BACKGROUND Eco-Social Development Organization (ESDO) has started its journey in 1988 with a noble vision to stand in solidarity with the poor and marginalized people. Being a peoples' centered organization, we envisioned for a society which will be free from inequality and injustice, a society where no child will cry from hunger and no life will be ruined by poverty. Over the last thirty years of relentless efforts to make this happen, we have embraced new grounds and opened up new horizons to facilitate the disadvantaged and vulnerable people to bring meaningful and lasting changes in their lives. During this long span, we have adapted with the changing situation and provided the most time-bound effective services especially to the poor and disadvantaged people. Taking into account the government development policies, we are currently implementing a considerable number of projects and programs including micro-finance program through a community focused and people centered approach to accomplish government’s development agenda and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the UN as a whole.

  • A Baseline Survey on the Availability of Black Bengal Breeding Bucks in Different Districts of Bangladesh
    J. Bangladesh Agril. Univ. 9(1): 91–96, 2011 ISSN 1810-3030 A baseline survey on the availability of Black Bengal breeding bucks in different districts of Bangladesh M. A. M. Y. Khandoker, A. S. Apu, S. S. Husain and D. R. Notter1 Department of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh-2202, Bangladesh 1Department of Animal and Poultry Sciences, Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University, USA Email: [email protected] Abstract The present study was conducted to assess the availability of Black Bengal breeding bucks in five districts from the Northern part (Lalmonirhat and Rangpur), Central part (Tangail and Mymensingh) and Southern part (Khulna) of Bangladesh and also to explore the relationship between distance of does from these breeding bucks and type of scarcity. The data were collected using a pre-tested questionnaire from 100 goat rearers of 100 villages in five districts. In this study, the selected characteristics of the respondents and other factors on the availability of Black Bengal breeding bucks were considered as independent variable whereas type of scarcity was considered as dependent variable. The buck and doe ratios were 1:164, 1:138, 1:114, 1:127 and 1:96 in Lalmonirhat, Rangpur, Tangail, Khulna and Mymensingh district, respectively. The pooled buck and doe ratio was 1:128. More than 70% farmers faced severe shortage of breeding bucks for serving their does in the above districts which ultimately represent the overall situation of the country. Almost all farmers (100%) had to depend on natural mating to serve their does except the farmers of Mymensingh where 12% farmers depended on artificial insemination in goat.

    THE NATURE AND EXTENT OF HOMICIDE IN BANGLADESH: A CONTENT ANALYSIS ON REPORTS OF MURDER IN DAILY NEWSPAPERS T. M. Abdullah-Al-Fuad June 2016 Department of Sociology University of Dhaka Dhaka University Institutional Repository THE NATURE AND EXTENT OF HOMICIDE IN BANGLADESH: A CONTENT ANALYSIS ON REPORTS OF MURDER IN DAILY NEWSPAPERS T. M. Abdullah-Al-Fuad Reg no. 111 Session: 2011-2012 Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Philosophy June 2016 Department of Sociology University of Dhaka Dhaka University Institutional Repository DEDICATION To my parents and sister Dhaka University Institutional Repository Abstract As homicide is one of the most comparable and accurate indicators for measuring violence, the aim of this study is to improve understanding of criminal violence by providing a wealth of information about where homicide occurs and what is the current nature and trend, what are the socio-demographic characteristics of homicide offender and its victim, about who is most at risk, why they are at risk, what are the relationship between victim and offender and exactly how their lives are taken from them. Additionally, homicide patterns over time shed light on regional differences, especially when looking at long-term trends. The connection between violence, security and development, within the broader context of the rule of law, is an important factor to be considered. Since its impact goes beyond the loss of human life and can create a climate of fear and uncertainty, intentional homicide (and violent crime) is a threat to the population. Homicide data can therefore play an important role in monitoring security and justice.

  • Ethics and Economics of Tobacco Farming: a Case Study of Rural Bangladesh
    Ethics and Economics of Tobacco Farming: A Case Study of Rural Bangladesh Habibur Rahman1 Jani Parvin2 Abstract Tobacco is being dealt as one of the major cash crops which are largely grown in Kushtia, Chittagong Hill, and northern regions of Bangladesh.Actually it is a non‐food plant used as a basic raw material for products that is proved to be harmful for health, environment and society.Tobacco is both dangerous and addictive. Its production thus raises ethical questions. The study is aimed to estimate the factors affecting tobacco yield and investigate whether any ethical issues influence the production behavior of tobacco farmerin Lalmonirhat district. Both primary and secondary data are used in this paper. Primary data is collected from 100 farmers using simple random sampling method from Aditmariupazila of Lalmonirhat district. are used .To estimate the influencing factors including ethics on the tobacco yield, both multiple linear and double log regression model are used. Tabular method is followedto describe the socio-economic profile and explore ethical consideration of tobacco farmers regarding its cultivation. The result shows that actually major farmers have no ethical concerns about tobacco farming. It also reveals that the majorities of tobacco farmers are reluctant to leave its production though they claim that tobacco production is unethical. The linear regression result of tobacco yield shows that the variables fertilizer, pesticides, seed,labors,support from the company, and land quality are positively significant to affect the tobacco yield. From the normative point of view, ethical concern of the farmers would be negatively related with their tobacco yield.

    REFEREED ARTICLE DOI: 10.5836/ijam/2014-02-05 Exploring the potential and performance of maize production in Bangladesh SANZIDUR RAHMAN1 and MD. SAYEDUR RAHMAN2 ABSTRACT Maize is gaining importance in recent years as a promising crop aimed at boosting agricultural growth in Bangladesh. The present study explores the potential of maize expansion by examining its profitability and economic efficiency using a survey data of 300 farmers from three regions. Maize ranks first in terms of yield (7.98 t/ha) and return (BCR=1.63) as compared with rice and wheat. The economic efficiency of maize production is also estimated at a high 87%, although a substantial 15% [(100-87)/87)] cost reduction is still possible while maintaining current output level by eliminating technical and allocative inefficiency. Education positively contributes towards increasing efficiency while large farmers are relatively inefficient. Geography does matter. Efficiency is lower in Bogra region as compared with Dinajpur and Kushtia. Policy implications include investment in education, setting up appropriate price policies to stabilise prices and facilitation of the input markets for timely delivery of required inputs. KEYWORDS: Economic efficiency; profitability; stochastic cost frontier; maize; Bangladesh 1. Introduction During 1962, the then governor of the erstwhile East Pakistan tried to re-introduce maize in those areas but The Bangladesh economy is dominated by agriculture did not succeed. However, the Bangladesh Agricultural contributing 14.2% to the Gross Domestic Product Research Institute (BARI) has been conducting research (GDP). Of this, the crop sub-sector alone contributes on the varietal development of maize since 1960 with a 10.1% to the GDP (BBS, 2011a).
