MISSION To educate and train selected senior Armed Forces and Civil Services officers at operational and strategic level of national security and development. To focus on long term national security and development issues and suggest appropriate national response. To support the national agencies in policy making on security and development matters. To support the Armed Forces on strategic and operational level planning of warfare. To strengthen Civil-Military relation in Bangladesh.

V FOREWORD National Defence College is on its track since 1999 with a vision: ‘‘to develop as the national centre of distinction on security studies - meeting the challenges of the 21st century’’. Since then the college has been relentlessly presenting time - befitting academic curricula to the potential policy planners, leaders and strategic thinker of the future. Intent of the college is to create a balanced outlook and bring a visualization amongst the Course Members with a strategic and operational level understanding. Now 15 years track record recognizes this premier institution at home and abroad profoundly. National Defence College has always been emphasizing on conducting research in contemporary issues on defence and national security. The main aim of the research is to enable Course Members to make an original contribution to a subject of national or international interest, that has a bearing on the national security of any country. The college journal is a mirror image of the research works that are carried out at the college. I am pleased to note that the second part of 12th issue of the NDC Journal contains the selected “Individual Research Paper” of the Course Members of both National Defence Course - 2012 and Armed Forces War Course - 2012. The Editorial Board has accommodated assorted subjects and stepped up the excellence. It is my firm believe that the readers will find the articles worth reading and academically thought-provoking. I congratulate all the members who have contributed to this journal. I thank the Editorial Board for editing and publishing the journal timely. This issue of the journal is yet another landmark in the path of advancement of National Defence College, Bangladesh. MOLLAH FAZLE AKBAR Lieutenant General Commandant VI EDITORIAL NDC Journal (Volume 12) is a bi-annual publication of National Defence College, the premier national centre of excellence on Security, Strategy and Development Studies. The articles for the journal are selected from individual research papers that the members of the Course had submitted as part of the course curriculum. The Course Members, during nearly a yearlong stay in the NDC spent a lot of time doing research on security and development related issues. The College believes that a senior officer from military and civil service should have a good understanding of the major economic, political and social issues facing the nation and be able to recommend measures to face the challenges. National Defence College has been very regular in bringing out its `NDC Journal` every year on time. This speaks of highly of the laborious effort and genuine commitment on the part of both the editorial staff and writers. While research papers are usually of 10000 -15000 words, the abridged versions are of 4000 -6000 words. The abridgement is executed in a manner that the inner significance and depth of the contents do not lose their objectives and preciseness. Sixty three members of the National Defence Course-2012 and twenty four members of Armed Forces War Course-2012, as integral part of their course requirement, prepared Individual Research Papers (IRP) on topics pertinent to national security and warfare strategy. Out of all IRPs in total 9 (nine) have been adjudged for publication in the current issue in abridged form. The articles reflect complex and intricate multidimensional issue emanated from the long diversified experiences and the curriculum based deliberations and discourse during their trainings on various topics concerning comprehensive national security. This volume includes papers of different categories concerning national security. These draw attention to Impact of Good Governance on National Security of Bangladesh, Police – Public Relations: Confidence Building for Law Enforcement in Bangladesh, Security Challenges for Pakistan in 21st Century, The Fall of LTTE – Implications for National, Regional and International Security, Community Health Clinic in Bangladesh: An Assessment of the Essential Service

  • TON-UP Watling Leaves New Zealand ON
    Sports FRIDAY, OCTOBER 11, 2013 Hotspot dumped for return Ashes series — report SYDNEY: The controversial Hotspot technology will not be available to umpires to review decisions in the upcom- ing Ashes series between Australia and England, its inven- tor Warren Brennan told local media. Hotspot, which uses infrared cameras to determine whether the ball has struck the batsman, bat or pad, was the subject of much contro- versy in the Ashes in England series earlier this year, which the hosts won 3-0. With a second series in Australia getting underway in Brisbane on Nov. 21, Brennan told the Sydney Morning Herald that the technology had been dumped by host broadcaster Channel Nine for cost reasons. “It’s their decision and that’s what’s been communicat- ed to us. As far as I’m concerned, it is final,” Brennan, a for- mer employee of Channel Nine, told the paper. “We’re just moving on with things. Channel Nine have got a new deal with Cricket Australia which I know has cost them a lot more money. I gather there had to be some restructuring of costs.” Channel Nine said it was not in a position to comment on the matter at this stage. “The Nine Network are still finalising arrangements with our various stakeholders for the coming season,” a spokeswoman said via e-mail. “Comprehensive details of our upcoming Ashes cover- age will be available shortly.” Although by no means at the centre of every controversial umpiring decision during the first series in July and August, there were several occa- sions when Hotspot failed to pick up edges.

  • Daniel Vettori (New Zealand 1996 – 2012)
    Daniel Vettori (New Zealand 1996 – 2012) Daniel Vettori is the youngest man to play Test cricket for New Zealand, and has gone on to play 113 Tests, becoming the most capped Kiwi. Quickly he became a regular in the Test team as his country’s leading spinner. However, Vettori grew frustrated with his batting, feeling that poor performances were letting down the team. After all, he had batted up the order in his other representative sides, and still considered himself a guy who could bat. In 2003 Daniel devoted time to his batting. “I spoke long and hard with Stephen Fleming and New Zealand Cricket’s technical advisor Ashley Ross about tightening up. Effectively, I modelled myself on Flem because he’d just overhauled his technique and was proving very successful. We were both tall left-handers … I don’t think we could ever be mistaken for each other … but there were elements that I definitely tried to copy from him … playing as late as possible and using the raised back lift but not with cocked wrists … I think the biggest adjustment was a mental one in that I simply wanted to bat for long periods. I didn’t want to throw my wicket away and I wanted to play straight. I worked hard in the nets and I played straight in match situations.” The work paid off. Daniel’s batting improved so much that he went on to become only the 8th player to manage the double of 3000 Test runs and 300 wickets (the other seven being Shane Warne, Kapil Dev, Richard Hadlee, Shaun Pollock, Ian Botham, Imran Khan and Chaminda Vaas).

Tk. 35 USD 5 ISSN 1818‐1538 C52012_1DR105_ARD The Centre for Policy Dialogue (CPD), established in 1993, is a civil society initiative to promote an ongoing dialogue between the principal partners in the decision making and implementing process. The dialogues are designed to address important policy issues and to seek constructive solutions to these problems. Over the past years, CPD has organised a series of such dialogues at local, regional and national levels. CPD has also organised a number of South Asian bilateral and regional dialogues as well as international dialogues to pursue for the LDC interests in various fora including WTO, UN and other multilateral organisations. These dialogues have brought together ministers, opposition frontbenchers, MPs, business leaders, NGOs, donors, professionals and other functional groups in the civil society within a non‐confrontational environment to promote focused discussions. CPD seeks to create a national policy consciousness where members of civil society will be made aware of critical policy issues affecting their lives and will come together in support of particular policy agendas which they feel are conducive to the well‐being of the country.
