RDRS established the North Bengal Institute (NBI) in Rangpur to support its promotion of a pro-poor, advocacy-based agenda, across the working area and beyond, and to expand the regional capacity to search out, alanyse and find solutions for existing and emerging development issues. Although it has so far operated on a modest scale, the NBI's resources have allowed RDRS to build on its significant regional presence and to activity engage in a constructive knowledge-based |
 |
empowerment process through academic and practical research studies combined with media promotion of ideas, experiments and projects, both alone and in partnership with other national and international institutions. |
RDRS has a research collaboration programme with the Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU) under witch post-graduate students conduct field research in the RDRS working area in partial fulfillment of the requirement of their academic courses. The Dhaka University Refugee and Migratory Movements Research Unit (RMMRU) has just concluded and published jointly with RDRS/NBI a research study report on the widespread and perennial problem of internally displaced people as a result of river erosion in northwest Bangladesh. The diversity and extension of RDRS field programme continues to attract students/interns from abroad (under the RDRS Internship Programme). In recent years, many students from Finland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, United Kingdom and Canada have completed their short-term internship or academic attachment with RDRS/NBI.
