BGMEA University of Fashion & Technology (BUFT)Starts Operation onMarch, 2012

BGMEA University of Fashion & Technology (BUFT) which was earlier known as BGMEA

Institute of Fashion & Technology (BIFT) has been dedicated to train and develop skilled

manpower for the readymade garment, textile and allied sectors of Bangladesh. The aim is to

develop this university as a centre of excellence for producing technically competent humanresources through higher education, research and development to serve the nation. Sponsored

by BGMEA, this university started functioning as BGMEA Institute of Fashion & Technology

(BIFT) from 1999, a pioneer and leading training institute specialized in the apparel sector ofBangladesh. It started functioning from 2000 and was affiliated with the National University

until it was declared as a full-fledged private university i.e. BUFT in March 2012.

With the advent of the readymade garment industry in Bangladesh, the apex body of RMG

industries, Bangladesh Garments Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA)visualized the need for a world class education institution that will deliver quality training and

educational services to produce graduates and qualified practitioner and skilled personnel who

after completing their education from BUFT will join the export oriented garment industry inBangladesh and thereby, help filling up the vacuum of skilled manpower for the growing RMG

industry earning the major portion offoreign currency from the countrys export basket.

Another feature of Bangladesh garment and textile sector is the constraints of properly educated

and qualified mid level managers. As a result, this sector has to recruit and hire thousands of

expatriates with very high salary which drains out a substantial amount of our hard-earned

foreign currency. This is mainly due to lack of proper educational facilities and non availability

of training courses in the existing educational system of Bangladesh. To overcome thisproblem, BGMEA took a visionary step by establishing BGMEA Institute of Fashion &

Technology in 1999 and subsequently the initiative to upgrade this institute to a private

university is another historical landmark, which will enable the garment and apparel sector tocompete with the global competitors and increase its market share.

Essentially, skill development and enhancement of quality of manpower working in the RMG

sector through appropriate training and research & development has become a crucial factor at

this point of time. Skilled manpower increases productivity, reduces cost of operation and

enables the local industries produce goods at a lower cost and thus the industry becomes

competitive in the global market. At present, the export oriented readymade garments industrysector needs a large number of skilled manpower for its 5,000 factories in order to enable them

to produce quality products at a very competitive price. In this regard, BUFT as the Center of

Excellence in the Apparel Sector can play avery effective role. Since inception, this institutehas been offering courses of high standard, which are comparable to courses offered in the

developing world. BUFT maintains an excellent academic atmosphere to achieve highacademic standard for its reputation. As a result, most of the BUFT graduates normally enter

job market before publication of their final results.
