Bangladesh Islami Chhatrashibir (often referred to as Chhatrashibir) is a student organization in Bangladesh affiliated with the political party Jamaat-e-Islami. Founded in 1977 at Dhaka University, its primary aim is to promote Islamic values and education among students. The group focuses on both religious and secular education, offering a wide range of programs such as Quran memorization contests, leadership development camps, sports competitions, and career counseling【8†source】【9†source】.

Chhatrashibir has historically played a significant role in Bangladeshi student politics. However, it has been involved in several controversies, including accusations of political violence and extremism. The organization and its parent party, Jamaat-e-Islami, were banned in 2024 by the Bangladeshi government following violent protests, though the ban was later lifted amid political changes【10†source】.

The group's activities extend beyond Bangladesh, with affiliations to international Islamic student organizations. Despite facing periodic crackdowns by the government, Chhatrashibir remains active, focusing on Islamic education, leadership, and community development【7†source】【10†sourc
