History
The people of this town have been demanding for a long time to establish a university in Satkhira district, which is affected by natural disasters in the southwestern part of the country.[4]
Various organizations, including the Satkhira District Citizens' Committee, drew the attention of the government in various ways, including holding meetings, presenting memorandums, for the establishment of the university. Former Health Minister AFM Ruhal Haque and local public representatives presented the issue in the Parliament at various times. On behalf of the Satkhira District Citizens Committee, the then District Commissioner SM Mustafa Kamal presented the demand for the establishment of a university along with various demands for the development of Satkhira. Later, Deputy Commissioner SM Mustafa Kamal highlighted the rationale for establishing the university in the fortnightly confidential report of the Field Administration Liaison Division of the Cabinet Division. On March 7, 2021, Hon'ble Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina gave the nod to the proposal for the construction of Science and Technology University at Satkhira. Since then the official process of establishing a university in Satkhira started[4][5]
On November 2, 2023, the 25th and last session of the 11th National Parliament passed the 'Satkhira University of Science and Technology Bill, 2023'. The former education minister Dipu Moni presented the bill.[5]
