  • The Political Economy of Disaster Preparedness and Risk Reduction in Bangladesh
    The Political Economy of Disaster Preparedness and Risk Reduction in Bangladesh Sabhanaz Rashid Diya The Political Economy of Disaster Preparedness and Risk Reduction in Bangladesh By Sabhanaz Rashid Diya Executive Summary Bangladesh is cited as the most ‘climate vulnerable country’ in the world, facing the biggest risks of being affected by heavy floods, tenuous dry seasons, massive earthquakes and catastrophic tropical cyclones. In past decades, Bangladesh’s continuous battle against numerous natural hazards have pushed the government to make disaster management a national priority. The government treats disaster management through the lens of poverty alleviation: poorer households are more vulnerable to climate change than richer households. Therefore, the government, in partnership with international organizations, have invested heavily in improving development indicators that will effectively also make local communities more resilient to natural hazards. As a result, although Bangladesh has made great strides in tackling some of the most fatal natural disasters in the country, much of the government’s efforts have been response-centric. A central committee makes decisions – albeit the committee includes representatives from various stakeholders in disaster management – that are eventually implemented by public officials at the local level. Elected local public officials or the community has very little influence on how funds are allocated or which programs to adopt. This widens the ‘trust gap’ between the local community and the government. Field research also suggested the government tend to over-rely on the military and support of international organizations. Therefore, the government is negligent of improving its 1 own institutional capacity or employing skilled professionals in implementing more advanced technologies in making more accurate estimates of risks of natural disasters or developing early warning systems.

  • Bangabandhu and Evolution of Bangladesh
    769 International Journal of Progressive Sciences and Technologies (IJPSAT) ISSN: 2509-0119. © 2021 International Journals of Sciences and High Technologies http://ijpsat.ijsht-journals.org Vol. 25 No. 2 March 2021, pp. 78-89 Bangabandhu and Evolution of Bangladesh Kazi Ismat Jahan Suvra Lecturer, Department of Economics, Sheikh Hasina University, Netrokona, Bangladesh. Abstract – This paper aims to discuss the charismatic, strong, dedicated and visionary leadership quality of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. Descriptive qualitative research techniques carried out in this study. The paper shows that Bangabandhu was the real architect of Bangladesh, as he played a significant role in the entire liberation journey, which started in 1952 with the language revolution and proceeded through the democratic movement of 1962, the Six-Point Program of 1966, the Popular Movement of 1969, the enviable success of the election of 1970, and, most significantly, the Liberation War of 1971. The paper also presents haw Bangabandhu had become the unique leader of people and an inseparable part of our history. Keywords – Bangabandhu, charismatic, evolution, liberation war, language movement, six point. I. INTRODUCTION Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman (1920-1975) was the founder and Father of the Nation of Bangladesh, and he was called the greatest Bengali of all time. Within a day, Bangladesh was not established. In the unfulfilled dream of the ancient heroes of Bengal who brought it to their graves, it has persisted for centuries as an idea and an ideal (MacDermot, 1973). Bangabandhu, who inherited this inheritance, developed the idea into a deep and abiding love and gave it structure in the form of Bangladesh's map, which he etched on his heart.

  • Rajshahi-Sylhet-Violence Politics Impact-Meeting Report-2011
    Violence in Bangladesh Politics and its impact on Human Rights Divisional Meetings Organised by Odhikar at Sylhet and Rajshahi Divisional Towns held on July 21, 2011 and September17, 2011 Introduction On December 16, 1971 Bangladesh was born after a nine month long battle against the military-bureaucratic State of Pakistan. In the nationalist discourse of Bangladesh, the Pakistani rule is seen as ‘colonial’ in nature and the rise of national consciousness is explained essentially in terms of racial antagonism between the ‘Bangalees’ and ‘Pakistanis’. The economic explanation is provided by the well known ‘two economy theory; the essence of the argument is that the ruling class of Pakistan consciously pursued an economic policy that was different for the two wing of Pakistan and the Eastern wing was exploited by the Western wing.
