His father Khandakar Abdul Hamid, B.A. - was an educationist and a respected local leader. His mother, Nurunnahar, was an intelligent homemaker.Elahi completed primary and secondary education from local institutions and got admitted to Bangladesh Agricultural University's Agricultural Economics program in 1969. He completed the program's bachelor's and master's degrees with distinction and became a lecturer at the University's Agricultural Finance department in 1979. Next year, he came to the University of Guelph, Canada, with a Canadian Commonwealth Scholarship and returned to his job in 1988 after completing MS and Ph.D. degrees. In 1996, he resigned from his position and immigrated permanently to Canada with his family. In his new national and professional life, he taught at four universities in different countries but did not take teaching as a profession for livelihood.From his student life, Dr. Elahi showed signs of being a socially concerned person. This native knack probably persuaded him to passionately read some of humanity's most original philosophers - Confucious, Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, Bacon, Locke, Rousseau and Hume. In retirement, his passion is to analyse national and international economic and political issues in the light of their teachings.Dr. Elahi is married to Khadiza Jesmin. They share three lovely daughters – Sharmin, Sharlin and Afiza.ver menos
