Former DU VC Niaz Ahmed joins Grameen University as senior adviser

Grameen
University Trust has announced that Prof Niaz Ahmed Khan, PhD, former
vice-chancellor of Dhaka University, has joined Grameen University as senior
strategic adviser with formal approval from Dhaka University.
The
announcement came through a post from the official facebook page of Yunus
Centre on Tuesday.
Following
government approval in March 2025 from the Ministry of Education, and subsequent
clearance in April 2025 from the University Grants Commission (UGC),
preparations are underway to begin academic activities alongside the
construction of a permanent campus for Grameen University.
The campus
is being built on around 33 acres (approximately 100 bighas) of land in
Kaliganj, Gazipur.
The first
portion of land was acquired in 2014, but repeated delays in government
approval stalled the project, said the official post.
After a
detailed review, inspection and evaluation under existing laws and regulations
governing private universities, the institution finally received official
approval last year, it added.
