January 09, 2011: ISRP researchers from Japan presented their research findings at the seminar organized by GCC at Grameen Bank bhabon auditorium. Representatives from various concerns were also in the seminar.

Dividing into 4 groups 24 students searched the problems in Education, Health, Waste management and Water & Sanitation at Ekhlaspur Union. Professor Seichiro Yunekura from Hitotsubashi University of Japan also worked as one of the group member in group Water & Sanitation. GCC arranged a meeting between Japanese guest and UP members, Teachers and Imam Sahebs which was presiding by Up Chairman of Ekhlaspur at the first day. In their 5 days tour (4^th to 8^th January) all the groups visited their related concerns, interviewed people, discussed with villagers & respective officials about their searching & shared their findings. They also suggested the probable solutions of the respective problems to the local people. One of these efforts was an important presentation about Waste management condition of local market ‘Ekhlaspur Bazar’ generated by ICT support which was greeted by the audience. For breaking the monotonous research work there was a tiny fashion show and catwalk performed by Japanese guests with the help of GCC official Faria Haque which was enjoyed greatly by local people as well as Japanese.
