FOREWORD The District of Jessore is one of the districts mutilated by Radcliff Award on the partition of Bengal. Out of the 23 thanas of the district (Undivided Bengal), two thanas namely Bangaon P.S. with an area of 226 square miles and Gaighata P.S. with an area of 94 sq. miles were transferred to West Bengal (Hharat). The dhtriC'"t which was formerly in the Presidency Division (Undivided Beng§l-l) is now included in Rajshahi Division of East Bengal. It lies within 22°47' and 23°50' North Latitude and between 88°40' and 89·50' East Longitude. The district is bounded on the North by the district of Kushtia, on the South by the district of Khulna, on the East by the river Gorai, which separates it from the district of Faridpur and on the West by the district of Nadia (Bharat). Mvi. lYIJ. Badiul Alam, a young and able Dy. Magistrate was appointed the" District Census Officer. Eal'h of the 21 thanas was formed into a separate census charge. The three .:Vfunicipalities e.g. Jessore, Moheshpur and Kotchandpur as well as Jhinaidah town (Non.Municipal) were each formed into special census charges. The whole district was also divided into 393 census circles and 4458 census blocks. Charge Superintendents were appointed for the census charges, Supervisors for the census circles and Enumerators for the census blocks. As many as 5598 Enumerators and Assistant Enumerators were appointed for actual enumeration under the strict supervision of census Superintendents, circle Supervisors and the Officers of the district administration. In the village Jist the figures have been prepared mainly from the charge Superin­ sendent's Summaries as corrected during block sort. The village figures, however, have been rounued to the nearest 10 and the thana figures to the nearest] 00. The figures for the areas of villages as well as of thanas have been adopted from the jurisdiction lists as verified from the office of the Director of Land Records and Surveys, East Bengal and have been shown to the nearest whole number. The local details in respel t of villages have been ascertained by reference to the Sub-Divisional Magistrate. The symbols indicating the local details are explained below. U.B. Union Board. Ry.

    Socio-Economic Impact of Cropland Agroforestry: Evidence from Jessore District of Bangladesh

    International Journal of Research in Agriculture and Forestry Volume 2, Issue 1, January 2015, PP 11-20 ISSN 2394-5907 (Print) & ISSN 2394-5915 (Online) Socio-Economic Impact of Cropland Agroforestry: Evidence from Jessore District of Bangladesh M. Chakraborty1, M.Z. Haider2, M.M. Rahaman3 1 MDS Graduate, Economics Discipline, Khulna University, Khulna – 9208, Bangladesh 2 Professor, Economics Discipline, Khulna University, Khulna – 9208, Bangladesh 3 MDS Graduate, Economics Discipline, Khulna University, Khulna – 9208, Bangladesh Abstract: This study attempts to explore the socio-economic impact of cropland agroforestry in Bangladesh. We surveyed 84 farmers of two sub-districts named Manirampur and Bagherpara under Jessore district in the south-west region of Bangladesh through using a questionnaire during the period of June to July 2013. It follows a multistage random sampling procedure for selecting respondents. The main objective of the study is to assess the socio-economic impact of Cropland Agroforestry (CAF) on farmers’ livelihood. The survey results reveal that CAF farmers’ socio-economic status is better than that of Non-Cropland Agroforestry (NCAF) or monoculture farmers. This study finds that housing pattern, level of education, land and other physical assets are significantly different between CAF and NCAF farmers. The mean annual household income of the surveyed CAF farmers is Tk. 0.19 million which is significantly higher (p<0.05) than that of the surveyed NCAF farmers. Household income also varies widely according to farm size and number of members in a household. The Weighted Mean Index (WMI) of five major indicators of farmer’s household livelihood situation reveals that CAF farmer’s household energy and food situation, affordability of education, medical and clothing expenditure is better than NCAF farmers.

    Bangladesh – Hindus – Awami League – Bengali Language

    Refugee Review Tribunal AUSTRALIA RRT RESEARCH RESPONSE Research Response Number: BGD30821 Country: Bangladesh Date: 8 November 2006 Keywords: Bangladesh – Hindus – Awami League – Bengali language This response was prepared by the Country Research Section of the Refugee Review Tribunal (RRT) after researching publicly accessible information currently available to the RRT within time constraints. This response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim to refugee status or asylum. Questions 1. Are Hindus a minority religion in Bangladesh? 2. How are religious minorities, notably Hindus, treated in Bangladesh? 3. Is the Awami League traditionally supported by the Hindus in Bangladesh? 4. Are Hindu supporters of the Awami League discriminated against and if so, by whom? 5. Are there parts of Bangladesh where Hindus enjoy more safety? 6. Is Bengali the language of Bangladeshis? RESPONSE 1. Are Hindus a minority religion in Bangladesh? Hindus constitute approximately 10 percent of the population in Bangladesh making them a religious minority. Sunni Muslims constitute around 88 percent of the population and Buddhists and Christians make up the remainder of the religious minorities. The Hindu minority in Bangladesh has progressively diminished since partition in 1947 from approximately 25 percent of the population to its current 10 percent (US Department of State 2006, International Religious Freedom Report for 2006 – Bangladesh, 15 September – Attachment 1). 2. How are religious minorities, notably Hindus, treated in Bangladesh? In general, minorities in Bangladesh have been consistently mistreated by the government and Islamist extremists. Specific discrimination against the Hindu minority intensified immediately following the 2001 national elections when the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) gained victory with its four-party coalition government, including two Islamic parties.

