Gazipur Agricultural University (GAU) has outlined a three-year research roadmap featuring 34 proposals across five thematic areas. The plan aims to address emerging agricultural challenges and translate scientific knowledge into practical benefits for farmers.
The proposals were presented at a three-day workshop titled “Long-Term Research Planning 2026–2029”. The university’s Research Management Wing organized the event. The closing session was held at the Academic Council Room on Monday, said a press release.
During the workshop, principal investigators presented their research objectives, implementation strategies, future plans, and potential applications. The discussions focused on making the proposed research more practical, relevant, and outcome oriented.
Addressing the session, Vice-Chancellor G K M Mustafizur Rahman said, “Research is indispensable to advancing the government’s agenda for agricultural modernization, higher productivity and food security. Our research must align with national priorities, drive innovation and address farmers’ real-world needs. Its true success lies in turning scientific knowledge into tangible improvements in farmers’ fields and the country’s agricultural sector.”
In his concluding remarks, session chair Md Moshiul Islam said the workshop’s achievement went beyond presenting 34 research proposals. He said it laid the foundation for a more structured, coordinated, and long-term research framework at the university.
He assured that the Research Management Wing would continue providing support and coordination to advance the proposed initiatives.
