Research not on DU’s mind
Despite repeated complaints raised by different sections on Dhaka University's lack of research work, the university's newest budget still paints a bleak picture for the sector.
The Tk 631.79-crore budget for 2021-2022 fiscal was passed in DU senate yesterday with the highest allocation (31.80 percent) for salary and lowest for research (1.32 percent).
The amount allocated for research is Tk 11 crore.
Although the research sector saw a Tk 2 crore increment from last year, senate members have drew attention of the VC while passing the budget, saying it is still insufficient.
The size of this year's budget has also decreased from last year.
DU had prepared a budget of Tk 869.56 crore for 2020-21, which was the largest in the university's history.
