Sher-e-Bangla Agriculture University (SAU) is a higher agricultural education institution located in the heart of the capital of agro-based Bangladesh, where students from almost all parts of the country are studying to become agriculturists. They are committed to contributing their best in the development of Bangladesh agriculture.

However, it is a matter of regret that SAU is offering courses under only one faculty, i.e. Faculty of Agriculture. Many citizens of the country consider this as inappropriate and unprofitable on the part of a national public university to run with only one faculty. It is not only a deprivation to the students interested to pursue higher education in different fields of agricultural science, but also to the country's farming community.

To speak the truth, the SAU syndicate had long ago approved the opening of three new faculties, viz. (i) Faculty of Animal Science (ii) Faculty of Fisheries and (iii) Faculty of Agri-Business & Management at SAU. SAU can start operation of those faculties only after receiving clearance from the UGC which is under process.

It is expected that the UGC would expedite the process, thereby allowing SAU to open the above mentioned three new faculties in the greater national interest.
