The contribution of the agriculture sector (includes crops, fisheries, livestock and forestry) to GDP was 33.21%, 31.46%, 29.52%, 26.02%, 25.58%, 22.83%, and 21.91 % respectively in 1979-80, 1984-85, 1989-90, 1994-95, 1999-00, 2003-04 and 2004-05 (BBS and Bangladesh Economic Review of 2003, 2004 & 2005) The contribution of agriculture sector to provide employment for the agricultural labor force was 63.2 %, 62.3 %, and 51.69 % respectively in 1995-96, 1999-00, and 2002-03 (BBS and Bangladesh Economic Review of 2003, 2004 & 2005). Besides, exports of primary agricultural products constituted 10.4% of total exports of the country in 1997-98. For nearly three decades since the early 1970s, agricultural growth in Bangladesh has been predominantly led by food grains, mostly rice. Although acceleration of rice production resulted in an increase in per capita availability, there has been concern about the sustainability of rice-led agricultural growth. There is a need to devise a strategy that can deal with the new challenges and opportunities to make agriculture more flexible, diversified and efficient. Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) is deals with the crops sector Research & Development (R&D), and Extension Services. In MoA, Department of Agricultural Extension (DAE) is responsible for the dissemination of improved varieties, agricultural technologies and Human Resources Development (HRD) through demonstration and training activities. DAE has its offices and staff up to Upazila and Union level. At Upazila level, Upazila Agriculture Officer, and Subject Matter Officer on related field are posted. In each Upazila, 20-30 Block Supervisors-recently re-designated as Sub-Assistant Agriculture Officer (SAAO). In each Union, 2-3 SAAO are posted, and they work under Upazila Agricultural Officer. Each Union is divided into 2-3 blocks, and each block has 1 BS/SAAO who is engaged in preparing crop production plan, crop survey, and render technical assistance to farmers on crop production and management practices and technologies. The BS/SAAO is the only government functionary/staff who has permanent and maintains direct linkages with farmers. In agricultural production, quality seeds of modern/high yielding varieties are one of the most effective inputs. Bangladesh Rice Research Institute (BRRI-mandated for development of rice) and Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI-mandated for development all crops other than rice) are the two research institutions under NARS responsible for agricultural research and development. Out of more than 42 modern/HYV rice varieties, developed by BRRI, BR-11, BRRI Dhan-28 and BRRI Dhan-29 are most popular to the farmers and widely cultivated. The BRRI developed HYVs such as BR-3 (popular name is Biplob) and BR-11 (popular name is Mukta) released respectively in 1973 and 1980 are still highly popular to the farmer.. Certification of Breeder Seed (BS), Foundation Seed (FS) and Certified Seed (CS) of Rice, Wheat, Jute and Potato is carried out by Seed Certification Agency (SCA). About 90% of the seeds are obtained by farmers themselves from their own saved seeds or by exchanging with the neighbors. Seeds are often mixed with different varieties. Any good variety may degenerate if it continued for cultivation up to four years from the progeny of certified tier. To maintain the potentiality of a good variety it is recommended to replace the seeds of the same variety with seed source from either breeder and/or foundation. Bangladesh Agricultural Development Corporation (BADC) provides quality seeds to farmers. The share of the quality ensured seeds supplied by BADC (the only public sector organized and formal seed industry) is about 5% of the total needs. The remaining about 5% quality seeds are supplied by the formal private sector seed industries/organizations (the breakup of seed supply is BADC 5%+Private 5% + Farmers own saved seed 90%). (2) Function of Agriculture sector in Socioeconomic Development in Bangladesh From a view to considering demand-led agricultural development, it is convenient to categorize the A 3 - 1 agricultural functions to major three steps: Supply of sufficient food, increase of cash generating for farmers and improvement of rural society. In the first step, increase of rice production is the principal target. The rice production has been increasing, and the per capita supply is maintained at 155 kg/year. The rice supply has achieved almost self-sufficiency, and the per capita calorie intake was 2,372 Cal. Majority of rural areas of Bangladesh have finished the first step, and is presently entering to the second stage as shown below. However, the protein intake was 46.8 g/day, and its supply is not sufficient, and farmers are suffering from low cash income. Besides, improvement of farmers’ living conditions is also important. The final target of SSWRDSP is to alleviate poverty. The Master Plan activities were focused on analyzing problems, identification of potentials and approaches to break-through the current agricultural situations and by exploring possible ways for the future development. Functions of agriculture Targets of development in Bangladesh Self-sufficiency of rice Supply of sufficient food Stabilization of food supply/ food security Increase of cash generation/ approaches to poverty alleviation Increase of cash generation for farmers Balanced nutrition intake (Protein, etc) Improvement of farmers’ living conditions Improvement of rural infrastructure Improvement of rural society Protection of environmental conditions Development of rural welfare Trend of Rice Production, Supply and Nutrition Intake Rice (1000 ton) Per-capita Calorie and protein intake per capita rice Protein Year Calorie Production Import supply Total Animal Vegetables Kg/year Cal/day Gram/day Gram/day Gram/day 2001 24,201 151 155 2,372 46.8 6.0 40.7 2000 25,096 259 157 2,158 45.8 6.1 39.6 1996 18,799 1,037 153 2,046 44.3 5.6 38.8 1995 17,607 986 146 1,986 43.1 5.3 37.8 1991 18,261 18 158 2,074 44.6 5.0 39.6 1990 17,861 382 157 2,092 44.9 4.8 40.1 1986 15,414 53 150 2,013 43.0 5.1 37.9 1985 15,045 674 138 2,012 44.6 5.1 39.4 1981 13,637 78 143 1,941 42.3 4.7 37.6 Source: FAO Food Balance Sheet (2004) (3) Agricultural Production As shown in the figure, three-fourth of the cultivated area is cropped with rice followed by other crops such as wheat, pulses, oilseeds etc. The area, yield and production of crops Percentage of Area Under Cultivation (1999-2000) from 2000-2001 to 2002-2003 are shown in Table 2.3.3. The rice yield of boro is higher than that of aus and aman, mainly because of irrigation, and hazard free climatic conditions and use of quality seeds of high yielding varieties. Although Bangladesh is one of the largest rice producers in the world, the average rice Rice (75.03) Wheat (5.83) Pulses (3.49) Oil seeds (3.06) Spices (1.74) Sugarcane (1.19) yield is at a relatively low level of 2.34 Jute (2.86) Tea (0.34) Fruits (1.30) ton/ha (2002-03). However, an average Vegetables (1.73) Potato (1.71) Others (1.69) yield of 3.18 ton/ha was attained by the Ref : Yearbook of Agricultural Statistics of Bangladesh, 2000 A 3 - 2 high yielding variety (HYV) in boro season (2002-03).

