The Centre for Advanced Studies and Thoughts (CAST) is an independent socio-political organization. Since 2022, it has worked for meaningful political changes through research, innovation, and advocacy.

CAST was established in November 2022 to address pressing challenges in governance, socio-economic equity, and global diplomacy. We believe that informed analysis and evidence-based policy-making are the cornerstones of sustainable progress.

Thinking about society's benefits and bringing a change in Bangladesh’s future, Prof. Dr. Mohammad Abdur Rob founded CAST. CAST invites academics, policymakers, civil society organizations, and thought leaders to partner with us in building a more equitable and prosperous future for Bangladesh and beyond.

We employ forward-thinking methods to design reforms that are not only effective but also sustainable.

Our Mission

We aim to spark significant political, economic, and social change through incisive analysis, research, and policy advocacy.

Our vision

Our vision is to act as a driving force behind revolutionary changes that improve social fairness, defend democratic governance, and raise Bangladesh's profile internationally.

CAST’s strategy design helps create a better future by solving complex problems with smart and effective plans. Here are some of our projects:

• Policy Reform
