President
At LoCOS, we believe that true development begins at the grassroots. Since 1998, our mission has been to empower the marginalized communities of Khulna, Bagerhat, and Satkhira through inclusive, sustainable, and community-led initiatives. Today, as we honor our farmers for innovating new rice varieties, we celebrate the power of local knowledge and resilience. This achievement reflects our shared vision of food security, environmental sustainability, and gender equity. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to our dedicated team, partners, and the inspiring people we serve. Together, we will continue to build a more just and resilient future.
