The Osmani Centre for Peace and Security Studies (OCPASS) is an intellectual body and a Think, established on May 2, 2025, and registered under ‘The Societies Registration Act 1860.’ The OCPASS would work as an autonomous body governed by a Board of Directors and remain affiliated to Bangladesh Army. Named after General MAG Osmani, Commander-in-Chief of the War of Liberation of Bangladesh, the Centre aims to promote expert and scholarly analysis of issues concerning national and international interest on peace, security and defence. OCPASS will integrate military and civilian scholars and expertise, fostering collaboration among policy makers, academics, members from civil society, diplomats, journalists and defence officials to provide balanced and inclusive perspectives.

OCPASS philosophy is, "Aim high even at the risk of miss than aim low and hit,” while the moto is, “peace and security through wisdom,” underscores our commitment to excellence, ambition and intellectual courage. Guided by the principles of meritocracy, inclusivity and impartiality, OCPASS serves as an independent platform for intellectual and academic pursuits, dedicated to fostering a robust national strategic culture.

Our primary objective is to advance national interests through comprehensive peace and security studies. We prioritize informed discussions on diplomacy (military diplomacy), deterrence, sovereignty, territorial integrity, existential threats to defence and security, and strategies to counter hostile designs. Our ultimate goal is to sustain peace, prevent violence, and contribute meaningfully to strategic policy-making processes.

We invite policymakers, academics, researchers, and stakeholders to engage with us in dialogue, collaboration, and knowledge-sharing. Together, we can build a safer, more secure and peaceful future.

Thank you for your interest in OCPASS.
