2020 Constitution & Future Proposals

This is an English translation of the historical Bengali source, including its introductory material and Articles 1–16. Unclear or inconsistent provisions are flagged. It is not a newly adopted constitution or a new fee schedule.

Proposed updates from later discussions are listed separately below and remain subject to final adoption.

Website update: 2 November 2026. The earlier record is also preserved on a dedicated History & Original Constitution page. The original source and working translation remain available; proposed amendments below are not adopted rules.

Bangladesh reference: official Constitution, Part III, including equality and association provisions. This reference does not establish the club’s registration or certify its rules.

Introduction. We live in a modern age. The government of the time was working towards a modern, digital Bangladesh. Organizations and clubs can contribute alongside that effort to national development. Many people face hunger, poverty, malnutrition, natural disasters, lack of education and harmful forms of learning. Golden Club was established to contribute to youth employment, moral development, prevention of drug use and smoking, and social development involving schools, colleges, mosques, madrasas, Eid grounds, temples, playing fields and other community infrastructure.

A social organization is a group of people formed within a defined social structure to pursue specific shared objectives, including education, culture and wider social development. A good organization contributes to education, cultural life, health and poverty reduction, and thereby strengthens peace, discipline and harmony. Golden Club therefore needs clear aims and objectives.

In times of decline or disaster, people think about how to rebuild their community. This takes thought, work and cooperation. Although people may overlook society's contribution to everyday life, every step depends on social relationships and processes. Epidemics, fires, droughts, floods, storm surges, building collapses and shipwrecks show how organizations offer assistance, sometimes at risk to their volunteers. Organizations, like families, have an important role in people's lives.

The source attributes this quotation to Confucius: “He who wished to secure the good of others, has already secured his own.” Working through social organizations inspires service and develops positive qualities, leadership, responsibility and social commitment. Even someone without skills in singing or recitation gains a different experience through participation. Organizations teach respect for others' opinions, fulfillment of responsibilities, self-development, cooperation, tolerance and work based on shared values. Healthy cultural development can help address intolerance, unrest and social decline. Students should develop generosity and practical ability alongside academic study by accepting social responsibilities.

The source quotes a Bengali verse: “The sky taught me to be generous, my brother; from the wind I learn the spirit of being a worker.”

Golden Club was formed to involve students in community service. Examination results alone do not make a successful person; development in many areas is needed. Weak links between individuals and society can lead to disorder and unwanted situations. An ideal organization can strengthen those relationships, harmony and social order. Social and cultural organizations have long helped communities address problems and maintain orderly social life. There is no political interest here: individuals may have their own politics, but the social organization belongs to everyone. The rule of law is also essential. Golden Club will encourage welfare work.

The source cites the Qur'an, Al-Baqarah 2:148, with the sense: “Compete with one another in good works.” It attributes to Hazrat Ali the reminder that someone who refuses to help a person in distress may later face distress without anyone responding to their own tears. These quotations and attributions are reproduced from the source, not independently authenticated here.

The source also quotes: “A man who builds wall instead of bridge has no right to complain if he is alone.” It refers to Hindu teachings about rajas and tamas and describes good deeds as a highest human quality across religions. Organized service can unite people and develop friendship. It attributes to Rabindranath the thought that we seek friends for affection, sympathy and help. It refers to Hilf al-Fudul before the Prophet's prophethood, organized work with his companions afterwards, Shah Jalal's arrival in Sylhet with 360 companions, and the many monks who studied in the Buddha's community. It presents Bangladesh's Liberation War, popular participation following Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's call, and victory after nine months as an example of collective action.

Organizations introduce people to one another and make exchanging information beneficial. Exchanging apples leaves each person with one apple; exchanging ideas can leave both with two ideas. Organizations can also develop imagination. The source attributes “Imagination is more powerful than knowledge” to Einstein and “genius is immediate but talent takes time” to Janet Flanner. It argues that study and effort develop ability and that organizations can support that development. Historical and quotation claims remain the claims of the source.

