By the 1980s, K.Z. Islam’s reputation for quality, commitment and vision was already becoming well established. In 1983, he took this same approach to an entirely new task: becoming the president of the Bangladesh Cricket Board.
This was the start of a long journey, taking Nirman from a trusted partner in construction into a household name in sports. With the launch of Nirman School Cricket, K.Z. Islam played a key role in building Bangladesh cricket – including inspiring a new generation of players.
Nirman also began a longstanding focus on supporting and enriching local communities – including developing Sreepur Village, an orphanage for women and children at cost price.
