Government ought to give boost to these institutions and provide adequate funds. The paper invites attention of the government to improving the service conditions of professors enabling them to grow to the level they are capable of. Universities ought essentially to groom professors in innovation, patenting and entrepreneurship to world class standard, for without them universities cannot play a vital role in the generation of hi-tech employment in emerging skills in the changing world. The experience of Japan, USA, UNESCO, and the European Union in support of the theme of the paper is given in brief.

The goal of this study is to identify and evaluate the connection between the Gregorian and Hijri calendars. The paper aims at identifying how the interaction between both calendars can be used for good business forecasting. Aspects will include how the interaction increases or decreases demand. The factors of demand will be highly dependent on the events taking place in the two calendars. For example, the Hijri calendar is usually followed by the members of the Islamic faith. These events influence the way demand forecasting is done. For instance, Ramadan is a special holiday within the Hijri calendar where members of the Islamic faith are required to fast for a specific period. During this period, the demand of products offered by a business will decrease, mainly during the day when they are not required to eat. When forecasting demand, several elements must be considered among them as organizations' staffing. Furthermore, the main events in the two calendars affect the demand positively as well as negatively. While preparing for festivities, the demand for business products may increase. All the same, some of the effects are adverse such as the travelling of employees during the festivities, which results in the organizations being understaffed. A case is presented from the Hotel Industry which shows some of the factors that influence business forecasting.

Thermal power plant is an electricity generation industry involving several operating systems using fossil fuel. Among the operating systems, Lignite Handling System contributes several unsafe acts and conditions that could interrupt the normal working of the plant. A risk assessment is an essential step in protecting the plant from such scenario. The intention of Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment is to identify the most potential hazards and to assess the identified hazards by calculating their frequencies and consequences, after which risk assessment matrix is developed to attain the risk level by means of risk severity. Subsequently, risk level is assigned to each identified hazard for determining the corrective actions to control or eliminate the hazard. In this paper, a HIRA is prepared for the Lignite Handling System of Thermal power plant, and suggested the possible control measures and preventive actions to minimize or eliminate the risk of future occurrence.

Over the years, Bangladesh has developed a unique and attractive tourism market that has expanded its industry due to its natural beauty. Bangladesh is surrounded by the natural beauty of rivers, beaches, archeological sites, religious sites, hills, forests, waterfalls, and tea gardens. The Sundarbans, the historic mosque in Bagerhat City and the Buddhist Viharas in Paharpur are the three world heritage sites in Bangladesh out of 1007. To observe the beauty of nature, a large number of domestic and foreign tourists visit the country for its attractions. In 2018, about 2,67,209 tourists came to visit Bangladesh and to admire its beauty. Bangladesh Parjatan Corporation (BPC), Bangladesh Tourism Board (BTB), Bangladesh Biman, and Civil Aviation Authority, are the main statutory bodies with the Ministry of Civil Aviation and Tourism. Within the limitations of data availability, this working paper reaches the conclusion that Bangladesh has failed to present itself as a tourist destination. The study tries to focus on the striking tourist destinations and the participation of tourism in the economy of Bangladesh. The chief concern of the researchers is to point out the factors through which Bangladesh has the opportunity to become one of the best tourist destinations in the world in the near future. The study also provides some recommendations for the development of the tourism industry in Bangladesh.
Industrial accidents have been on the rise. However, the rate of accidents cannot even be compared to the monumental level of deaths which are still very much evident in the ongoing COVID 19 pandemic. During the lock-down, industries did not devise critical operation scenarios to handle above said barriers. Hence the country has faced large number of industrial accidents and fatal injuries. After returning to production 75 workers have been killed in 30 industrial accidents between May and July, and the number of accidents and deaths must be higher than that reported by Global Union Federation. Prevention and mitigation strategies are not sufficient to handle such a situation. This study unfolds the operational, mechanical and human factors behind the accidents.
