Organizational Culture & Values

Values

DSK believes that Bangladesh was born in 1971, through a glorious liberation struggle. Its architects aspired for and dreamed about an independent, secular, diverse, humane, democratic, egalitarian state and society that was coined in the four basic principles inscribed in the National Constitution. DSK was established in line with the above spirit and feels that the organization shall be fully committed to implementing its projects with utmost sincerity, openness, honesty, transparency, and accountability for the benefit of poor people who are systematically and painfully denied of their rights and entitlements. (Excerpt from DSK Constitution)