    Bangladesh Rice J. 21 (2) : 217-235, 2017 Cropping Patterns in Mymensingh Region: Diversity, Constraint and Potential A Khatun1*, N Parvin1, M M R Dewan2 and A Saha1 ABSTRACT A consistent and comprehensive database on cropping pattern, cropping intensity and crop diversity of a particular area is the prime importance for guiding policy makers, researchers, extentionists and development agencies for the future research and development planning. The study was carried out all the upazilas of Mymensingh region during 2015-16 using pre-designed and pre-tested semi- structured questionnaire with a view to document the existing cropping pattern, crop diversity and cropping intensity. The most dominant cropping pattern Boro−Fallow−T. Aman occupied about one- half of net cropped area (NCA) of the region distributed to 46 out of 47 upazilas. Single Boro cropping pattern ranked the second position which covered 23% of NCA distributed in 45 upazilas. A total of 129 cropping patterns were identified in the whole area of Mymensingh region under this investigation. The highest number of (30) cropping patterns were identified in Pakundia upazila of Kishoreganj and the lowest was (10) in Sreebardi of Sherpur. The lowest crop diversity index (CDI) was reported (0.111) in Mithamoin of Kishoreganj followed by 0.114 at Khaliajuri in Netrokona. The highest value of CDI was observed 0.933 at Dewanganj in Jamalpur followed by 0.920 at Bhairab in Kishoreganj. The range of cropping intensity values was recorded 101-249%. The maximum value was for Hossainpur and minimum for Itna and Mithamoin in Kishoreganj. At a glance the calculated CDI of Mymensingh region was 0.840 and the average cropping intensity was 187%.

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.

    Globalization, Local Crimes and National Security: The Case of Bangladesh Submitted by: Md. Ruhul Amin Sarkar Session: 149/2014-2015 Department: International Relations University of Dhaka. P a g e | 1 Abstract Globalization has become one of the most significant phenomena in the world since the end of the cold war. Globalization especially the economic globalization has brought about new opportunities and opened dynamic windows for the people of the world based on the notion of liberalism, free market, easy access of goods and services. Although globalization has brought about some positive gains for individuals and society, it has caused negative impacts on the society called ‘the dark side of globalization’. It has created complex and multifaceted security problems and threats to the countries especially the developing countries like Bangladesh. Globalization has changed the nature and dynamics of crime although crime is not a new phenomenon in Bangladesh. The nature or pattern of crime has changed remarkably with the advent of globalization, modern technology and various modern devices, which pose serious security threats to the individuals, society and the country. Globalization has created easy access to conducting illegal trade such as small arms, illegal drugs and human trafficking and some violent activities such as kidnapping, theft, murder, around the world as well as in Bangladesh. It has developed the new trends of crimes, gun violence, drugs crime, and increasing number of juvenile convicts and heinous crimes committed in Bangladesh. Over the years, the number of organized murder crimes is increasing along with rape cases and pretty nature of crimes with the advent of globalization and information technology.
