his research probably will not contribute anything to the country's development.

If he had worked on Hilisha Fish or other fishes that is adaptable to our environment, it could be fruitful for the country. In that case students may do his/ her research work in Bangladeshi Universities or in universities of neighbouring countries under his guidance.

For our development we need a lot of intellectuals who can contribute their motherland something fruitful which make us a proud nation. In order to fulfil our dreams and cope with this kind of situation the authority concerned as well as the students have to think once again and take effective steps as soon as possible.
