    Life long dream:

To establish a 'model village' in my home country. It's an action oriented research base pilot project taken on the approach of comprehensive village development model in my native village of Bangladesh named South Nosoruddin Model Village. This project was first initiated in 2008 which is now still in research phase. The fundamental approach of this project is to utilize the local resources in a planned manner where different aspects of planning like land use, economic, social, religious and environmental will be considered. The moral of this project is to demonstrate that how Islamic ethics and principles can revitalize the society as a whole, which also can be proved in both theoretically and practically by this project. InshaAllah, I wish to start the implementation phase soon.
