Both Faridpur and Rangpur have reported that a shortage of road rollers is a handicap to better progress. Sylhet and Faridpur have reported that the unseasonably heavy rains during the month had an adverse impact on construction work; the former was more adversely affected then the latter. On the other hand, Rangpur reports that the heavy widds of this time of the year are having an adverse effect on fill material placed for shoulder improvoment. The dry, uncompacted material is b2ing blown away. All three districts are upset over the reduced maintenance budgets. The RE's seem to feel that access facilities now available should be maintained in year­ round passable condition rather than merely expanding the access network with new work. The flag dates for submittal of various manuals stipulated as contractural obligations are rapidly approaching. Current status of each of these manuals follows o Specifications Manual - Final printing to be submitted by June 1985. o Road Construction Manual - Final printing by June 1985. o Soil Survey Manual - Final printing by June 1985 o Survey Manual - Final printing by June 1985. o Organization Management Manual - Final printing by July 1985 o Training Report - Final printing by June 1985. 2.0 ORGANIZATION AND MANAGEMENT Arrangements are being made in-house to review and revise the report submitted in late 1983. If comments on the draft report submitted previously can be received in the interim, then the final revised report will be ready by mid­ year. 3.0 MAINTENANCE SYSTEM AND SUPERVISION 3.1 General The reduction in maintenance funds available to each of the three districts has caused great consternation. Each district reports that maintenance funds now approved are not sufficient to meet the requirements. Sylhet has reported that the ongoing maintenance work within the district has improved significantly since the February meeting between the staffs of the XEN and the RE. Uniformity in maintenance criteria and practices is now being achieved throughout the district. Faridpur has reported that, due to a shortage of funds, all maintenance work stopped on 20 March. Rangour reports that the um of the cost

  • Diversity of Cropping Patterns and Land Use Practices in Faridpur Region
    Bangladesh Rice J. 21 (2) : 157-172, 2017 Diversity of Cropping Patterns and Land Use Practices in Faridpur Region A B M Mostafizur1*, M A U Zaman1, S M Shahidullah1 and M Nasim1 ABSTRACT The development of agriculture sector largely depends on the reliable and comprehensive statistics of the existing cropping patterns, cropping intensity and crop diversity of a particular area, which will provide guideline to policy makers, researchers, extensionists and development workers. The study was conducted over all 29 upazilas of Faridpur region during 2015-16 using pre-tested semi-structured questionnaire with a view to document the existing cropping patterns, cropping intensity and crop diversity of this area. From the present study it was observed that about 43.23% net cropped area (NCA) was covered by only jute based cropping patterns on the other hand deep water ecosystem occupied about 36.72% of the regional NCA. The most dominant cropping pattern Boro−Fallow− Fallow occupied about 24.40% of NCA with its distribution over 28 out of 29. The second largest area, 6.94% of NCA, was covered by Boro-B. Aman cropping pattern, which was spread out over 23 upazilas. In total 141 cropping patterns were identified under this investigation. The highest number of cropping patterns was identified 44 in Faridpur sadar and the lowest was 12 in Kashiani of Gopalganj and Pangsa of Rajbari. The lowest crop diversity index (CDI) was reported 0.448 in Kotalipara followed by 0.606 in Tungipara of Gopalganj. The highest value of CDI was observed 0.981 in Faridpur sadar followed by 0.977 in Madhukhali of Faridpur.

  • An Exploratory Study on Farmer's Vernacular Knowledge About The
    International Journal of Environmental & Agriculture Research (IJOEAR) ISSN:[2454-1850] [Vol-6, Issue-1, January- 2020] An exploratory study on farmer’s vernacular knowledge about the land characteristics, soil quality and crop suitability in Lower Ganga Flood Plain: Bangladesh Perspective Samsunnahar popy Dept. of ESD, Banga bandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Science & Technology University, Gopalganj, Bangladesh Abstract— Local people and small scale farmer had a broad understanding of their land characteristics and soil quality to choose crop. Though Maximum farmers in our country are illiterate and little educated; they have no enough scientific knowledge about land type, soil quality and crop suitability. But they possess vast indigenous knowledge by living in a same environment for a long period of time. They have developed some strategies that helped them to attain a higher degree of satisfaction in farming. So therefore it is very important to explore the farmer’s vernacular knowledge about the land type, soil quality and crop suitability. To address this indigenous knowledge this study investigates the farmer’s vernacular knowledge about the land type, soil quality and crop suitability in Lower Ganga Flood Plain in Bangladesh. The information was collected from one Mouza in Nagarkanda upazila, Faridpur district Lower Ganga Flood Plain in Bangladesh. Qualitative and quantitative both data were used in this study. The data were collected from primary sources (such as questionnaire survey, FGD) and secondary data sources (such as books, journals, and published and unpublished research reports). Data were analyzed by exploratory statistics. Graphs and graph tables were created by MS excel. By analyzing the Field data it was investigated that farmers of the study area recognized four elevation levels of land; i).
