Message from the DG

Please let me extend a very warm welcome to all visitors to the Gyantapas Abdur Razzaq Foundation web site.

It was dedicated to the proposition, which eventually became its vision statement, that it will seek “to become a premier institution of intellectual excellence engaged in the pursuit of learning and scholarship on issues relevant to Bangladesh from the perspective of the social sciences, arts and the humanities”. The Gyantapas Abdur Razzaq Bidyapeeth came into existence in 2015 to become a library initially built around his rich and eclectic personal collection, but is being augmented with subscriptions to current magazines and journals, addition of new books, and the incorporation of contemporary technological assets.
