The total budget to implement service providers and traders. this project is Euro 28, 05,280. Landless, marginal and even smallholder farmers lack updated production technologies, quality inputs, negotiation skills for production and marketing. Understanding the real potential for diversifying livelihoods and improving skills and knowledge the project provided 15, 000 vulnerable, marginal farming households-VMFHs (6000 VMFHs involved in crop and vegetable production, 5000 VMFHs involved in livestock rearing, 4000 VMFHs involved in fisheries business) and 300 service providers skills development training, arranged exposure visits, value chain tour, learning Group members updating record book sessions etc. to enhance their knowledge on in group meeting. respective field. Using participatory process, the project supported the community to form groups so that they can have stronger voice in negotiating for improved inputs, reduce costs and a forum to share common problems, explore solutions and identify solution Capacity Building providers. Group meeting. More than 60% farmers improved their production resulting in monthly household income increasing by 50 to 60%. Practical session of skill development training for agro-machinery service providers. Service providers visit at least once in a month in each producer group and conduct learning sessions on issues like cattle disease, cow shed management, fodder preparation, pond management, recommended doses of fertilizer, pesticide, method of cultivation, irrigation, post production management etc. A service provider facilitating learning session at field visit for producer group members. Before starting the season the selected producers were given skill development training on issues like quality seeds, seed bed preparation techniques, line sowing, application and dosage of pesticide, fertilizer, and the right time for harvesting, processing and grading the product, disease control mechanisms for cattle, feed preparation, de-worming and timely vaccination; better pond management, cage culture and fish feed preparation, disease control etc.; service providers received training on seed production and preservation, organic fertilizer preservation, farm machinery repair and maintenance, fisheries, animal health services, artificial insemination, fodder cultivation etc. As the project working area is flood prone and remains water logged, there is a scarcity of green grass for cattle. In order to solve this problem and improve the productive and reproductive health of cattle the preparation and feeding of Urea Molasses Straw (UMS) has also been initiated under this project. Improved practice of cattle rearing and management increased milk production and improved the livelihood of the producers. Agricultural input services of large private companies are accessible up to district level. Most of the poor farmers living in village do no have access to the quality inputs. With an aim to ensure there are trained local service providers, providing accessible, affordable and timely quality inputs and services for the poor farmers, service providers were given skill development training on seed production and preservation, organic fertilizer preservation, farm machinery repair and maintenance, fisheries, animal health services, artificial insemination and fodder cultivation issues to increase their knowledge and skill on their respective fields and establish linkage with line Livestock Service Provider providing advice to the cattle owner about the doses of medicine. departments for further assistance as and when needed by the service providers. Project ensures that they have adequate understanding of their market and the demand for their services and hence organized activity like service market assessment, exposure visits, value chain tour etc. and linked them with input suppliers so that they can be updated with new knowledge and get products at competitive price. Now the service providers for their own interest and business expansion conducting regularly learning session in producer groups, providing services at competitive price, organizing campaign for vitamin, de-worming, agricultural product fair, awareness raising and cultural events for demand generation etc. through their associations. As farmers adopt new ideas and develop their own livelihoods and incomes, service providers will experience an increased demand for their services and enjoy higher incomes.

Abdullah-Al-Fuad June 2016 Department of Sociology University of Dhaka Dhaka University Institutional Repository THE NATURE AND EXTENT OF HOMICIDE IN BANGLADESH: A CONTENT ANALYSIS ON REPORTS OF MURDER IN DAILY NEWSPAPERS T. M. Abdullah-Al-Fuad Reg no. 111 Session: 2011-2012 Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Philosophy June 2016 Department of Sociology University of Dhaka Dhaka University Institutional Repository DEDICATION To my parents and sister Dhaka University Institutional Repository Abstract As homicide is one of the most comparable and accurate indicators for measuring violence, the aim of this study is to improve understanding of criminal violence by providing a wealth of information about where homicide occurs and what is the current nature and trend, what are the socio-demographic characteristics of homicide offender and its victim, about who is most at risk, why they are at risk, what are the relationship between victim and offender and exactly how their lives are taken from them. Additionally, homicide patterns over time shed light on regional differences, especially when looking at long-term trends. The connection between violence, security and development, within the broader context of the rule of law, is an important factor to be considered. Since its impact goes beyond the loss of human life and can create a climate of fear and uncertainty, intentional homicide (and violent crime) is a threat to the population. Homicide data can therefore play an important role in monitoring security and justice.

  • Productivity, Profitability and Resource Use Efficiency: a Comparative Analysis Between Conventional and High Yielding Rice in Rajbari District, Bangladesh
    ТРАЕКТОРИЯ НАУКИ www.pathofscience.org Международный электронный научный журнал. 2016. Т. 2, № 10 ISSN 2413-9009 Productivity, Profitability and Resource Use Efficiency: A Comparative Analysis between Conventional and High Yielding Rice in Rajbari District, Bangladesh Md. Yahia Bapari Pabna University of Science & Technology, Department of Economics, Lecturer, Bangladesh Abstract. The study was analyzed the determinants, costs and benefits and resources allocation of both conventional and high yielding rice cultivation over the Rajbari district of Bangladesh. Data were accumulated from 300 regular rice growers of conventional and high yielding varieties and random sampling technique was applied for selecting the respondents from the study area from which information was collected through pre- tested questionnaire. Cobb – Douglas production function and gross margin were mainly used to determine the productivities and profits of both rice and the marginal value of the product was highly recommended to derive the optimal use of the resources. Results obtained by applying ordinary least square method showed that the most important factors of production in the study area were irrigation, labor, fertilizer and insecticide costs whose elasticities were 0.904, 0.048, 0.045 and 0.044 respectively and insignificant factors were seed and ploughing costs whose elasticities were – 0.009 and 0.030 respectively for high yielding rice. On the other hand, irrigation, insecticide, seed and ploughing costs of elasticities 0.880, 0.589, 0.116 and – 0.127 respectively were the important factors and minor role playing factors were labor and fertilizer costs whose elasticities were 0.098 and 0.077 respectively for conventional yielding rice. The core message from productivity analysis was that the irrigation was key variable which played a positive and vital role in producing rice of both varieties.
