Some groundbreaking steps taken by the current Board of Trustees:

Meeting and exchange of views with Hon'ble Prime Minister: Board members met and exchanged views with Hon'ble Prime Minister. In the said meeting Hon'ble Prime Minister was briefed in detail about the activities of Kalyan Trust. It may be noted that this is the first official meeting and exchange of views between the members of the Trustee Board and the Prime Minister in the last 21 years after the establishment of the Kalyan Trust. Provision of welfare benefits in new scale: The present Board of Trustees is providing welfare benefits to retired teaching staff as per the 2009 rank and new pay scale. In the new pay scale, only salary has been paid by the government. No amount paid for welfare benefits or retirement. Welfare benefits are being paid from the welfare trust's own funds. As a result, in the new scale of the financial year 2009-2010, the welfare trust has to pay an additional amount of around 60 (sixty) crores from its own fund to meet the welfare benefits of the retired teaching staff. Digitization of Welfare Trust: Digitization of Welfare Trust through Access to Information (A2I) project has been undertaken with the support of Hon'ble Prime Minister for easy access to welfare benefits of retired teaching staff. As a result, the retired teachers and employees will get their due money through modern technology sitting at their homes in a very short period of time by applying through the computer from the remote areas of the country using the online method.
Eradication of irregularities, bribery and corruption: Kalyan Trust has faced numerous allegations of irregularities, bribery and corruption in the past. Like taking one person's money to another, same person accepting checks more than once, not following application serial etc. These irregularities, bribery and corruption have been strictly suppressed after the current Board of Trustees assumed responsibility. Welfare benefits are now provided in order of application on “first come first served” basis. There is no scope for irregularities here.

Abolition of Compulsory Submission of Accomplishment Roll: Accomplishment roll was one of the hurdles in getting welfare check for retired teaching staff. 30/40 years old qualification roll is waived due to non-proper preservation, natural deterioration, loss, obscurity etc. As a result, about 500 applicants aged 7/8 years got their welfare benefits after a long wait. Also all other teaching staff are enjoying this facility.

Sending letters informing applicants of application errors: Before the present Board of Trustees assumed responsibility, there was no system to know if there were any errors in the applications of the applicants. As a result, hundreds of applications remained pending for a long time due to audit objections. After the current Board of Trustees took charge, the audit objections were sent to the applicant's home or by phone in some cases. As a result, the applicant is getting the opportunity to receive welfare benefits quickly by submitting the required documents.

Regular Board Meetings: Regular board meetings are being held to increase the activity dynamics of Kalyan Trust. Besides, the provision of board meeting every three months was in force. In the previous board meeting, instead of three months, it was decided to hold board meetings every two months.
Establishment of chain of command: In the past there was no chain of command in welfare trusts. A chaotic atmosphere prevailed everywhere. As a result there was discontinuity in all activities. Chain of command has been established in the office after the current board of trustees took charge, order has returned to work. The quality of service has increased manifold.
Special scheme for freedom fighters teaching staff: Brave freedom fighters are the best children of the nation. Today's independent sovereign Bangladesh is the result of their sacrifice. Keeping this in mind, special arrangements are made to speed up welfare checks to the heroic freedom fighter teaching staff. There are precedents of veteran freedom fighters handing over checks to retired teachers within just four hours of application.
Special arrangements for Hajjatris/Pilgrims: Special arrangements have been made for retired teaching staff Hajj pilgrims and pilgrims. As a result, due to taking measures in this important religious matter, the retired teaching staff are getting the opportunity to perform Hajj and Pilgrimage. 150 (one hundred and fifty) people have taken this facility during the last Hajj season.

Special scheme for sick and dependent women: Special arrangements have been made for sick and dependent retired teaching staff to get welfare check on priority basis.

Manpower augmentation: The private welfare trust serving about six lakh teaching staff was managed by 03 officers, 02 class III staff and 06 MLSS. 03 BCS officers have been deputed and 01 officer and 02 employees have been newly appointed after the present Board of Trustees assumed charge. As a result the speed of work of Kalyan Trust has increased.

District-to-district, door-to-door delivery of checks: Just a few days ago, where one had to come to Dhaka to stage a sit-in and wait for years to get a check for welfare benefits, now the Member Secretary of the Welfare Trust himself appears in the district and even visits the homes of the sick, helpless, teaching staff. Going home and handing over welfare check. There are several instances of checks being delivered to sick patients at their hospital beds.
