It pays special attention to crucial and critical areas that are inadequately attended or not attended; highlights inequity; arouses debate around contemporary national interest issues; and provides information and ideas to the policy makers, development thinkers, activists and journalists. Exposé of human rights abuses against indigenous peoples and other disadvantaged or marginal communities and abuse against nature is a strategic activity of the organization.

This ultimately leads to the improvement of quality of life of the people of Bangladesh and helps Bangladesh to become a bona fide participant in the globalization process.