People need to use their abilities and work according to a plan to reach their goals. Great people have had a purpose in life. The source attributes to Professor Abdullah Abu Sayeed the view that wasting even a second, or regarding oneself as helplessly unhappy, is wrong; to Shakespeare, the thought that work and pleasure shorten time; and to Aristotle, “Pleasure in the job put perfection in the work.” An organization can broaden experience, encourage dreams, optimism, confidence, courage and enjoyment, and help people move beyond despair and negativity. It encourages mutual support and enjoyment of life. The source credits civil-society leadership with helping society move from darkness to light and with intellectual contributions to the Language Movement of 1952 and the independence movement of 1971. Social organizations improve relationships between individuals and society. It identifies pride and greed as destructive qualities and says Golden Club will help people avoid them, God willing.

Golden Club was established to contribute to education, culture, sports, community service, public awareness, good citizenship and overall social development. Its general responsibilities are as follows.

Coordination. Golden Club is a social organization, never a private possession. No individual can run an organization alone. The club brings together people's consent and the resources needed to achieve common objectives.

A defined structure. Every organization grows within a clear structure. Golden Club must specify the work it intends to do.

Social development. The organization and every member should contribute to social development.

Moral development. The club should support the personal development of those who form it.

Arts, culture and sports. Cultural and sporting activity should develop artistic interests, sporting interests and ethical qualities. Education and moral development are related. Golden Club should work to advance society through literature, arts, sports and ethical practice.

Clear objectives. An organization without a purpose cannot endure; Golden Club therefore needs specific, constructive goals.

The organizer's role. The organization's welfare and reputation depend considerably on its organizers, who must act responsibly. Their important tasks include coordination, planning, management, supervision, creativity, study and leadership.

An organizer must coordinate people and activities because no one can operate the organization alone. The management committee should lead the club through sound planning. Better management makes a better organizer. Appropriate supervision is necessary for successful initiatives. Since social organizations exist to improve society, organizers should nurture creativity through arts and literature. They should read good books and the biographies of distinguished people to develop themselves and their thinking. The original sentence about reading contains an apparent wording inconsistency concerning conventional thinking; this translation conveys its surrounding call for learning and creativity.

Leadership requires cheerfulness, communication skills, industriousness, courage, sound decisions, worthwhile ambitions, a democratic outlook, calmness, foresight, problem-solving and sustained effort.

Golden Club should unite honest, dedicated, public-spirited people who wish to serve their country or community, and select capable leaders from among them. In the organization's wider interest, active party-political figures should be discouraged from leading it; active members of political parties should not sit on its committee. People who seek titles such as President or Secretary for personal advantage and become inactive after receiving them should be kept away from organizational responsibility.

With the right objectives, Golden Club can contribute meaningfully to development. Members should give up the pursuit of titles and the trade in honors, and instead commit themselves to real work, a better locality and social harmony. People will then remember the individuals and the organization with respect.

To succeed, leaders need skill, patience, a voluntary spirit, cooperation, respect for collective decisions and moral character. The source compares an organization to a garland: each individual is a flower joined by one thread. Together, we should build Golden Club into such a garland, God willing.

In the name of the Almighty Creator and Sustainer.

The organization shall operate on the basis of the Constitution of Bangladesh, the policies of the Ministry of Social Welfare and social values, accepted in written or unwritten form as the organization's guiding principles. This is a translation of the source statement, not evidence of registration or governmental approval.

A. Eligibility

1. A person who supports the organization's aims, constitution and programme may become a member with the Executive Council's approval. The source uses the word “Matua” at this point; its intended meaning must be confirmed rather than silently treated as a new religious eligibility rule.
2. Ordinary and executive members must be at least 15 and not more than 40 years old.
3. The President must be at least 25 years old.
4. An adviser must be at least 30; in a special case, unanimous agreement of the Executive Council may reduce this to 25.
5. A person found guilty under Bangladeshi law may not become a member, but may become one after serving the sentence.
6. Both boys/men and girls/women may become members.
7. A person who agrees with the organization's aims and constitution may apply with the agreement of its members.
8. A permanent resident of any district or village of Bangladesh may apply.
9. Applicants should have passed J.S.C. or an equivalent examination; otherwise they must possess the intellectual ability to help run the organization.
10. Members should be polite, discerning, energetic, well-behaved and thoughtful.
11. Membership may be granted even if an Executive Council member does not vote, provided three-quarters of the members support the applicant. The wording does not clearly define the voting body or distinguish abstention from opposition.
12. People involved in social activities may apply.

