Message from Founder & Executive Director

Development Activities of Society (DAS) was established in Jhenaidah, Bangladesh in 1998. After incorporation, the organization has rendered development and project-oriented issues, implementing directly or in partnership with other government and non-governmental organizations. DAS undertakes a wide range of activities in the field of Non-Formal Education, Income Generating Activities, Human Development, Training and various social welfare activities. The participatory approach enhances the motivation of the staff members. DAS is very strict in financial management; all purchases are carefully planned, approved, recorded and checked, both by the internal financial staff as well as by external accountants. The beneficiaries are very motivated to participate in the activities run by DAS. The report of the programs described in these pages give you a conspicuous picture of the performance in the last tenure. We hope to rectify our vitality to achieve more in future. In conclusion, I take the opportunity to express our sincere thanks to the Chair, Members of the Executive Committee and the General Body who acted as a catalyst with good advice and guidance to step forward throughout the year.
