Cabinet approves draft bill of Kurigram Agricultural University

The cabinet on Monday approved in principle the draft of Kurigram Agricultural University Bill, 2020 to develop agriculture in the northern districts through research.

“It’ll be a prototype of the existing agricultural universities,” said the cabinet secretary, adding that now there are 153 universities – 46 public and 107 private —in the country.
