Why BDResearch.org.bd?

The Internet has brought about revolutionary opportunities in the way today's research is conducted, disseminated and used in spheres of business, academia and the government. The whole world of information is now virtually a few "clicks" away. The research scenario in Bangladesh, however, has hardly benefited from these opportunities despite the immense scope for improvement. In a study performed by DNet(Development through Access to Network Resources) it was found that in a typical research conducted in Bangladesh up to 40% of total costs is spent on information search and collection.

Apart from the cost and availability of the Internet, there is another important factor, which discourages the use of Internet for research in Bangladesh - the lack of easy accessibility to required information.

Online information is scattered all over the World Wide Web and it is often not possible to quickly know about the existence and availability of a particular piece of information.

BDResearch.org facilitates fill this gap between the source of information and the point of its need. In an environment where Internet usage fees are still high, it will serve as a categorized and regularly updating online directory through which relevant information can be quickly tracked and downloaded.
