A research team from the Department of Sociology, East West University, has secured BDT 7,00,000 (seven lakh) from the BIAM Foundation Research Center (BFRC) for the 2025–2026 fiscal year for their research project titled, "Managing Occupational Stress and Promoting Well-Being Among BCS (Administration) Officers in Bangladesh: Policy Implications for Sustainable Administrative Efficiency.”

The research team is led by Mr. Helal Uddin, Senior Lecturer, Department of Sociology, as the Principal Investigator (PI). The Co-investigators (Co-PIs) include Dr. Anisur Rahman Khan, Associate Professor; Dr. Rasel Hussain, Assistant Professor; and Ms. Ruma Parvin, Lecturer, all from the Department of Sociology, EWU.

The funded project aims to generate evidence-based policy recommendations to improve stress management and enhance well-being among public administrators. The study seeks to contribute to building a more sustainable and efficient civil service in Bangladesh.

It is also worth noting that the same research team was awarded BDT 7,00,000 (seven lakh) from the Bangladesh Public Administration Training Centre (BPATC) for another research project.

These achievements not only reflect the department’s growing research capacity but also strengthen East West University’s role in shaping policy-relevant research for national administrative development.
