Our Projects

The Kendrobimukhi Emerging Social Researchers’ Fund (KESRF) is a pioneering initiative launched by Kendrobimukhi to support undergraduate students in Bangladesh engaged in social science research and addresses the critical need for research funding among undergraduates in Bangladesh. KESRF aims to provide a grant of BDT 10,000 every year to a Bangladeshi undergraduate social researcher selected through a call for proposals and a two-step evaluation process consisting of peer review and a proposal defense. Proposal themes encompass a wide range of topics relevant to Bangladesh, including Social Inequality, Gender Studies, Urbanization, Environmental Policy, Cultural Anthropology, and Public Health.

Eligibility criteria for KESRF are limited to third or fourth-year Bangladeshi undergraduate students pursuing degrees in social science disciplines such as Economics, Sociology, Anthropology, Gender Studies, and Development Studies, etc. By encouraging research on pressing social issues, KESRF aims to amplify the voices of young researchers and contribute to the intellectual growth of Bangladesh’s academic community. This initiative not only supports academic exploration but also prepares students to address real-world challenges through rigorous research and critical analysis.

Navigating academia and social research can be daunting without proper resources and guidance. However, no one should have to do it alone, as the Kendrobimukhi Peer Support Network (KPSN) connects aspiring social scientists with experienced peers—students in higher studies abroad, research associates, and senior scholars—who provide guidance on research, academic writing, and study abroad opportunities.

Through structured mentorship, hands-on workshops, and peer-led training sessions, KSSN creates a collaborative learning space where students refine research questions, strengthen their academic skills, and gain practical insights into scholarship applications and global academic transitions. By bridging experience gaps and fostering community-driven learning, KSSN ensures that knowledge flows seamlessly, empowering students to excel in their academic and professional journeys.

Great research begins with great questions, and Kendrobimukhi Ideas and Inquiry Collective (KRIIC) is where those questions take shape. Designed as a dynamic space for brainstorming and inquiry, this initiative fosters discussions on emerging social issues through prompt-based conversations, resource sharing, and online roundtable discussions. Each session is structured to encourage participants to exchange ideas, explore secondary research materials, and refine their research focus with peer input. By bringing together curious minds, KRIIC transforms individual curiosity into collective academic exploration—one discussion at a time.

From the headlines of newspapers to the realities of everyday life, social problems shape our world. Kendrobimukhi Critical Dialogue Series is a platform dedicated to bringing these issues into academic and public discourse, encouraging critical conversations on contemporary social challenges. By curating discussions based on pressing topics—from inequality and governance to cultural shifts and environmental concerns—we provide a structured space for students, researchers, and the wider public to engage in meaningful dialogue. More than just discussions, this initiative seeks to inspire action, motivating individuals to think critically and contribute to positive societal change.

Knowledge should not be confined to academia—it should be accessible, engaging, and transformative. Kendrobimukhi Global Lecture Series (KGLS) brings together undergraduate researchers, scholars, and activists in a conversational, open-access format to discuss real-world social challenges and academic findings. By bridging the gap between elite scholars and grassroots activists, this initiative fosters inclusive dialogue on research-driven social change. Through interactive sessions, panel discussions, and first-hand experiences, KGLS ensures that research is not just read, but heard, discussed, and applied in real life.
