Center for Ethics Education (CEE) Officially Launched


We live in a society where signs of moral breakdown are visible to all of us. However, this phenomenon has not been thoroughly studied or researched in the context of Bangladesh yet. If left unaddressed, the moral and ethical crisis we face today can leave detrimental and lasting effects on our social fabric. With this in mind, the Dhaka Ahsania Mission (DAM) and the North American Bangladeshi Islamic Community (NABIC) decided to create a joint venture that would work exclusively on ethics.

We are glad to share that we officially launched the Center for Ethics Education (CEE) on January 13, 2018. The launching event was held at the seminar room of the Ahsanullah University of Science and Technology (AUST). A workshop was organized prior to the inauguration in which 9 groups of school, college and university students shared their ideas on moral and ethical problems of everyday life.

The panel of speakers included reputed personalities like Mr. Kazi Rafiqul Alam, President of the DAM; Professor Dr. AMM Safiullah, Vice Chancellor of the AUST; Professor Dr. Kazi Shariful Alam, Treasurer of the AUST; and Dr. Rashed Nizam, President of the NABIC.
