A K M Abdullahil Baquee, rcds, ndu, psc Major General Senior Directing Staff (Army) VI ABSTRACT INTEGRATION OF SPECIAL EDUCATION WITH NATIONAL EDUCATION SYSTEM: BANGLADESH PERSPECTIVE Brigadier General Md Mostagousur Rahman Khan, BSP, SGP, ndc, afwc, psc Equivalency in different forms of education is of great importance. In Bangladesh, three main educational courses are existing: General Education, Madrasa Education, and Technical and Vocational Education. Among these systems corresponding or parallel values or grades are also present. However, there is another form of education existing in Bangladesh known as special education for the children with special needs. But this special form of education does not have any corresponding level or values parallel to other forms of existing education system of Bangladesh. The aim of the present research is to frame an equivalent integrated education system combining all four types of available education systems (General Education, Madrasa Education, Technical and Vocational Education and special Education) of Bangladesh. Furthermore, this research has also addressed the common area of education where all children including the special need children will learn, educate and socialize together in the same class room. Hence, the early childhood development program (ECDP) has also been studied in the context of global perspective in order to propose an ECDP model integrating all children. The researcher followed mixed method approach for the study which included questionnaire survey, semi-structured interview and document analysis. Academicians, special educators and therapists were chosen to conduct the study. Related literature has been studied for the comparison with a view to equalizing different forms of education and an appropriate integrated education structure and ECDP model structure for Bangladesh has been proposed. Key Words: Special Education, National Education System, Childhood Development Program ROLE OF HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT FOR ENHANCEMENT OF KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT IN BANGLADESH ARMY: A STUDY Brigadier General Md Mizanur Rahman, ndc Human Resources Management (HRM) and Knowledge Management (KM) are considered two of the most important factors within organizations that help them to achieve a competitive advantage. The efficient and effective HRM can help VII the organization and its managers to create conditions for prudent management of the members and their knowledge in the organization. Currently Bangladesh Army is thriving to transform its manpower from moderate to high knowledge intensive, aiming to immerse itself in higher value added activities to continually sustain the competitiveness with the rivalries. However, there is an urgent need to revitalize its existing HRM practices for the enhancement of the ongoing initiatives of managing the organizational knowledge capital. The objective of the study was to identify the shortcomings in the current HRM in Bangladesh Army in enhancing the KM for better organizational performance. The intention was to provide an insight for the hierarchy on the concept of KM and help in identifying the reforms Bangladesh Army may need in the existing HR system for success in KM. The study examined six factors of HRM that may influence the KM in Bangladesh Army. These factor are: Recruitmentand Selection, Training and Development, Performance Appraisal, Career Management, Rewards and Benefits and Disciplinary Measures. The theoretical framework was drawn out and questionnaire was designed based on the factors chosen. The data collected were later analyzed and inferences were drawn there from. The research evidently found that certain reforms in the current HRM in Bangladesh Army are very essential to enhance the overall KM of the officers. The most important one is to conceive KM as a mainstream concept and developing conducive strategy that will enhance the overall KM process. Few other significant reforms the research recommends based on the findings which of all validate the hypothesis. The paper has great practical implications, because the policy makers of Bangladesh

    5. PRELIMINARY FACILITY DESIGN 5.1 Preliminary Design of River

    THE FEASIBILITY STUDY OF PADMA BRIDGE FINAL REPORT – EXECUTIVE SUMMARY - MARCH 2005 results of simulations suggest that the hydraulic design parameters for the preliminary designs are appropriate and adverse impacts due to the project construction will be minor in terms of hydrodynamics and river morphology for the design flood under 2003/04 conditions. The impacts, indicated as the differences in the ‘without project’ and ‘with project’ scenario conditions, are minor as a whole. For the design flood of the 100-year return period, the increment of the highest water level is almost negligible and only a +0.1m/sec increment would occur in the depth-averaged flow velocity. Two-dimensional Modeling and Simulation (2003/04 Padma 2-D Long-term Model): The long-term simulation represents the indicative tendency for riverbed scour or deposition for locations for periods of 5 and 10 years respectively. The simulation results suggest that no large impact in terms of mid- and long-term morphological processes would be expected from the project construction. (3) Estimate of Maximum Scour Depth Types of Riverbed Scour: Natural and structure-induced scours were taken into account in the estimation of maximum scour depth. The natural scour was estimated as the sum of bend and confluence scours that could occur simultaneously under the worst case scenario, while structure-induced scours such as those around the bank protection works and bridge piers were calculated under natural scour flow conditions. Design Maximum Scour Depth (DMSD): A total scour depth was calculated assuming the worst combination of the relevant types of scour. In order to account for extra scour, which may be induced by unforeseen and compounding structural influences, the total scour was multiplied by a factor of 1.20 to determine the design maximum scour depth (DMSD).

