Jashore-2 Member of Parliament Dr. Mosleh Uddin Farid has strongly demanded the establishment of an agricultural university in Jashore. He made the call on Tuesday during a session of the National Parliament while addressing an urgent public issue. Farid emphasized that despite being a key agricultural region in the southwest, Jashore lacks a specialized institution for higher education and research in agriculture.
Highlighting Jashore’s agricultural potential, he described it as the flower capital of Bangladesh, producing about 70 percent of the country’s flowers from the Gadkhali area. The district also contributes significantly to national food security through year-round production of vegetables, rice, and jute. However, he noted that the region still lacks an effective research center to address challenges such as waterlogging, salinity, and cyclones.
Farid added that 173 acres of unused land at the research center in Chowgacha could be utilized for the university, saving both time and cost. He mentioned that the education ministry has already sent a proposal to the University Grants Commission for feasibility assessment and urged the education minister to take immediate action.
