  • 1 Small Area Estimation of Poverty in Rural
    1 Bangladesh Journal of Agricultural Economics, XL 1&2 (2019): 1-16 SMALL AREA ESTIMATION OF POVERTY IN RURAL BANGLADESH Md. Farouq Imam1 Mohammad Amirul Islam1 Md. Akhtarul Alam1* Md. Jamal Hossain1 Sumonkanti Das2 ABSTRACT Poverty is a complex phenomenon and most of the developing countries are struggling to overcome the problem. Small area estimation offers help to allocate resources efficiently to address poverty at lower administrative level. This study used data from Census 2011 and Household Income and Expenditure Survey (HIES)-2010. Using ELL and M-Quantile methods, this study identified Rangpur division as the poorest one where Kurigram is the poorest district. Finally, considering both upper and lower poverty lines this study identified the poverty estimates at upazila level of Rangpur division using ELL and M-Quantile methods. The analyses found that 32% of the households were absolute poor and 19% were extremely poor in rural Bangladesh. Among the upazilas under Rangpur division Rajarhat, Ulipur, Char Rajibpur, Phulbari, Chilmari, Kurigram Sadar, Nageshwari, and Fulchhari Upazilas have been identified as the poorest upazilas. Keywords: Small area, poverty, ELL, M-Quantile methods I. INTRODUCTION Bangladesh is a developing country in the south Asia. According to the recent statistics by Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS, 2017, HIES, 2010) the per capita annual income of Bangladesh is US$1610, estimated Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is 7.28, and the percentage below the poverty line (upper) is 24.30 percent. The population is predominantly rural, with about 70 percent people living in rural areas (HIES, 2016). In Bangladesh, poverty scenario was first surveyed in 1973-1974.

    Dhaka Univ. J. Biol. Sci. 27(1): 101-111, 2018 (January) A TAXONOMIC ACCOUNT OF PTERIDOPHYTIC FLORA OF ADAMPUR FOREST, MOULVIBAZAR DISTRICT, BANGLADESH NADRA TABASSUM* Department of Botany, University of Dhaka, Dhaka-1000, Bangladesh Key words: Taxonomic account, Pteridophytic flora, Adampur forest, Bangladesh Abstract A total of 17 pteridophyte species belonging to 11 genera and 9 families have been identified from Adampur forest of Moulvibazar district in Bangladesh are dealt with. Updated nomenclature with important synonyms, family name, English name, local name, citation of the specimen examined and a crisp description has been furnished under each species. Photographs of the species have been provided for easy identification. The voucher specimens have been deposited in the Dhaka University Salar Khan Herbarium, Department of Botany, University of Dhaka. Introduction Pteridophytes are widely distributed throughout the world. They show luxuriant growth from sea level to the highest mountains in moist and shady tropical and temperate forests(1). From the evolutionary point of view, pteridophytes are quite important for their evolutionary trend of vascular system and portraying the succession of seed habitat in the plants. Besides, they established a link between the lower group of plant and advanced seed bearing plants and consequently pteridophytes have been placed between the bryophytes and higher vascular plants. Despite being the ancient plants their vegetation is under threat in dominance of seed bearing plants(2). Some species are very beneficial to humans and many species attracts plant lovers for their graceful, fascinating and beautiful foliage (3). Although pteridophytes including ferns have been neglected due to its less economic importance but since ancient time ferns are of human interest for medical value as well.

Minority situations, its character and nature might differ from country to country but no doubt end result of same which is being experienced by every country is the humanitarian crisis. In Bangladesh, it is the religious, ethnic and indigenous minorities who were ruthlessly subjected to genocide and mass destruction during the nine months war of liberation in 1971. It is a matter of great regret and sorrow that even after 45 years of independence the religious, ethnic and indigenous minorities are the main target of mass atrocities.They are continuously suffering from communal persecution, discrimination, torture and deprivation in all sphere of life. They are also the main target of present terrorism which is being inspired and influenced by Islamic State, Taleban, Al-Qaida. The Hindus, Buddhists and Christians of the country which include approximately 2.5 million indigenous peoples, are being systematically eliminated through blatant discrimination, denial of access to legal protection and violence. Acting with complete impunity, the Muslim nationalists and extremists have conducted pogroms against the minorities whenever they have wanted to, and regardless of which political party has been in power.
