Rimi Received 10 August 2020, Revised 23 November 2020, Accepted 24 December 2020, Published online 31 December 2020 A B S T R A C T The study investigated on soil nutrients in agriculture practiced high, medium high, medium low and low land at Kalihati upazila of Tangail district during October 2017 to June 2018. Thirty soil samples were collected from different land types at the study area and analyzed at Soil Resource Development Institute (SRDI) to determine soil nutrient status. The soil parameters under investigation included pH, organic matter (OM), total nitrogen (N), available phosphorus (P), available zinc (Zn), available iron (Fe), available manganese (Mn), available boron (B), exchangeable potassium (K), exchangeable calcium (Ca) and exchangeable magnesium (Mg). Results indicated that many of the soil nutrient levels decreased such as pH (5.63 to 6.40), P (3.50 to 23.20 µg g-1), Zn (3.27 to 3.60 µg g-1), Mn (21.12 to 57.90 µg g-1), B (0.17 to 0.60 µg g-1), K (0.18 to 0.30 meq 100g-1) and Ca (5.75 to 9.10 meq 100g-1). On the contrary, the average content of OM (2.30 to 1.40%), Fe (248.22 to 161.10 µg g-1) and Mg (2.07 to 1.80 meq 100g-1) were increased.

  • Participatory Rural Development Project-2/ Link Model of BRDB
    A Model for Rural Development Participatory Rural Development Project(PRDP-2) - Link Model of BRDB Background: Administration system of Bangladesh consists of Central, District, Upazila and Union. From Central to Upazila level , the administrative system is well established. Upazila , with average population of 250,000, is a key local government institution which provides extension services to rural population such as agriculture, health, education and others. Nation Building Departments (NBDs) at Upazila level have extension workers who deliver services by direct visit to beneficiaries. But the service delivery mechanism below the Upazila level is still weak. Union is the frontline local government organization closest to rural people. Union is managed by one Union Parishad Chairman, twelve Union Parishad Members who are elected by direct voting of villagers , and one Union Parishad Secretary appointed by the Local Government Division. Mechanism on planning ,implementing and monitoring the development activities of Union is very poor and its financial resources is very limited. Under such circumstances, the Participatory Rural Development Project(PRDP Phase 1) was implemented in 4 Unions in Kalihati Upazila from 2000 to 2004 to establish Link Model, which is a frame work to incorporate the needs of rural population in the process of development by linking villagers and government institutions concerning rural development. The Participatory Rural Development Project (PRDP Phase 2) , is the follow up project aiming at the establishment of Link Model in an entire Upazila , Kalihati, and expanding it into wider areas of Bangladesh. Bangladesh Rural Development Board (BRDB) in collaboration with the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) have developed a model of effective institutional mechanism for coordinating the activities of all concerned , working in the field of rural development and poverty reduction by strengthening the local governance at the union and village levels.

Among these three plants, two plants were made from cow-dung and one was made from poultry excreta. In addition, the survey data recorded from the interviewee added valuable information about using wastes for commercial purposes, create employment opportunity as well as to improve socio-economic condition of the local people by producing biogas in the study area.

  • Inventory of LGED Road Network, March 2005, Bangladesh
    The Chief Engineer Local Government Engineering Department PREFACE It is a matter of satisfaction that LGED Road Database has been published through compilation of data that represent all relevant information of rural road network of the country in a structured manner. The Rural Infrastructure Maintenance Management Unit of LGED (former Rural Infrastructure Maintenance Cell) took up the initiative to create a road inventory database in mid nineties to register all of its road assets country-wide with the help of customized software called, Road and Structure Database Management System. The said database was designed to accommodate all relevant information on the road network sequentially and the system was upgraded from time to time to cater the growing needs. In general, the purpose of this database is to use it in planning and management of LGED's rural road network by providing detailed information on roads and structures. In particular, from maintenance point of view this helps to draw up comprehensive maintenance program including rational allocation of fund based on various parameters and physical condition of the road network.
