During my undergraduate studies in
chemistry, I actively participated in various national and international NGO
volunteering activities. This involved extensive fieldwork, including
door-to-door campaigns across diverse regions, raising awareness about critical
issues. Additionally, I immersed myself in various development symposia, youth
development programs, leadership workshops, science conferences, meetings, and
expos. These enriching experiences allowed me to learn from renowned
policymakers and specialists with expertise in sustainability and future crisis
mitigation, particularly focusing on water and waste management. Impact of
environmental issues, including the decline of major rivers in Bangladesh, (some
river already dead) on water quality and human well-being cause my passion for
finding solutions.
My key takeaway is that addressing complex
environmental challenges like water management requires collaborative efforts
beyond governmental initiatives. We need involvement from private industries with
expertise or any learner from social science and education backgrounds students
& teachers.
My proposed PhD project aims to address
these concerns by creating a global network of university students passionate
about water chemistry/management & sustainable development careers. We will
offer volunteering and internship opportunities aligned with each student's
area of study (water chemistry, environmental science, social science,
education, etc.).
These opportunities will involve:
Raising social awareness: Engaging
in door-to-door campaigns, with support from NGOs, clubs, and industries, to
educate communities about water conservation and reuse.
Waste management: Organizing plastic
and other waste collection and recycling drives, again with partner support.
The goal is to empower graduates from this
network to lead innovative water management solutions in their respective
regions. Additionally, fostering cross-cultural exchange within the network
will facilitate the sharing of methodologies and best practices several countries.
This project can be seen as a seed for transformative change, laying the
groundwork for a future where we collectively tackle water and environmental
crises.( we learn also new things from volunteers activities )
Expected outcomes:
1.Enhanced student development:
University students will gain valuable skills and critical hinking through collaboration with industry
and NGOs.
2.Increased societal awareness:
Door-to-door outreach and waste management initiatives will promote public
understanding of water preservation and environmental challenges.
3.Industry research insights:
Area-specific data collected through the project will guide industries in their
strategic decision-making and project development.
I believe this PhD project holds immense potential to contribute to a more sustainable future through collaborative, student-driven initiatives. I am eager to discuss this proposal further and explore its feasibility and research possibilities.
