I live in Mohammadpur, which has the highest density of educational institutions (per square mile). And this fact becomes clear by judging the huge traffic jams created every working day by hundreds of cars and other vehicles on Asad Avenue and the surrounding areas. Private universities and IT institutes are also increasing regularly in the area. This hi-tech learning centres are very popular these days. The computer education has become a necessity as computer skills create better options.

Hundreds of coaching centres have also sprung up all around the city, keeping the students and the cash registers busy all the time. We need educational and political dredging.
