DG BIMRAD met with Kazi Nasrin Siddiqa, President and Executive Director of the Education and Cultural Society (ECS), at BIMRAD’s office. The discussions centered on promoting maritime literacy in coastal communities and addressing critical issues such as marine pollution, climate change, and disaster preparedness.

Kazi Nasrin Siddiqa’s vast expertise in education and community services was highlighted as a vital resource in developing targeted programs for these communities, mainly focusing on empowering women and girls. Both organizations explored potential collaborations to enhance maritime education, climate resilience, and gender equity in the maritime sector. Key areas of cooperation include building community-based initiatives, environment education in coastal areas (E-STEM), climate change awareness in coastal areas, and raising awareness about marine pollution. BIMRAD looks forward to working together with ECS to drive impactful changes and promote the well-being of Bangladesh’s coastal populations.
