    CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION Main Report Chapter 1 Introduction Main Report CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the Study The Peoples Republic of Bangladesh has a population of 123 million (as of June 1996) and a per capita GDP (Fiscal Year 1994/1995) of US$ 235.00. Of the 48 nations categorized as LLDC, Bangladesh is the most heavily populated. Even after gaining independence, the nation repeatedly suffers from floods, cyclones, etc.; 1/3 of the nation is inundated every year. Shortage in almost all sectors (e.g. development funds, infrastructure, human resources, natural resources, etc.) also leaves both urban and rural regions very underdeveloped. The supply of safe drinking water is an issue of significant importance to Bangladesh. Since its independence, the majority of the population use surface water (rivers, ponds, etc.) leading to rampancy in water-borne diseases. The combined efforts of UNICEF, WHO, donor countries and the government resulted in the construction of wells. At present, 95% of the national population depend on groundwater for their drinking water supply, consequently leading to the decline in the mortality rate caused by contagious diseases. This condition, however, was reversed in 1990 by problems concerning contamination brought about by high levels of arsenic detected in groundwater resources. Groundwater contamination by high arsenic levels was officially announced in 1993. In 1994, this was confirmed in the northwestern province of Nawabganji where arsenic poisoning was detected. In the province of Bengal, in the western region of the neighboring nation, India, groundwater contamination due to high arsenic levels has been a problem since the 1980s.

  • Emis) to Capture Maternal Hypertension and Diabetes Services
    Designing and developing electronic Management Information System (eMIS) to capture maternal hypertension and diabetes services Background Bangladesh Maternal Mortality and Health Care Survey (BMMS) 2016 showed that 20% of maternal deaths were due to indirect causes; half of which are related to cerebrovascular and cardiovascular complications and which are common in uncontrolled hypertension and diabetics. The most recent (2017) Bangladesh Health and Demographic Survey (BDHS) and the WHO STEPwise Approach to NCD Risk Factor Surveillance (STEPS) have reported the prevalence of diabetes (8-10%) and hypertension (25-27%) among adults aged ≥18 years. The Non-communicable disease control (NCDC) programme of Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS), Ministry of Health & Family Welfare (MOHFW) Bangladesh recognizes the need for addressing NCDs in the population, especially among high- risk groups including pregnant women. icddr,b, with support from USAID’s Research for Decision Makers (RDM) Activity developed an Android app (NCD- eMIS system) for the NCDC to automate the NCD management model initiated in 2018, which was seen as critical for the success of the model in identification, referral and follow up across the continuum of care. Study area icddr,b has supported the piloting of this system in three Upazilas: • Baraigram Upazila of Natore District • Kotchadpur Upazila of Jhenaidah District • Saturia Upazila of Manikganj District Study activities In the NCD model, pregnant women of any age and females and males aged over 40 years are identified as “at risk population” or clients. Using the NCD-eMIS system, the CHWs visit the households and identify clients who need to be examined. They enroll and refer them to Community Clinics (CCs) for screening and/or Upazila Health Complexes (UHC) for diagnosis and management.

  • Original Research Article Assessment of Total Carbon Stock in Swietenia Macrophylla Woodlot at Jhenaidah District in Bangladesh
    Original Research Article Assessment of total carbon stock in Swietenia macrophylla woodlot at Jhenaidah district in Bangladesh . ABSTRACT Woodlot plantations are supposed to have a massive outlook in carbon sequestration. Presence of large area woodlot plantations in Bangladesh would store a significant quantity of carbon. The purpose of this study was to determine the carbon stocks in woodlot plantations in Jhenaidah district, Bangladesh. Sixty sample plots of woodlot plantations were purposively selected from three upazilla (Kotchandpur, Kaligong and Moheshpur) of Jhenaidah district. The plot size was 10×10 m. Every individual tree present in the sampling plot was indentified upto special level. Diameter at breast height and total tree height were measured for all individual trees in each sample plot. Above ground biomass was calculated using the equation of Chave et al. (2005) and below ground biomass was estimated using the equation of Cairns.et.al. (1997) and converted into carbon using the equation of Chave et al. (2005). The estimated average tree density was 1340 ± 104.24 stems ha-1ranging between 800 and 2400 stems ha-1. The estimated mean DBH and tree height were 19.52 cm and 12.57 m respectively. The total biomass in Mahagony (Switenia macrophylla) woodlot plantations ranged between 52.48 and 824.44 Mg ha-1 and the basal area in woodlot plantations ranged between 9.92 m2ha-1 and 86.21 m2ha-1. The average total biomass was 287.86 ± 22.64 Mg ha-1 and average basal area was 37.98 ± 2.31m2ha-1. In this study, the average carbon stock in Mahagony plantation was estimated to 143.93 ±11.32 Mg ha-1 ranging between 26.24 Mg ha-1 and 412.22 Mg ha-1.

  • Status of Pulses Varieties Adoption in Bangladesh: a Farm Level Study
    Bangladesh J. Agric. Econs XXVII, 2 (2004) 107-122 Research Note STATUS OF PULSES VARIETIES ADOPTION IN BANGLADESH: A FARM LEVEL STUDY M. A. Monayem Miah M. S. Akter M. A. Bakr ABSTRACT The study was conducted in pulse growing areas of Bangladesh during November 2003 to April 2004 for assessing the farm level adoption status of improved pulse varieties with farmers' attitudes toward pulse production. The overall adoption of pulse varieties was very encouraging since 44% of the farmers adopted improved pulses, and 52% of the total pulse area was devoted to its production. The highly adopted varieties were BARI Mash 1, 2 and 3; BARI Lentil 4 and BARI Mung 4 and 5. Indigenous mungbean had completely been replaced by improved varieties in the study areas. The adopters plowed lands and sowed seed according to the recommendation, but could not follow the recommended sowing method and fertilizer doses. The significantly higher probability of adopting improved pulse varieties exists in extension services, influence of family member and encouragement of neighbour. Farmers' attitude toward improved pulse production was very positive since 63% of the adopters wanted to increase their present area for improved pulse production in the next year. On the other side, various agro-socio-economic constraints made many farmers pessimistic toward pulse production. The scarcity of improved pulse seed was identified as a crucial problem for its higher adoption at farm level. I. INTRODUCTION Bangladesh has climatic conditions favorable for growing a diverse array of crops including pulse. Many varieties of pulses are grown in different parts of Bangladesh.

Abstract | A descriptive epidemiological study has been conducted using hospital database of Teaching Veterinary Hospital (TVH) at Jhenaidah Government Veterinary College ( JGVC) from July 2018 to June 2019. The study aimed to estimate the proportionate prevalence of different livestock and poultry diseases along with their spatiotemporal distribution and drug prescribing pattern. A total of 960 clinical cases were recorded during the study period. Ectoparasitic cases were proportionately higher in cattle (25.2%), whereas Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR) cases were more frequent in goat (53.4%). The proportionate prevalence of other cases in cattle was Fascioliasis (14.3%), Myiasis (11.2%) and Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) (7.2%). The proportionate prevalence of other cases in goats were vitamin and mineral deficiency (12.3%), bloat (5.2%), abscess (4.7%), and dog bite (1.2%). Again, the proportionate prevalence of poultry diseases were Infectious Bursal Disease (IBD) (41.2%), salmonellosis (33.4%), fowl cholera (13.7%) and pox (7.8%).
