The ultimate purpose of BCYSA is to promote both country's
philosophy, culture, policies, and positive diplomatic relationship through all
possible effective activities that the member of BCYSA could become committed
and visionary to be the ambassador of China to Bangladesh that they can make a
tie to enhance cooperation between the two countries and deeper understanding
among people of two great friendly nations and represent the legitimate
aspirations and rights of Bangladeshis residing in China.
From independence onwards, Bangladeshi students and
professionals have been traveling to China. Despite a long time has passed, no
organization has been formed with Bangladeshi students and professionals living
in China prior to 2016. Most of the students and professionals were involved in
small groups through various social media platforms. Many have been working
hard to bring all students and professionals living in China under one umbrella
for their welfare and cooperation.
Soon after coming to China to pursue his Ph.D., the founding President of BCYSA, Professor Dr. Md. Shahabul Haque has felt the necessity of a
voluntary organization for the Bangladeshi students and professionals residing
in China. Fortunately, many students and professionals also expressed interest
when he expressed his desire to form such an organization. Subsequently, while
he was on a visit to China Radio International in Beijing, China, he met with
Madam Yu Guangyue Anandi, Head of Bangla Department of Chinese Media Group, and
shared his interest to form an organization of Bangladeshi students and
professionals and she praised and encouraged the initiative.
Afterward, having held a meeting with a group of enthusiast individuals in China, on November 25, 2016, a new organization was formed with 13 members under the leadership of Professor Dr. Md. Shahabul Haque. As we know, this is the first and largest organization of Bangladeshi students and professionals living in China. Since then, every year BCYSA has been organizing its annual general meeting with the help of BCYSA's executive committee. And now, in its fifth year, BCYSA is run by its fifth executive committee.
BCYSA launched its website back in 2017 and operates all
its activities through this online platform. BCYSA's online Bengali bi-annual "Mahaprachir" started its journey in June 2019 and the BCYSA-online
news portal started its journey in October 2019 and has been publishing up to
now. The organization also has a research wing where professionals in various
fields are trained by experts. Every year, BCYSA presents the "BCYSA
Community Award" to Bangladeshi students and professionals living in China
in recognition of their exemplary achievements and contributions in bridging
the gap and building friendships between the two countries.
In addition, BCYSA assists Bangladeshi students in
obtaining scholarships from Chinese universities, employment in Chinese
institutions, and business in China. BCYSA also provides assistance to individuals seeking help in various universities and cities in China. In this
regard, BCYSA’s campus representatives play a vital role with regard to
providing assistance for people in need. On the whole, BCYSA plays a
phenomenal role to promote both country's philosophy, culture, and positive diplomatic
relations between the two countries.
