Achievements
Japanese Universities Alumni Association in Bangladesh (JUAAB) is the association of the people who obtained their Bachelor, Master or PhD degrees from Japanese universities. JUAAB was established in 2000 on the historical occasion of the 30th year of Japan’s diplomatic recognition to the People’s Republic of Bangladesh. JUAAB’s objective was being conscious of the need for forging and fostering the bonds of friendship and amity between the people of Bangladesh and Japan on exchange of academic knowledge, socio-cultural understanding and mutual appreciation of our age-old heritage. After 20 years, JUAAB has achieved an esteemed position, not only in strengthening bondage and friendship between Japan and Bangladesh, but also in mobilizing resources towards self-sustenance. JUAAB started with a few members but at present, the number of members has risen to 700. Presently, JUAAB has entered into a new era of development in every sphere of its working arenas through harnessing the strength and expertise of JUAAB team and exploring all available resources. With continuous practicing of democratic principles and norms, JUAAB has become the symbol of unity and strength that ultimately trigger these developments in a prolific fashion. JUAAB is now proud of having its own permanent floor space (about 4,000 SFT) in a modern building at Farmgate.
