    6 BANGLADESH FRIDAY-SUNDAY, MARCH 26-28, 2021 26th March 2021 Golden Jubilee of Independence Bangladesh Our constitution was made on the basis of the spirit of the liberation war under his direction within just 10 months. In just three and a half years, he took war-torn Bangladesh to the list of least developed country. While Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib was advancing to build an exploitation-deprivation-free non-communal democratic 'Sonar Bangla' overcoming all obstacles, the anti-liberation forces brutally killed him along with most of his family members on 15 August 1975. After the assassination of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib, the development and progress of Bangladesh came to a halt. The politics of killing, coup and conspiracy started in our beloved motherland. The assassins and their accomplices promulgated the 'Indemnity Ordinance' to block the trial of this heinous murder in the history. Getting the public mandate in 1996, Bangladesh Awami League formed the government after long 21 years. After assuming the office, we took the initiatives to establish H.E. Mr. Md. Abdul Hamid H.E. Sheikh Hasina Bangladesh as a self-respectful in the comity of Hon’ble President of Hon’ble Prime Minister of nations.

  • Statement by H. E. Sheikh Hasina Prime Minister Government of the People's Republic of Bangladesh 22 April 2021 Bismillahir Ra
    Statement by H. E. Sheikh Hasina Prime Minister Government of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh 22 April 2021 Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim Honourable President Joe Biden, H.E. António Guterres, Excellencies. Assalamu Alaikum, and good morning. I thank President Biden for convening the Summit and inviting me to speak to this august gathering. Bangladesh deeply appreciates the United States’ return to the Paris Climate Agreement and is keen to engage with the international community. Excellencies, Despite being a climate vulnerable country with resource constraints, Bangladesh has emerged as a global leader on adaptation and mitigation. Every year we are spending about 5 billion dollars, about 2.5 percent of our GDP, on climate adaptation and resilience-building measures. The 1.1 million forcefully displaced Rohingyas from Myanmar whom we have sheltered worsened our vulnerability. Bangladesh is pursuing a low carbon development path. To raise our Nationally Determined Contribution-NDC and adaptation ambition, we have included new sectors in addition to the existing energy, industry and transport sectors in the mitigation process. We are planning to submit a quantified ambitious NDC by June 2021. Excellencies, Bangladesh is observing ‘Mujib Year’, marking the birth centenary of the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. We are planting 30 million saplings nationwide and adopted “Mujib Climate Prosperity Plan” to achieve low carbon economic growth. As the Chair of the Climate Vulnerable Forum-CVF and V20, Bangladesh’s key focus is to uphold the interests of the climate vulnerable countries. We are hosting the South Asian regional office of the Global Centre on Adaptation which is promoting locally-led adaptation solutions.

  • The Political Economy of Disaster Preparedness and Risk Reduction in Bangladesh
    The Political Economy of Disaster Preparedness and Risk Reduction in Bangladesh Sabhanaz Rashid Diya The Political Economy of Disaster Preparedness and Risk Reduction in Bangladesh By Sabhanaz Rashid Diya Executive Summary Bangladesh is cited as the most ‘climate vulnerable country’ in the world, facing the biggest risks of being affected by heavy floods, tenuous dry seasons, massive earthquakes and catastrophic tropical cyclones. In past decades, Bangladesh’s continuous battle against numerous natural hazards have pushed the government to make disaster management a national priority. The government treats disaster management through the lens of poverty alleviation: poorer households are more vulnerable to climate change than richer households. Therefore, the government, in partnership with international organizations, have invested heavily in improving development indicators that will effectively also make local communities more resilient to natural hazards. As a result, although Bangladesh has made great strides in tackling some of the most fatal natural disasters in the country, much of the government’s efforts have been response-centric. A central committee makes decisions – albeit the committee includes representatives from various stakeholders in disaster management – that are eventually implemented by public officials at the local level. Elected local public officials or the community has very little influence on how funds are allocated or which programs to adopt. This widens the ‘trust gap’ between the local community and the government. Field research also suggested the government tend to over-rely on the military and support of international organizations. Therefore, the government is negligent of improving its 1 own institutional capacity or employing skilled professionals in implementing more advanced technologies in making more accurate estimates of risks of natural disasters or developing early warning systems.

He is called the ববু "Father of the Nation" in Bangladesh. He served as the first Sheikh Mujibur Rahman President of Bangladesh and later as the Prime Minister of শখ মুিজবুর রহমান Bangladesh from 17 April 1971 until his assassination on 15 August 1975.[1] He is considered to be the driving force behind the independence of Bangladesh. He is popularly dubbed with the title of "Bangabandhu" (Bôngobondhu "Friend of Bengal") by the people of Bangladesh.

Abstract – This paper aims to discuss the charismatic, strong, dedicated and visionary leadership quality of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. Descriptive qualitative research techniques carried out in this study. The paper shows that Bangabandhu was the real architect of Bangladesh, as he played a significant role in the entire liberation journey, which started in 1952 with the language revolution and proceeded through the democratic movement of 1962, the Six-Point Program of 1966, the Popular Movement of 1969, the enviable success of the election of 1970, and, most significantly, the Liberation War of 1971. The paper also presents haw Bangabandhu had become the unique leader of people and an inseparable part of our history. Keywords – Bangabandhu, charismatic, evolution, liberation war, language movement, six point. I. INTRODUCTION Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman (1920-1975) was the founder and Father of the Nation of Bangladesh, and he was called the greatest Bengali of all time. Within a day, Bangladesh was not established. In the unfulfilled dream of the ancient heroes of Bengal who brought it to their graves, it has persisted for centuries as an idea and an ideal (MacDermot, 1973). Bangabandhu, who inherited this inheritance, developed the idea into a deep and abiding love and gave it structure in the form of Bangladesh's map, which he etched on his heart.
