There are many communities where majority of girls children got married before the age of 15. Children are engaged in hazourdous jobs like in tea stall, fish firm, brick fields and agricultural firms. 1.8 Access to basic services 10% of country’s children lives in Khulna Division of which 24% are either living in households under the 1$ day/person PPP-s threshold or experiencing severe deprivation of human need. 57% children are facing at least one severe deprivation of their basic needs. The coastal belt in Khulna division is prone to cyclones and flooding so it is a pocket of vulnerability, with approximately 3 million extremely poor people living there. These people suffer from a lack of fresh water (salinity problem), lack of income generating options (leading to urban migration), lack of access to basic services (health problems related to salinity), low levels of children attending school, lack of access to social protection 6 | P a g e 1.9Disability: Though there is a lack of reliable data on the total number of disable people in Satkhira district, they are commonly seen almost everywhere in the district.

No verdicts were announced until November, when the ICT issued death sentences in separate cases against Motiur Rahman Nizami and Mir Quasem Ali. At the same time, the Supreme Court Appellate Division upheld one of two death sentences against Mohammad Kamaruzzaman. All three men were prominent Jamaat leaders, and Jamaat called nationwide strikes in protest” (United States Department of State (25 June 2015) 2014 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices – Bangladesh). This report also states: “On August 10, Shafiqul Islam Masud, assistant secretary of the Jamaat-e-Islami Dhaka City Unit, was arrested, charged, and held in police custody with 154 others for arson attacks and vandalism in 2013. He was arrested and held four additional times in August and September 2014. According to a prominent human rights lawyer, Masud's whereabouts during his detentions were unknown, and lawyers were not allowed to speak with him. Defense lawyers were not allowed to speak before the court during his September 23 and 25 court appearances” (ibid). This document also points out that: “In some instances the government interfered with the right of opposition parties to organize public functions and restricted the broadcasting of opposition political events. Jamaat's appeal of a 2012 Supreme Court decision cancelling the party's registration continued” (ibid).

  • Profitability Analysis of Bagda Farming in Some Selected Areas of Satkhira District
    Progress. Agric. 20(1 & 2) : 221 – 229, 2009 ISSN 1017-8139 PROFITABILITY ANALYSIS OF BAGDA FARMING IN SOME SELECTED AREAS OF SATKHIRA DISTRICT A. N. M. Wasim Feroz1, M. H. A. Rashid2 and Mahbub Hossain3 Department of Agricultural Economics, Bangladesh Agricultural University Mymensingh 2202, Bangladesh ABSTRACT This study aimed at examining the relative profitability of shrimp production in some areas of Satkhira district. Farm level data were collected through interviewing 60 randomly selected farmers. Mainly tabular analysis was done to achieve the major objectives of the study. Cobb-Douglas production function was used to estimate the contribution of key variables to the production process of shrimp farming. Analysis of costs and returns showed that per hectare total cost of shrimp production was Tk. 1,06,791.00 and net return from shrimp production was Tk. 84,023.80. Production function analysis proved that inputs such as fry, human labour, fertilizers, manure, lime etc. had positive impact on output. The study also identified some problems and suggested some possible steps to remove these problems. If these problems could be solved bagda production would possibly be increased remarkably in the study area as well as in Bangladesh. Key words : Year-round bagda farming, Profitability, Functional analysis INTRODUCTION Agriculture sector contributes 21% (BER, 2008) to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Bangladesh economy as a whole of which fisheries sector’s share is 4.73%. Shrimp farming and related activities contribute significantly to the national economy of Bangladesh. The main areas of contribution are export earning and employment generation through on farm and off-farm activities.

In years with particular negative weather conditions – Cyclone, tidal surge, Flash flood, water logging, cold spells are created unemployment in addition to seasonal. In this context of vulnerability, seasonal food insecurity manifests itself in all three of its dimensions: availability; access and utilization.

Among these, Bangladesh with its capital Dhaka is today widely recognised to be one of the regions most vulnerable to climate change and its triggered associated impacts. Natural hazards that come from increased rainfall, rising sea levels, and tropical cyclones are expected to increase as climate changes, each seri- ously affecting agriculture, water & food security, human health and shelter. It is believed that in the coming decades the rising sea level alone in parallel with more severe and more frequent storm surges and stronger coastal ero- sion will create more than 20 million people to migrate within Bangladesh itself (Black et al., 2011).

II (Apr. 2016) PP 80-88 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.or Salinisation In South-West Region Of Bangladesh: Economic Impact On Paddy Production Kamrun Nahar1, Dr. Fauzia Hamid2 1(Masters Graduate, Economics Discipline, Khulna University, Khulna-9208, Bangladesh) 2(Professor, Economics Discipline, Khulna University, Khulna-9208, Bangladesh) Abstract : The economy of Bangladesh is typically dependent on agriculture which plays a crucial role in ensuring job opportunity, securing food supply as well as upgrading the livelihood practices of the inhabitants. Agriculture sector of Bangladesh involves various crop productions; of which rice is predominant. In recent time, salinity is a major threat to crop productivity, particularly in the coastal areas of Bangladesh which are potentially suited for rice production. The worst salinity conditions are reported from Khulna, Bagerhat, Satkhira and Patuakhali districts. In this background, the present study mainly aims at examining the impact of soil salinisation on paddy production. In this direction, two upazilas namely Paikgachha (having salinity level in the range 2-5 dS m-1 EC value) and Morrelganj (having salinity level in the range 10-22 dS m-1 EC value) has been selected purposively from Khulna and Bagerhat districts respectively. Here from a total of 120 paddy producing farms have been chosen to collect data on farm specific socioeconomic variables and soil samples to test for salinity. Study period covers September to January of 2014 and the paddy type under consideration is transplanted aman. Collected data were then subjected to descriptive and profitability analyses, hypothesis testing, and, production function estimation; where salinity has been considered as one of the explanatory variables.
