Automatic Sign Language Recognition (ASLR) is a rapidly advancing field that leverages computer vision and machine learning to interpret sign language gestures and convert them into text or spoken language. The goal is to facilitate communication between deaf and hearing individuals and to enhance accessibility in various domains. Each country typically has its sign language, such as American Sign Language (ASL) in the United States and British Sign Language (BSL) in the UK, with International Sign (IS) used in global contexts. While substantial research has focused on translating sign language to text, the reverse process of translating text to sign language still needs to be explored. This discrepancy highlights an essential gap in accessibility technologies for the deaf and hard-of-hearing communities. Text-to-sign language translation involves converting written or spoken language into corresponding sign language gestures, which is inherently complex due to sign language’s rich, visual, and spatial nature. Our research aims to develop a novel system for converting spoken language into 3D hand sign language, bridging the communication gap between the hearing and deaf communities. This innovative approach involves two main components: automatic speech recognition (ASR) and 3D hand sign generation.

The report primarily focuses on the new project of Carbon Trading, which was proposed by the CEO of Max Infrastructure ltd. Max started their journey from 1983. Now they have become one of the largest conglomerates in this industry. Their success can be seen if we look at some of the mega projects in Bangladesh. Their contribution is almost everywhere in infrastructure sector of Bangladesh. However Max did not get to this stage very easily. They had to face so many challenges and competitors to win the contracts. They had to fight against top construction companies with diplomacy and technical ability. Business development team here plays the main role to win the deals by competing foreign and domestic companies. Tendering process and procurement is a complex system where qualifying and winning a contract is not an easy task. For that long-term experience and negotiation skill is needed. Which I was taught by my supervisor. Foreign companies and their competency is another factor that we need to consider if we want to win a contract. For that technical qualification and financial qualification is the main criteria which is achieved and planned by the Business Development team in Max Group. Secondly various new profitable and unique projects are taken and executed here. Carbon Trading which is already operated in Europe and America; is the newest and revolutionary initiative in Bangladesh. Which we are working on to reduce total GHG emission and offset carbon to gain carbon credit and enter the global carbon market. This initiative can change the whole scenario of all the industries in Bangladesh. Also successfully implementing renewable and sustainable energy in the industrial zone of Max Group is a remarkable success. At present, we are focusing on installing solar panels as a substitute of bio fuels. It can give us a huge carbon offset, energy saving, cost efficiency and also environment safety
