Organisations and roles

Not titles but charges — which organisation, since when, and what happened under that charge.

Public role

Bangladeshi Students' Support Association in Japan (BSSAJ)

在日バングラデシュ学生支援協会 · bssaj.org

Role
Founder and President (代表理事)
Period
Since 26 April 2025

An association of experienced Japan-based consultants that supports Bangladeshi students and workers before and after arrival. Under his leadership its work has grown beyond individual support into policy dialogue with both governments.

  • Elected President on 30 April 2025. An executive council of more than 60 approved members, with General Secretary Md Nazrul Islam and Senior Vice-President Khan Mohammad Mofiz Uddin, alongside associate, adviser, student-representative and honorary tiers.
  • A public register of member agencies, regular meetings presenting the annual report and next year's vision, and a convening committee for every event — binding the association into a structure of accountability.
  • On 13 May 2025 presented a memorandum to the Bangladesh Embassy in Tokyo and introduced the association's members to the Ambassador.
  • Under his leadership: a student-awareness seminar in Dhaka (August 2025), the Japanese Speech Contest and Japan Guideline Seminar (December 2025 — 50 nominees, 15 finalists; with the involvement of Education Adviser Professor Dr C. R. Abrar), and a reception for JLPT achievers (September 2026).
  • Joint events with the Bangladesh Embassy in Tokyo (April 2026) and Sendai (August 2026, BSSAJ's fourth seminar) to encourage Japanese language schools to accept Bangladeshi students; Nagoya is next (October 2026).
  • Requested dialogue with officials of Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs on three issues: the 28-hour weekly work limit against living costs, documentation hurdles, and JLPT/JFT-Basic seat shortages.
Collaboration

Association of Japanese Language Institutes in Bangladesh (AJLIB)

Role
Joint-planning partner
Period
Since 2025

Active since 2019, AJLIB's members send more than 70% of Bangladesh's students to Japan; AJLIB and BSSAJ together account for more than 90%. The five-year plan for 55,000 students is a joint undertaking.

  • On 16 April 2025, with about 1,200 COE-holders unable to lodge visa files, joined AJLIB's human chain in front of VFS in Dhaka; national media coverage led to an order to accept files promptly.
  • Joint meetings with AJLIB on students' documentation problems; agreement with AJLIB's President and General Secretary on the five-year plan.