B. Disqualification

1. An applicant involved in harmful or antisocial activity shall be considered ineligible.
2. Even without a conviction in a Bangladeshi court, the Executive Committee may refuse membership if it considers the person guilty. This historical clause requires due-process review; it is not a new approved website rule.

1. An applicant shall first complete the application form distributed free by the organization or club and obtain membership through an application.
2. To become a member, the applicant must sign four documents required by the club: the constitution, the terms/conditions paper, the application form and the oath paper.
3. The source requires BDT 200 with the membership application and BDT 100 per member each month from the following month for the orderly running of the organization. These are historical amounts and differ from the later membership proposals; they must not be treated as newly approved collection instructions.

1. The organization is entirely non-political. If a member connects, or tries to connect, its activities with politics, the Executive Council may expel that member after consulting the Advisory Council. A notice stating the reasons must be issued first.

1. The organization's policies may be amended; responsibility rests with the committee. The source wording describing that responsibility is defective and needs confirmation.
2. The organization shall not be eager to punish any member at any level.
3. Golden Club shall not operate as an affiliate of another organization. In future it may establish branches in different areas, managed from the head office.
4. The organization shall formulate and publish its processes openly and simply.
5. The club shall not be responsible for or recommend leniency concerning allegations of a member's personal political violence, terrorism, militancy, drug activity or other crime. It shall not otherwise interfere with personal freedom. If someone tries to misuse the organization's influence in personal life, the club shall take legal action.
6. The management committee shall work jointly to advance the club through sound planning.

1. Membership may be cancelled if a member has no contact with club authorities for one year.
2. A person whose membership ends voluntarily or by legal process may not demand money or anything else from club authorities.

4. Membership shall be cancelled for involvement in activities against the organization.
5. The President may suspend a member whose subscriptions remain unpaid for one year or more.
6. Membership shall be suspended while a sentence following conviction under Bangladeshi law is being served. The Executive Committee may cancel membership depending on the nature of the offense.
7. Membership shall be cancelled if misappropriation of club funds is proved, and if the person is “mentally deranged,” in the terminology of the source. The source joins these expressions with “and”; the intended relationship is unclear. The latter wording is retained for translation fidelity and requires disability, fairness and due-process review before any new policy is adopted.
8. The committee may cancel or suspend membership if it considers a member guilty even without a legal conviction. This requires review alongside the later due-process proposal.
9. A member acting outside the club's policies and constitution shall be considered removed by unanimous agreement.

Clause 1 — Advisory Council

The organization shall have an Advisory Council. Respected people with at least a bachelor's degree may be members. It shall seek representation from the area, neighborhood, locality or police-station jurisdiction. Advisers are considered life members. The council shall guide overall planning and ask the President to explain failures in the conduct of work.

Clause 2 — Election of the President and General Secretary

All members shall elect the President and General Secretary by direct vote. The elected President and General Secretary shall consult the Advisory Council to form the Executive Council.

The President shall:
1. Direct and supervise all organizational activities.
2. Preside over all meetings.
3. Maintain contact with advisers and seek the highest standards of discipline.
4. Stop or suspend Executive Council activities considered harmful to the organization, but only after consulting advisers and giving notice.
5. Convene meetings of any type.
6. In an emergency, make decisions in consultation with the General Secretary and members present, then place the proposal before the next discussion meeting for approval.

2. Help supervise and implement the Executive Council's work.
3. Implement meeting decisions or arrange and supervise their implementation.
4. Act as chief executive at each meeting and take the corresponding steps.
5. Set meeting agendas in consultation with the President and act accordingly.

The Assistant General Secretary shall perform the General Secretary's duties in that officer's absence and carry out responsibilities delegated by the General Secretary.

Removal of the President and General Secretary:
– Members may remove either officer for conduct contrary to the aims or constitution, conduct risking harm to the organization, neglect or disregard of duty. A three-quarters vote of members is required.
– Complaints against the President go to the Advisory Council; complaints against the General Secretary go to the President.
– The Advisory Committee may directly expel the President or General Secretary for an attempted misappropriation of organizational funds. This power conflicts with limitations stated later in this article and must be reconciled.

