I am pleased to know that the Volume-4, Issue-1 of INQUEST, the journal of the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASS) of Bangladesh University of Professionals (BUP) is going to be published. I profoundly appreciate the diligence and endeavours of all who contributed to the process of sharing knowledge, ingenuity and scholarly insights through this journal. Valuable input by novice researchers and experts in the journal indicates the beaming future of research in different areas of arts and social sciences.
The quality of education imparted by academic institutions is not possible without research, its findings and proper documentation. I believe that it is now up to us - the educators, practitioners and students to continue this expansion of knowledge through innovative research and documentation.
The Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences of BUP has been trying its best to contribute to the realms of education and research. I hope and wish that INQUEST will certainly play a crucial role in advancing knowledge, disseminating research findings, and fostering intellectual growth.
BUP, since its inception in 2008, has blossomed into a prestigious hub of educational excellence. Our unwavering commitment lies in endorsing our motto “EXCELLENCE THROUGH KNOWLEDGE” for augmentation of knowledge and enhancement of expertise. BUP holds a steadfast belief in cultivating an all-encompassing and diverse educational ecosystem embodying our deep commitment to achieving excellence. In pursuit of this vision, we encourage interdisciplinary collaboration among passionate and dedicated scholars and educators. I think, together, they transcend conventional boundaries and transform the educational landscape of knowledge. I humbly invite all to write in the INQUEST for creating a positive impact on society through the power of research and innovations.
Finally, I sincerely appreciate the editorial board of the INQUEST for their commendable effort in making the issue a success. I appreciate and congratulate all the contributors/authors for the publication of their scholarly articles in this journal.
