Rabindranath Soren Chairperson Kapaeeng Foundation Human Rights Report 2009-2010 on Indigenous Peoples in Bangladesh - 6 - EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Indigenous Peoples of Bangladesh are one of the most deprived groups in many aspects of economic, social, cultural and political rights mainly due to their status of ethnic minority. Evidences show that the indigenous people of the country have very limited access to basic human rights including right to basic public services. I. Introduction Bangladesh has ratified all major international human rights treaties and conventions. Bangladesh is legally bound to comply with these international human rights treaties. But it does not comply with them so far as the indigenous peoples are concerned. The situation of implementation of the provisions of the aforesaid treaties is far from good. The National Parliament passed the National Human Rights Commission Act on 9 July 2009. Investigation of human rights violation on indigenous/ Adivasi and ethnic minorities by the army and law enforcement agencies was remained out of jurisdiction of the National Human Rights Commission. In the general election, 4 indigenous candidates for Member of Parliament (MP) won the election while Awami League also nominated a women MP among from indigenous community from Cox’s Bazaar district. In the third Upazila Parishad election, 15 indigenous candidates were elected as chairman, 15 indigenous women as woman vice-chairperson

The disaster killed an estimated 160 persons, including 115 persons in Rangamati alone. According to the Chittagong Divisional Health Office Control Room Report, a total of 187 injured persons were admitted in local level hospitals. Approximately 85% of patients were admitted in Rangamati. While landslide related disaster occurs nearly every year, the second highest death toll of 127 deceased persons was recorded in 2007 [Disaster Forum, June 2017]. Monsoon rains caused severe flooding in low-lying areas to significantly damage road and communication infrastructure. Flood water rendered remote communities in Bandarban, Chittagong, and Rangamati districts were inaccessible by road. On June 14th, mudslides in southeast Bangladesh claimed additional lives in Cox's Bazaar and Khagrachari districts to further damage homes and infrastructure.

HOSSAIN1, M. KHATUN2, M. A. MATIN3 AND M. F. DEWAN4 Keywords: Hill regions, fruits, area, production, productivity, trend and growth rate. The fruits have vital role in making human diet balanced. Standard of living of people generally judged by per capita production and consumption of fruits (Bairwa et al., 2012). Bangladesh is producing a variety of fruits owing to its various agro-climatic conditions. Perennial crops like trees normally remain as grossly under exploited potential resources in hill agriculture. Fruits are usually grown by the hilly farmers and these crops give them few opportunities. Fruits play a unique role in developing countries like Bangladesh, both economic and social sphere for improving income and nutritional status, particularly for hilly people. Besides nutritional advantages, there are other competing reasons for which fruit production in hilly areas deserves preference. These include: (i) due to agro climatic features, horticulture is the only vocation through which higher income per unit of land can be generated. (ii) fruit farming helps in proper utilization of areas (iii) fruit cultivation allows optimum utilization of the gift of nature in making it possible to upgrade inferior fruit trees into superior ones by top working and by adopting other techniques of vegetative propagation (iv) given suitable combination, fruit farming can even be taken as a complementary occupation in hills to a set of other business propositions (Wasim, 2011). Siddiqu (2001) reported that very good quality litchi grows in the Chittagong district in hill area.
