Pioneer of 100% Export-Oriented RMG in Bangladesh
M. Noorul Quader, the founder of Desh Group of Companies, laid the foundation of Bangladesh's first 100% export-oriented RMG sector. His decision to send 130 people to Daewoo Corporation for 6 months to learn about technical and marketing training overseas, including 18 women, reflected a transformative approach to workforce empowerment. Mr Quader's initiatives, including the Back-To-Back letter of credit banking system and custom bonded warehousing facility at the factory level, overcoming operational and financial obstacles, enhanced the global competitiveness of Desh Group of Companies, establishing a new industry standard.

Following Mr. Quader's demise in 1995, the M Noorul Quader Foundation was established in 1999.