Aminul Haque 2 and Angela Thompson 1 1 Northwest Hydraulic Consultants, Edmonton, AB T6X 0E3, Canada; [email protected] 2 Bangladesh Water Development Board, Dhaka 1205, Bangladesh; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 27 September 2020; Accepted: 25 October 2020; Published: 27 October 2020 Abstract: Protecting against riverbank erosion along the world’s largest rivers is challenging. The Bangladesh Delta, bisected by the Brahmaputra River (also called the Jamuna River), is rife with complexity. Here, an emerging middle-income country with the world’s highest population density coexists with the world’s most unpredictable and largest braided, sand-bed river. Bangladesh has struggled over decades to protect against the onslaught of a continuously widening river corridor. Many of the principles implemented successfully in other parts of the world failed in Bangladesh. To this end, Bangladesh embarked on intensive knowledge-based developments and piloted new technologies. After two decades, successful, sustainable, low-cost riverbank protection technology was developed, suitable for the challenging river conditions. It was necessary to accept that no construction is permanent in this morphologically dynamic environment. What was initially born out of fund shortages became a cost-effective, systematic and adaptive approach to riverbank protection using improved knowledge, new materials, and new techniques, in the form of geobag revetments. This article provides an overview of the challenges faced when attempting to stabilize the riverbanks of the mighty rivers of Bangladesh. An overview of the construction of the major bridge crossings as well as riverbank protection schemes is detailed.

    In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful Bangladesh on a Pathway to Prosperity Madam Speaker 1. I seek your kind permission to place before this august House the supplementary budget for FY 2017-18 and the proposed budget for FY 2018-19. Chapter I Introduction and Background 2. At the outset, I would like to thank Allah, the most gracious and merciful, for granting me the opportunity to place before Parliament my 12th budget. He bestowed upon me His boundless mercy which enables me to perform the daunting task of formulating budget this year even at the age of 85. Let me start with paying my profound respect to the greatest Bengalee of all times, the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman who by establishing Bangladesh as an independent state, provided a person like me with the opportunity of presenting the national budget for the 12th time. I also pay tribute to the four most competent comrades of Bangabandhu and national leaders–Shaheed Syed Nazrul Islam, Shaheed Tajuddin Ahmed, Shaheed Captain M. Mansur Ali and Shaheed AHM Kamruzzaman. I recall with deep respect the valiant freedom fighters for their bravery and the womenfolk who were brutally persecuted during the liberation war. I also recall with tormented heart Bangamata Sheikh Fazilatunnesa Mujib, relatives of Bangabandhu and others who embraced martyrdom on 15th August 1975. I remember the innumerable martyrs who sacrificed their lives in all the mass movements including language movement, six-point demand movement, mass upsurge of 1969 and other democratic movements. 1 3. I am presenting this budget at such a time which is simultaneously the best phase of Bangladesh’s economic success and the last budget of Hon’ble Prime Minister’s consecutive second term.

There are 213 rivers in our country where 20 major bridges were constructed in our country. Five more bridges are now under construction among them Padma Multipurpose Bridge is the largest and most challenging. It will be the first fixed river crossing for road traffic and it will connect Louhajong, Munshiganj to Shariatpur and Madaripur, linking the south-west of the country, to northern and eastern regions. With 150 m span, 6150 m total length and 18.10 m width it is going to be the largest bridge in the Padma-Brahmaputra-Meghna river basins of country in terms of both span and the total length. The study discusses about both positive and negative impacts of the project on different aspects of Bangladesh.
