About Us

The Faculty of Agricultural Economics and Rural Development at Gazipur Agricultural University (GAU) [Formerly known as Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University (BSMRAU)] was inaugurated in 2012. The faculty of AERD is designed and structured to prepare scholars for successful career development in the public, private, and international world. There is a long-term mission to train and teach the scholars who can meet the demands of a new promising but also challenging period of Bangladesh agriculture. This faculty will educate students through knowledge and research in economic, social, political, and environmental dimensions of viable agricultural and rural development.

Objectives

The special characteristic of this faculty is that it combines areas of expertise derived from both sciences and the humanities. The agro-technical knowledge is essential for the evaluation of management intervention at the level of agricultural enterprises and the economic value of general measures of agricultural policy.
