UGC already drew out the connectivity road-map for all the universities named ‘Bangladesh Research and Higher Education Network (BdREN)’.
“To bring all the higher education institutions under the connectivity programs across the country, the authorities have already subscribed 3,000 km long ‘Dark Fiber’ line for 20 years”, said UGC Chairman Prof AK Azad Chowdhury.
