According to various statistics, the number of smartphone users in 2017 was 2.32 billion around the world. In 2020, it will exceed 2.87 billion. Therefore, if organizations and industries are not investing in mobile applications to increase productivity and accessibility among their workforce, they are going to fall behind. Bangladesh government has also taken initiatives to implement the vision 2021 to build a digital Bangladesh. As part of this initiative, the ICT division of Bangladesh government has funded the development of android mobile applications for all government organizations. These applications provide easier access to information and many more facilities. The ultimate goal of this app is to facilitate the user with the process of searching essential information in an instant rather than flipping the pages of the existing paper-based diary of Sylhet Agricultural University (SAU) in Bangladesh with additional functionalities. The paper illustrates the features, development method, result, and uses of our android application named “SAU app”. There was no android application for SAU earlier. To embrace the digital world and to precede one step ahead of many others, we have come up with our online mobile application which can solve their problem during checking staffs’ information of SAU in a moment. Every person can also easily operate the system in home and aboard. * Corresponding Author: Hira Lal Gope  hlgope@sau.ac.bd International Journal of Biosciences | IJB | ISSN: 2220-6655 (Print) 2222-5234 (Online) http://www.innspub.net Vol. 14, No. 6, p. 276-281, 2019