Clause 3 — Formation of the Working/Executive Council

The management committee shall advance the club jointly through proper planning. The following responsibilities and arrangements are stated:
1. Provide necessary advice to the Executive Council.
2. Conduct the Executive Council's formation meeting overall.
3. Where members disagree, the Advisory Council shall address the disciplinary matter, and the President must convene a meeting.
4. A person who is not a member may not hold a place on the Executive Council. The first part of the source sentence is defective.

6. The Executive Council shall arrange inclusion of Advisory Council members.
7. The Executive Council shall currently consist of 12 people.
8. Executive Council members shall be nominated for no more than one year.
9. The source contains the unclear statement that the executive body will consider that “all selection will begin.” Its practical meaning cannot be established from the text and is left unresolved.
10. Twenty-five percent of the Executive Council shall be selected by the Advisory Council, fifty percent by the members' assembly and twenty-five percent by the Executive Council itself. The source then gives the Executive Council authority in selecting assistant office-holders and states that new members will be elected from the members' assembly. The relationship between these provisions needs clarification.
11. Two or more members of the same family may not serve together on the Executive Council. An officer's position shall lapse if that person loses social acceptability. The standards and process are not specified.

Clause 4 — Management Committee

The structure comprises the Advisory Council, Executive Council and General Council. A working Executive Council shall undertake management. The source lists these offices:

1. President
2. Vice-President
3. General Secretary
4. Assistant General Secretary
5. Organizing Secretary
6. Assistant Organizing Secretary
7. Finance Secretary
8. Assistant Finance Secretary

20. Assistant Women's Affairs Secretary
21. Social Welfare Secretary
22. Information and Research Secretary

The current management committee shall be formed for one year. The source separately prints “Number of members: 04”, then specifies an Advisory Council of two to five people and an Executive Council including one President, one Vice-President, one Secretary, one Assistant Secretary, one Cashier and one area representative at police-station level. Ordinary membership is open. The term is one year. At each anniversary meeting, the existing Executive Council shall be dissolved and a new one formed. The counts of 04, 12 and 22 offices are inconsistent and are retained as source discrepancies rather than resolved by the translator.

Education Secretary: conduct educational activities, prepare syllabuses and question papers, and work through an examination-control committee.

Assistant Education Secretary: carry out delegated education responsibilities. The source says this officer shall perform the “President's” duties in the Education Secretary's absence; that appears inconsistent and is retained as a matter requiring correction.

Finance Secretary: be responsible for all accounting work; ensure club money is deposited in its bank account between the 10th and 15th according to the Executive Committee's approved procedure; ensure safe custody of funds; and operate the relevant bank account jointly with the General Secretary. No expenditure outside the budget or contrary to the club's rules may be approved. The period to which “10th–15th” refers is not expressly stated in that sentence.

Assistant Finance Secretary: carry out delegated finance responsibilities. Here too the source says this officer performs the “President's” duties in the Finance Secretary's absence; the intended office needs confirmation.

Clauses 5–10:
5. The organization shall operate entirely non-commercially and non-politically while maintaining social harmony.
6. It shall be run experimentally through three committees.
7. Fifty percent of the Advisory Council shall be determined on the Executive Council's recommendation.
8. The Advisory Council shall not in practice dissolve a committee or punish a member or committee.
9. It may make proposals but may not issue directions.
10. It shall not participate in expenditure deliberations, but may request accounts at the end of a term or when required. The relevant timing expression in the source is unclear.

The source contains this heading but no substantive clauses beneath it. No rules have been invented to fill the gap.

1. All organizational transactions shall be conducted through a joint bank account.
2. The accounts section shall announce an annual budget.

The remaining space is blank apart from punctuation in the source.

Members' assembly

1. Members shall not be judged or treated differently on grounds of gender, religion, race/color, politics or economic/social position.
2. Members of the assembly shall pay the prescribed minimum subscription.
3. They shall give the fullest cooperation in implementing programmes.
4. The organization shall not become involved in resolving a member's personal problems.
5. Executive members shall be accountable to the members' assembly for all work.
6. At the end of the year, the executive body shall publish income and expenditure statements.
7. Membership shall be obtained by completing the registration form distributed free by the organization and applying for admission.

