I am really happy to learn that the 2nd issue, 8th volume of BUP Journal is going to be published soon. BUP Journal contains research papers of multidisciplinary nature, from individuals or group of individuals who are academicians or practitioners from diverse backgrounds. BUP always strives to maintain or uphold the quality in education and research, which is reflected in its work and products. I am sure that the upcoming BUP Journal will exhibit quality work through new ideas and innovations and will make contribution towards the advancement of scholarly knowledge and ideas. I am delighted to see that BUP Journal has transcended the expected level of importance within its small number of volumes since its beginning.
Within a short span of time after its journey from 2008, BUP has made worthwhile progress in its academic and research activities. The university offers regular under-graduate programmes under 16 different departments. Most of the departments also offer Master’s programmes. Our BUP graduates have started to join the mainstream jobs in the country making good impressions through their job performance. Equally, Center for Higher Studies and Research (CHSR), which offers research-based MPhil and PhD programmes, has earned name and fame among the academicians as well as practitioners. A good number of academicians and professionals from different backgrounds of the society are enrolled in these programmes. The ‘Bangabandhu Chair’ of the university offers splendid platform to undertake project and research works based on Bangladesh and related subjects. BUP, with its unique management, exemplary discipline, timely completion of courses and heart-soothing panoramic view, is very appealing to the researchers and students as their destination for higher studies. Our drive with utmost sincerity will continue to endorse the scholarly activities of researchers.
BUP is successfully conducting online classes from the beginning of the pandemic. As a result, the academic activity of this institution had minimal affect during this difficult period. The students got all out support for their internet connectivity and all other related needs.
I would like to thank and congratulate the authors whose paper have been selected for publication. I also thank the learned reviewers who have critically reviewed the papers and helped to improve the quality of the articles. My sincere appreciation goes to the Editorial Advisors, Editorial Board and others involved for their commendable contribution.
May the Almighty bless us all for our sincere endeavors.

I feel enormous pleasure to see the 2nd Issue of 8th volume of the ‘BUP JOURNAL’ coming to light. It has been a long, but worth-the-time venture. The journal is dedicated to ensuring high standards of quality. We received a good number of research articles, all of which were sent to renowned resource persons for blind peer review. And, after a rigorous selection process, this Issue came out with seven research oriented articles. I believe the articles would suit the BUP motto ‘Excellence Through Knowledge’. As this Journal is of a multidimensional nature, we had to accommodate articles on various field of studies and disciplines like marketing, oceanography, development studies, accounting, philosophy, environment and banking etc. It is worth mentioning that the BUP Journal is registered with E-ISSN.
Notable that the members of the Editorial Board and the assessors worked really hard in assessing the articles referred to them. The articles that have been finally selected for publication had to undergo a strict assessment process. I would like to convey my special thanks to the learned members of the Editorial Board who have made their valuable comments to standardize the articles and enrich the journal. I also express my heartfelt gratefulness to all the reviewers, without whose meticulous and invaluable cooperation the BUP Journal would not be a success.
I am momentously indebted to the Chief Patron and Vice Chancellor of BUP, Major General Md Moshfequr Rahman, SGP, SUP, ndc, psc for his immense support, personal interest and guidance throughout the whole process.
We welcome any kind of comments or suggestions which may contribute to progress the quality of the Journal further.
