About KBAD
Bangladesh is endowed with people, but has very limited natural resources and financial capital. By developing the people into human capital, we can overcome some of the limitations of our physical capital and at the same time lay the basis of generating capital resources. Education and skill development are the routes for creating human capital.
Institutionalization of KBAD
IUBAT established IUBAT Multipurpose Cooperative Society Ltd (IMCSL) with a capital of 50 million taka. Its goal is to provide repayable educational financing, scholarships, and support for students and families. Membership has reached 21,200+ individuals.