Annual General Meeting

The AGM shall be held by 10 October each year. The source assigns presentation of the annual report, full activity record and audited income/expenditure to an “Organizational Vice-President,” a title not consistently defined elsewhere. The Finance Secretary shall present the annual accounts. Proposals shall be adopted by majority agreement. At least fifteen days' notice is required. The presence of two-thirds of the total Executive Council constitutes a quorum; attendance by ordinary members is not compulsory. Members must have an opportunity to speak. The previous year's work shall be reviewed and the next year's plans prepared. Only regular members may vote. In a special case, a general meeting may be called on seven days' notice.

Special General Meeting

With the President's or Vice-President's approval, the Organizing Secretary may convene a special general meeting at any time to amend the constitution or resolve a complex problem. Normally fifteen days' notice is required; seven days may be used in an emergency. One-third of executive members is the quorum, and approval by two-thirds of those present is required for a proposal to pass.

Requisitioned or Emergency Meeting

On a signed request by at least one-third of all members, executive and ordinary combined, the President must convene a general meeting within fifteen days. If the President cannot do so within that period, the signatories may call the meeting themselves on seven days' notice, specifying the date and place through a newspaper notice. Decisions are effective if two-thirds of the total membership attends.

Introduction. People should stand beside one another, but lack of compassion, willingness, coordination and unity can prevent assistance even when someone is visibly in difficulty. A social organization can develop these qualities. Golden Club began through a group of young people who recognized the need to work for disadvantaged people. The source declares a commitment to voluntary blood donation, education, medical assistance, street-connected children, disadvantaged people and those affected by national emergencies. These are the historical document's commitments, not verification of currently operating services.

The programme list is:
1. Stand beside disadvantaged street-connected children and support their rights.
2. Help disadvantaged students enroll in school.
3. Distribute winter clothing, iftar materials and Eid clothing.
4. Distribute relief in disaster-affected areas.
5. Provide learning materials and awareness programmes for disadvantaged students.
6. Assist people with mental, physical or intellectual disabilities, as described in the source.

15. Help local people facing poverty and hardship.
16. Take necessary measures to prevent sexual harassment, referred to as “eve-teasing” in the source.
17. Prohibit and take measures against outsiders asserting influence or patrolling the locality. This source provision requires legal review; it must not be interpreted as permission for private policing or unlawful exclusion.
18. Help young women and men address unemployment.
19. Assist and encourage disadvantaged, meritorious students to continue studying.
20. Develop social responsibility and socially aware citizenship.
21. Organize sports, participation and training, and create opportunities for particularly talented players at district, divisional and national levels. The source repeats the district/divisional/national pathway sentence.
22. Help the administration create a drug-free area.
23. Support rehabilitation from addiction, gambling, antisocial behavior and crime through recreation, awareness, treatment and encouragement towards employment.
24. Encourage community-service work and help people undertake it.
25. Arrange vocational training for disadvantaged people with disabilities.

30. Arrange mosquito-control sanitation, cleaning of drains and roadside waste, and use of disinfectants as described in the source.
31. Try to form branches in different villages in future and manage them under Golden Club's leadership.

The source lists headings for conditions while at the club, conditions outside the club, and conditions at any club event, but supplies no detailed text for those three headings.

Condition 1: racism, discriminatory conduct, religious division, gender discrimination and similar practices shall not be permitted within the organization.

1. A member shall not hold two offices at the same time.
2. Members shall not use the organization for personal or family interests.
3. The organization shall arrange awareness-based community services as part of its social responsibilities.
4. It shall expand its scope and objectives in response to the needs of the time.
5. With the meeting's agreement, the organization may participate in government-managed cooperative welfare programmes for poor and unemployed people, such as social forestry or integrated fish farming. The source's adjective for these programmes is defective.
6. Policies may be amended; responsibility rests with the committee. The wording repeats the defective responsibility phrase in Article 8.
7. The organization shall not be eager to punish any member at any level.
8. It shall formulate and publish all policies openly and simply.
9. Policies are a continuing body of additions; expansion and removal are normal.
10. A member acting outside the club's policies shall be considered removed by unanimous agreement.
11. Club authorities shall not be responsible for, or recommend leniency concerning, allegations of a member's personal involvement in political violence, terrorism, militancy, drug activity or other crime. They shall not otherwise interfere with personal freedom. If a member attempts to misuse the organization's influence, the club shall take legal action. This repeats the substance of Article 8(5).
