The Ministry of Ministry of Disaster Management and Relief Disaster Management and Relief has achieved its goal in this regard to a certain extent through its Comprehensive Disaster Management Programme (CDMP), Phase II. It is worth mentioning that our students are now learning about disaster risks and climate change issues throughout their student life which will have a positive, lasting eect in disaster management. Dierent ministries/agencies of our government are now putting into practice many of the initiatives taken by CDMP II which will benet especially the most vulnerable section of people in coming years. The lessons learnt, capacities developed under CDMP project are praiseworthy. There are still areas/dimensions where there is scope for further development. I hope that our development partners would come forward to work with the Government of Bangladesh for making Bangladesh a disaster resilient country.

We hope that the contents of this report will help the people understand the overall human rights situation in the country. We further expect that both government and non-government stakeholders working for human rights would be acquainted with the updated human rights conditions and take necessary steps to stop repeated offences. On the other hand, in 2018, the constitutionally guaranteed rights of freedom of assembly and association witnessed a sharp decline by making digital security act-2018. Further, the overall human rights situation significantly deteriorated. Restrictions on the activities of political parties and civil societies, impunity to the excesses of the security forces, extrajudicial killing in the name of anti-drug campaign, enforced disappearance, violence against women, arbitrary arrests and assault on opposition political leaders and activists, intimidation and extortion are considered to be the main reasons for such a catastrophic state of affairs.

  • Local Government and Rural Development in the Bengal Sundarbans: an Inquiry in Managing Common Property Resources 1
    Agriculture and Human Values 7, 2 (Spring 1990), 40-51. Local Government and Rural Development in the Bengal Sundarbans: An Inquiry in Managing Common Property Resources 1 Harry W. Blair Harry Blair is professor of political science at Bucknell University, and has held appointments at Colgate, Cornell, Columbia and Yale Universities, as well as at the United States Agency for International Development. He has conducted academic research and has served as a consultant in South Asia for more than 20 years, focusing on rural development policy, natural resource management and decentralization. In the subcontinent, his primary geographical concentration has been on Bangladesh and, within India, on Maharashtra and Bihar. ABSTRACT Of the three strategies available for managing common property resources (CPR)--centralized control, privatization and local management-this essay focuses on the last, which has proven quite effective in various settings throughout the Third World, with the key to success being local ability to control access to the resource. The major factors at issue in the Sundarbans situation are: historically external pressure on theforest; currently dense population in adjacent areas; a land distribution even more unequal than the norm in Bangladesh; and a decentralized local government structure initiated in the mid-1980s. The first three factors have encouraged the local population to view this CRP as a frontier to be exploited, rather than as a resource to be preserved for sustained yield. Thus to the extent that the new local government structure proves to be democratic and responsive to popular needs, it would most likely accelerate destruction of the Sundarbans, using the area as a cheap and easy way to provide some livelihood to the rural poor and landless.

  • Cropping Pattern, Intensity and Diversity in Dhaka Region
    Bangladesh Rice J. 21 (2) : 123-141, 2017 Cropping Pattern, Intensity and Diversity in Dhaka Region N Parvin1*, A Khatun1, M K Quais1 and M Nasim1 ABSTRACT Sustainable crop production in Bangladesh through improvement of cropping intensity and crop diversity in rice based cropping system is regarded as increasingly important in national issues. Planning of agricultural development largely depends on the authentic, reliable and comprehensive statistics of the existing cropping patterns, cropping intensity and crop diversity of a particular area, which will provide guideline to our policy makers, researchers, extensionists and development workers. The study was conducted over all 46 upazilas of Dhaka agricultural region in 2015 using pretested semi-structured questionnaire with a view to document the existing cropping patterns, cropping intensity and crop diversity in the region. From the present study, it was observed that about 48.27% net cropped area (NCA) is covered by exclusive rice cropping systems whereas deep water rice occupied about 16.57% of the regional NCA. The most dominant cropping pattern Boro−Fallow−T. Aman alone occupied about 22.59% of net cropped area (NCA) with its distribution over 32 upazilas out of 46. The second largest area was covered by single Boro cropping pattern, which was spread over 44 upazilas. Total number of cropping patterns was observed 164. The highest number of cropping pattern was identified 35 in Tangail sadar and Dhamrai upazila of Dhaka district and the lowest was seven in Bandar of Narayanganj and Palash of Narsingdi district. The lowest crop diversity index (CDI) was reported as 0.70 in Dhamrai followed by 0.72 in Monohardi of Narsingdi.
