Metrology, the science of measurement, plays a crucial role in Bangladesh’s industries, healthcare, trade, and research. Accurate measurements ensure quality control in manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and construction. However, challenges such as outdated equipment, lack of skilled professionals, and insufficient research facilities limit the effective application of metrology and applied science. The absence of standardized calibration in industries affects product quality and international competitiveness.
Solutions
To advance metrology and applied science, Bangladesh needs to invest in modern laboratories, advanced measuring instruments, and skilled workforce training. Strengthening regulatory bodies, enforcing international measurement standards, and promoting research collaborations with global institutions can improve accuracy and innovation. Government and private sector partnerships can further enhance industrial growth and scientific development.
