Semantic web approach for dealing with administrative boundary revisions: A case study of Dhaka City iii ABSTRACT Dhaka City is the capital of Bangladesh and boundary revisions of Dhaka city refers to the changes of Dhaka city administrative boundary or jurisdiction over time. Dhaka is growing very fast in terms of population and area. So, government is redefining city boundaries and also making big units into several parts for better city management. Now, the challenge is to deal with these changes of administrative regions that seem to be helpful to match with census record that comes out every ten to fifteen years. Dhaka city boundary revisions dataset contains data about the name of the administrative unit, type of administrative unit, year of establishment, year of data record, geometry of administrative unit defining the jurisdiction, type of revisions occurred in the administrative units, time of revisions and the number of subdivisions inside an administrative unit. This thesis aims to integrate Dhaka city boundary revision dataset using semantic web technology that preserves information about changes occurred in the Dhaka city boundary over time.

    Revisit to Dhaka University As the Symbol of Bengal Partition Sowmit Chandra Chanda Dr

    Academic Ramification in Colonial India: Revisit to Dhaka University as the Symbol of Bengal Partition Sowmit Chandra Chanda Dr. Neerja A. Gupta PhD Research Scholar under Dr. Neerja A. Director & Coordinator, Department of Gupta, Department of Diaspora and Diaspora and Migration Studies, SAP, Migration Studies, SAP, Gujarat Gujarat University, Ahmedabad, India. University, Ahmedabad, India. Abstract: It has been almost hundred years since University of Dhaka was established back in 1921. It was the 13th University built in India under the Colonial rule. It was that like of dream comes true object for those people who lived in the eastern part of Indian Sub-continent under Bengal presidency in the British period. But when the Bengal partition came into act in 1905, people from the new province of East Bengal and Assam were expecting a faster move from the government to establish a university in their capital city. But, with in 6 years, the partition was annulled. The people from the eastern part was very much disappointed for that, but they never left that demand to have a university in Dhaka. After some several reports and commissions the university was formed at last. But, in 1923, in the first convocation of the university, the chancellor Lord Lytton said this university was given to East Bengal as a ‘splendid Imperial compensation’. Which turns our attention to write this paper. If the statement of Lytton was true and honest, then certainly Dhaka University stands as the foremost symbol of both the Bengal Partition in the academic ramification. Key Words: Partition, Bengal Partition, Colony, Colonial Power, Curzon, University, Dhaka University etc.

Empirical research with this ‘community’ as it negotiates the lines drawn between legal status and statelessness captures an important historical moment. It represents a critical evaluation of the way ‘political space’ is contested at the local level and what this reveals about the nature and boundaries of citizenship. The thesis argues that in certain transition states the construction and contestation of citizenship is more complicated than often discussed. The ‘crafting’ of citizenship since the colonial period has left an indelible mark, and in the specificity of Bangladesh’s historical imagination, access to, and understandings of, citizenship are socially and spatially produced.

According to the Bangladesh Environment Conservation Rules 1997 (GOB, 1997), construction of a power plant project falls under the RED category. Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) followed by Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) including Environmental Management Plan are required for these types of projects for getting environmental clearance from the Department of Environment (DOE). According to the World Bank (1999) operational policy OP 4.01, this project is classified as an Environmental Category A project, requiring an Environmental Assessment for the construction and operation of the project with recommendations for appropriate mitigation and management measures. Since a detailed environmental assessment of the proposed project is being carried out, the DOE has exempted the IEE of the project in response to the request by the Electricity Generation Company of Bangladesh Limited (EGCB).
