At the same time it was a learning experience too. There are a few persons I would like to thank, without their help and guidance I would not have been able to complete my thesis properly. First of all, I would like to express my deep and sincere gratitude to my honorable supervisor for accepting me as one of his thesis students. His wide knowledge and logical way of thinking have been a great value to me. His thoughtful inspiration and personal guidance have provided a good basis for the present thesis paper. In acknowledge highly my indebtedness to my teacher for his cooperation, guidance, and advice. When I was in trouble he sincerely and cordially helped me to understand. Without his cooperation and wise guidance this thesis would not have seen the light of day. I also thank all my respondents who willingly participated in this research and helped me to get my data even though they were severely injured and very much sick with amputated hands or legs or severe backbone injury on the bed of hospital. Without their cooperation and help the study would not have been possible. I appreciate all the helps and advices I got from my teachers and fellow friends about this thesis. Finally, I am indebted to the Department of Sociology, University of Dhaka, which offers the opportunity for its students to conduct a research at post-graduate level. January 2014 VIII Chapter One: Introduction 1.1 Background The readymade garment (RMG) sector stands at the core of the socio-economic development of Bangladesh. It is hardly exaggeration to say that economy of Bangladesh is what it is today mainly because of readymade garment industry. While a population of around 160 million for a small country like Bangladesh is considered a serious burden, with the rapid growth of RMG sector, it has turned into an invaluable asset. It employs around 4 million workers; more than 85% of them are women who are mostly illiterate, disadvantaged, vulnerable and economically poor portion of the population. This sector has become the largest foreign exchange earning sector, exporting apparel of all sorts to the USA, Europe and other developed countries. More than 79.6% of Bangladesh’s export earnings come from the garment industry in 2013. This industry enjoyed a steady rise from 30 enterprises in 1980 increased to about 5600 in 2012-13 fiscal year. Now, in terms of GDP, RMG’s contribution reaches around 15% in FY 2012-13 which was only 3% in FY 1990-91. This is a clear indication of the industry’s contribution to the overall national economy. The readymade garment industry of Bangladesh is the third-biggest exporter of clothes in the world, after China and Italy.

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.
