Pundra University of Science and Technology (Bengali: পুণ্ড্র বিজ্ঞান ও প্রযুক্তি বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়) is a private university in Bogra, Bangladesh. This university obtains approval from UGC and Government of People's Republic of Bangladesh. Pundra (also known as Pundra, Paundra, Paundraya, etc.) was the branch of one of the most developed civilizations of ancient west Bengal, now a part of northern Bangladesh. The civilization of Pundra was not established overnight—it had to go through the evolutionary process of thousands of years. A considerable number of Bangladeshi people today are actually the successors of the people of the Pundra civilization.
