The Board of Trustees of the Dinabandhu Foundation Trust always had a desire of doing some community outreach activities to improve the quality of life of the communities.The Board entrusted the Trident Group of Institutions with the responsibility of achieving this purpose.

The institution then formed an ISR committee with the following members:
