MEMORANDUM OF CONSTITUTION
(Approved in the General Body Meeting on 13 April 2013)

 RAJSHAHI UNIVERSITY ALUMNI ASSOCIATION (RUAA)

Preamble

Since the inception of the University of Rajshahi (RU) in 1953, it has produced a large number of graduates, many of whom are well placed, experienced and eager to set a link with their Alma mater and do something good for the University to help it flourish as a centre of academic excellence nationally and globally. The university also needs the contribution of its alumnus / Alumna to cherish its goal. To ease the reciprocal procedure, the University has planned to introduce in its administrative organogram the ALUMNI association to establish contacts with its graduates settled home and abroad, to benefit from their counseling, guidance and help in every respect for the all-round development of their Alma Mater.

The urgency of an effective alumni association has long been felt for the development of the university’s intellectual and socio-economic activities. This region, which presented the world community with a galaxy of celebrities in the realm of ideas and thought like Jagadish Chandra Bose, Rabindra Nath Tagore, Profulla Chandra Roy, Satyendra Nath Bose,
Kazi Nazrul Islam, Mohammad Shahidullah, Qudrat-e-Khuda, Qazi Motahar Hossain, Amartya Kumar Sen and Mohammad Yunus is now witnessing a sudden and sharp decline in the pursuit of knowledge and the cultivation of intellect.

It is time to acknowledge the fact that the standard of education is declining very fast and scientific research, in particular, is in disarray. The monumental work of Professor S.N. Bose on Quantum Statistics in 1924, done in this very land at the University of Dhaka appears now to be a distant dream. It is now time to locate and remove the obstacles in the way to progress before it is too late to have the situation in control. The promising talents, that still we have, cannot produce the best in the schools of research due to lack of adequate facilities. Many of them being frustrated, leave the country to make use of better opportunities abroad.

Out of the many contributing factors, the prime reasons for declining standard in the education and research, are poor laboratories and impoverished libraries. The University does not have enough funds to procure books, subscribe for the journals and maintain the standard of labs. for imparting and facilitating quality education to the students; and to provide requisite facilities to the teachers and researchers for furtherance of their knowledge. In this situation, RUAA with valued suggestions of its honourable members can contribute significantly to the overall development of education and research in their Alma Mater, so that RU, the second oldest and largest educational institution in Bangladesh, emerges as an excellent institution of research and as one of the major contributors in the development of science and technology of the country. Then and then only RU can sail with confidence towards the high tide of international intellectual concourse, for which we all can feel very proud.

With the purpose in view, RU in its 87th resolution of the 357th syndicate meeting dated 14/24-10-99 and 18th resolution of the 409th syndicate meeting dated 22-2-07 has formed an Alumni Organising Committee to frame rules and regulations to carry out the Alumni activities through RUAA which shall be a non-political, non-communal and non-profitable organization.
