Pubali Bank PLC Gifts Microbus to BCSIR, Reinforcing Commitment to Social Responsibility
In a show of support for scientific and industrial research in Bangladesh, Pubali Bank PLC has gifted a microbus to the Bangladesh Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (BCSIR) in August 2025. The handover ceremony was attended by senior officials from both organizations, including Mohammad Ali, Managing Director and CEO of Pubali Bank, and Dr Md Hosne Ara Begum, Member (Science and Technology) of BCSIR [1].
Mohammad Ali emphasized that Pubali Bank is not solely a profit-oriented organization. He stated, "Our focus extends beyond banking profits to contributing to society and social progress." This microbus donation is a testament to this philosophy, as it aims to improve BCSIR's mobility and operational capacity, potentially facilitating more efficient scientific work [1].
The gift is a symbol of friendship and mutual cooperation between Pubali Bank PLC and BCSIR. It also marks a hands-on, supportive role in national development through resource allocation to public institutions. This is not the first time Pubali Bank has engaged in corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives. However, detailed historical data on the full extent of its CSR activities could not be found in the immediate search results [1].
Md Shahidul Haque Patwary, Secretary of BCSIR, Md Toufiq Elahi Chowdhury, Member (Finance) of BCSIR, Md Iftekhar Ahmed Chowdhury, Member (Administration) of BCSIR, Public Relations Officer Mohammad Mizanur Rahman, Mohammad Belal Hossain, Head of Science Laboratory Branch, and Md Samsujjaman, General Manager and Regional Head, Dhaka Central Region of Pubali Bank, were also present at the ceremony [1].
