No Poverty

Jahangirnagar University supports access to higher education through scholarship and financial assistance opportunities. Its published notices include university supplementary scholarships, the Trust Fund Scholarship, and financial grants for undergraduate and postgraduate students. These opportunities can help eligible students manage educational expenses and continue their studies.

The university also publishes notices concerning government stipends for students from minority communities and students with visual and other disabilities. By facilitating access to these schemes, Jahangirnagar University supports the participation of groups that may face additional barriers to higher education.

Jahangirnagar University contributes to capacity-building through its Institute of Remote Sensing and GIS, Department of Statistics and Data Science, and Institute of Information Technology. The institute provides skills development training, undertakes research, and facilitates knowledge sharing. Its work examines social, economic, and ecological challenges associated with disasters and climate change. These activities are relevant to understanding threats to livelihoods and strengthening community resilience.

The university’s academic work also addresses poverty, inequality, food security, and development. For example, published faculty information in Anthropology identifies research interests in these areas and research assignments undertaken for development organisations. Such scholarship provides a foundation for understanding the challenges faced by disadvantaged communities.

Jahangirnagar University’s student support infrastructure includes residential halls, a Medical Centre, a Students Counselling and Guidance Centre, and a university library. Together, these facilities provide accommodation and access to health, counselling, and learning resources within the university environment.

Scholarships, financial assistance opportunities, and student services are relevant to SDG 1: No Poverty because they can help address barriers to educational participation.

Jahangirnagar University’s research on poverty, food security, social inequality, governance, and development offers knowledge relevant to public policy. Faculty research assignments for organisations such as the World Bank, UNDP, JICA, and BRAC demonstrate engagement with development-related research. The Institute of Remote Sensing and GIS also produces geospatial knowledge intended to support informed decision-making on complex environmental and socioeconomic challenges.
