STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

It was 1995 when I was born in a very small pretty village of Bangladesh. Countrysides were surrounded
with green plants and large agricultural fields of crops. I spent my childhood in my village and then
moved in Rajshahi. As I came from an agricultural family, I always familiar with water management,
energy usage, irrigation, fertilizer, crops and many agricultural ups and downs. I am a witness of poverty,
famine and different natural disasters due to environmental disorder. From that time, I have been
dreaming to do something for deprived people of our society as most of the people here are illiterate and
don’t aware of their surrounding environment. As I was growing, I continued exploring my knowledge
and creativity on various scientific studies like Environmental Studies, Chemistry, Physics, and
Mathematics etc. Although technology develops day by day nevertheless different contaminants are
entering into our environment and pollute water, air, soil gradually. The water is one of the mentionable
parts of our environment that is being polluted thoroughly. At this moment, I feel lucky because I will be
able to study and do research on Sustainable Environment at King Abdullah University of Science &
Technology University that will take me one step ahead to reach my goal. I also plan to run a private
enterprise in the field of water conserving landscaping adapted technology in my country after completing
study. I will make it known to the world that Bangladesh’s youth generation could also create its own
water conserving technology. I am also highly motivated installing energy efficient appliances, recycling
process, installing tap water instead of using bottled water that will ensure a sustainable environment.

I believe the education in graduation level is not only a continuation of college studies but also a process
in which the students can do independent research. A study of The United Nations Food and Agriculture
Organization estimates that about 815 million people of the 7.6 billion people in the world, or one in
tenth, were suffering from chronic undernourishment (almost all the hungry people in all developing
countries) in 2016 and the report badly allured me. Therefore, I dream to get enrolled in an MSc program
before doing my doctoral research to sharpen the focus of my interests in the field I decided and to do so,
I believe University of King Abdullah University of Science & Technology Univrsity will be open its
lap for nurturing my knowledge and ambition also.

Alongside, I have successfully completed BSc Engg. in Applied Chemistry & Chemical Engineering from
the University of Rajshahi with CGPA 3.24 on the scale of 4.00 securing the top 10% position. In the last
year of my undergraduate study, I did a project work “ Quantitative Analysis of Heavy Metals in Soil”
under the supervision of Dr. Sha Md. Shahan Shahriar, Assistant Professor, Rajshahi university. This
project explores heavy metals removal from soil, garments effluent and other relevant sources that
contaminate soil and water. A few months ago , I joined a project titled “Water sampling techniques for
the assessment of inorganic and organic pollutant in the indoor and outdoor water” and successfully done
within six months. It was an amazing feeling for me to finish that job and scored a remarkable mark.
That's why I think, the major Sustainable Environment will help me to enhance my knowledge on
continuing my exploration for every environmental segments , and it will be a huge opportunity for me.
Because the knowledge of this project will help me to find out a solution.
