About Sadhan Verma, CEO, NBICT LAB

Sadhan Verma, the founder of NBICT LAB (North Bengal Information and Communication Technology Laboratory), is a prominent ICT trainer, entrepreneur, and data science instructor from Bangladesh.

Below are the details regarding his background, the motivation behind NBICT LAB, and his professional impact:

1. Academic Background & Personal Journey

Sadhan Verma’s path to becoming a tech leader was unconventional. He completed his Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) from the Faculty of Fisheries at Hajee Mohammad Danesh Science and Technology University (HSTU) in 2016.

Despite his background in biological science, he developed a profound interest in information technology. During his four years of graduation, he spent roughly five hours a day teaching himself various IT skills—ranging from Microsoft Office to web development—due to a perceived lack of dedicated IT skill development programs on his campus.

2. Founding of NBICT LAB

His journey as a trainer began informally when he started teaching his friends and juniors at HSTU. This eventually evolved into a more structured mission:

• 2017: He launched the “BCE ICT Training Program” to provide hands-on training to students and employees at HSTU.

   

• April 8, 2018: He officially founded NBICT LAB in Dinajpur.

   

• Motivation: The lab was created to bridge the gap between academic knowledge and the practical IT skills required for the 4th Industrial Revolution, specifically focusing on data-driven research.

3. Areas of Expertise

Sadhan Verma is highly specialized in data analysis and machine learning. His technical proficiency includes:

• Data Science Tools: Python, R, and IBM SPSS (Basic to Advanced).

• GIS & Remote Sensing: Using tools like ArcGIS Pro and QGIS.

• General ICT: Web development, graphic design, and advanced Microsoft Excel.

   

4. Professional Impact & Reach

He has built a significant reputation as an educator, both physically in North Bengal and through digital platforms:

• Training Volume: He has trained over 300 university teachers, 1,500+ undergraduate students, and 400+ postgraduate/Ph.D. researchers in data analysis and software tools.

   

• E-Learning: He founded https://www.google.com/search?q=CourseBangla.com and manages a popular YouTube channel (NBICT LAB) with over 21,000 subscribers, where he provides free tutorials in Bangla.

• Collaboration: He works closely with the a2i (Access to Information) program and ICT4E district ambassadors to train school and college teachers across the Rangpur division.

   

5. Core Philosophy

The guiding principle of his laboratory is “একটাই লক্ষ্য, হতে হবে দক্ষ” (One goal: to be skilled). His work focuses on making complex technologies—like Bioinformatics and Machine Learning—accessible to researchers who may not have a traditional computer science background.
