Science and technology in Bangladesh

Since its independence in 1971, Bangladesh has been plagued with many social issues such as poverty and illiteracy, and science and technology have lagged behind in the priority list of the successive governments.

[citation needed] The educational reforms during this period gave birth to many distinguished scientists in the region.

In 1924–25, while researching at the University of Dhaka, Prof Satyendra Nath Bose well known for his works in quantum mechanics, provided the foundation for Bose–Einstein statistics and the theory of the Bose–Einstein condensate.

[5][6][7] After the Partition of India in 1947, Bangladesh or erstwhile East Bengal (later named as East Pakistan) became a part of the Muslim majority Dominion of Pakistan and several talented Hindu scientists of Bangladeshi origin decided for moving to the Dominion of India because of the growing communal dissonance in the region.

[1] The government of Bangladesh passed a university act in 1986 to give special importance in science and technology education.