    Chapter 1 Introduction Main Report CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION

    CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION Main Report Chapter 1 Introduction Main Report CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the Study The Peoples Republic of Bangladesh has a population of 123 million (as of June 1996) and a per capita GDP (Fiscal Year 1994/1995) of US$ 235.00. Of the 48 nations categorized as LLDC, Bangladesh is the most heavily populated. Even after gaining independence, the nation repeatedly suffers from floods, cyclones, etc.; 1/3 of the nation is inundated every year. Shortage in almost all sectors (e.g. development funds, infrastructure, human resources, natural resources, etc.) also leaves both urban and rural regions very underdeveloped. The supply of safe drinking water is an issue of significant importance to Bangladesh. Since its independence, the majority of the population use surface water (rivers, ponds, etc.) leading to rampancy in water-borne diseases. The combined efforts of UNICEF, WHO, donor countries and the government resulted in the construction of wells. At present, 95% of the national population depend on groundwater for their drinking water supply, consequently leading to the decline in the mortality rate caused by contagious diseases. This condition, however, was reversed in 1990 by problems concerning contamination brought about by high levels of arsenic detected in groundwater resources. Groundwater contamination by high arsenic levels was officially announced in 1993. In 1994, this was confirmed in the northwestern province of Nawabganji where arsenic poisoning was detected. In the province of Bengal, in the western region of the neighboring nation, India, groundwater contamination due to high arsenic levels has been a problem since the 1980s.

    INTERNATIONAL FOOD POLICY RESEARCH INSTITUTE sustainable options for ending hunger and poverty BANGLADESHTHE SHAHAR PROJECT IFPRI is collaborating with CARE-Bangladesh to provide research and support for its SHAHAR project for improving urban livelihoods. he staggering growth of cities in developing countries Thas contributed to widespread urban poverty. Many of the urban poor live in unsanitary environments, have uncertain incomes, and lack necessary financial and health care services.These conditions exist in Bangladesh and appear likely to worsen.The populations of the cities in Bangladesh increase by more than 1 million every year. Many cities are growing at more than 8 percent per year, and they will double in size in less than 10 years. In 1997 CARE-Bangladesh undertook an assessment of the livelihood security of slum households in three cities in Bangladesh: Bogra, Khulna, and Tongi.Based on the findings of that study and a review of secondary literature, CARE- Bangladesh created the SHAHAR (Supporting Household James Garrett © IFPRI/ Activities for Hygiene, Assets, and Revenue) project. (Shahar means “city” in Bangla.) A component of the Integrated Food Security Program (IFSP) of CARE-Bangladesh, the RESEARCH FOCUS project was launched in mid-1999 and financed by the U.S. Project Leader: James Garrett Agency for International Development. IFPRI has provided research and technical assistance to help The SHAHAR project seeks to improve livelihood security CARE with SHAHAR’s program approach.

    Price Spreads in Cut-Flower Marketing: Some Evidence from Bangladesh

    Bangladesh J. Agric. Econs XXVII, 2 (2004) 87-97 Research Note PRICE SPREADS IN CUT-FLOWER MARKETING: SOME EVIDENCE FROM BANGLADESH S. K. Raha Masuma Siddika ABSTRACT Flower marketing has been expanding rapidly but in an unorganized way. The present study has examined the existing marketing system, estimated marketing cost, margins of different flowers of different marketing channels. Flower growers received 30.75% to 60.42% of the consumer's taka while 24.71% to 58.5% were spent as the marketing cost. The net marketing margin varied from 3.0% to 37.83% of consumer's taka. Growers used channel I most though it involved highest cost of all the channels. Adoption of proper measures for the solution of the current problems would improve the efficiency of the marketing system which will in turn increase grower's share in consumer's taka. I. INTRODUCTION In Bangladesh small -scale flower production has initially started in late seventies by some innovative growers with the production of tuberose but large- scale commercial production was started from mid-eighties in Jhikargacha Upazila of Jessore district. Now around 10000 hectares of land is under flower cultivation ( Siddika 2004). The major flower growing districts are Jessore, Savar, Chuadanga, Mymensingh and Gazipur . Tuberose, rose, gladiolus and marigold are the major commercial flowers grown in Bangladesh. It is assumed that Jessore accounted for 60 % of production area and 80% of the area is occupied by only tuberose. At present flowers are being produced per year on about 500 hectares of land in Jhikargachha and Sharsha Upazilas of Jessore district.
