Community Service

Founder and Chairman, Rural Emancipation Society (RES), Bangladesh. Established in 2006, a government approved non-political and not-for-profit organization solely devoted to the welfare of humanity. The programs of this organization allow rural people to rise in economic and social standing, come out of poverty and achieve a lifestyle to be proud of. The main objectives of this organization are to alleviate rural poverty through financially sound development, active community participation and the empowerment of women; and to create awareness among the people and bring facilities for enhancement of education, health, hygiene and environment. It aims to formulate a plan for the development of human resources, creating opportunities for career development and utilization of human resources; to develop opportunities for research, training, welfare, financial development and humanitarian services; and to create an environment for interaction of the rural, less educated people with the more enlightened people of the country and the world and thereby improve overall economic and social conditions. Currently the organization is working on poverty alleviation projects in rural areas of Bangladesh and is planning to work on education; and health and environmental projects.For details please see: www.resbd.org
