People today have access to more information than any generation in history, yet many lack the knowledge and critical-thinking skills needed to navigate our challenging information ecosystem. The potential for misinformation has never been greater, and the concept of news literacy has not been widely taught in Bangladesh. Against this background, at the age of information superabundance, citizens should learn to judge the reliability of news reports and other sources of information that is passed along their communication network and news media outlets. The concept of news literacy has emerged from this realization. However, as an academic terminology, the concept of news literacy is rather new in Bangladesh.

SHIFT MDDRM is facilitating 6 pilot innovation models utilizing micro-merchants networks reaching rural low income consumers through retail level value chains. The retail value chains will leverage the creative ideas and commercial instincts of FMCG and DFS providers by stimulating them to test innovative cross-sector business model and end-customer requisition strategies. Merchants’ Development Driving Rural Markets (MDDRM) aims to stimulate the expansion of digital technologies for Micro-merchant segments by encouraging innovation and linkages between retail and nancial services industries.

  • Socio-Geographic Distribution O Phic Distribution of Livestock and Poultry
    Socio-geographic distribution of livestock and poultry in Bangladesh- A review Huque KS* and MYA Khan Animal Production Research Division, Bangladesh Livestock Research Institute, Savar, Dhaka 1341, Bangladesh Abstract Bangladesh, a country of 147,570 Km2, had a total human population of 144.0 million in 2011 which is estimated as 160 million in 2015. Livestock that includes cattle, buffalo, goat and sheep and poultry such as, chicken, ducks and pigeons are important to her food and agriculture. Their total population according to Agricultural Census (2008) is 25.67, 0.54, 16.3, 1.29, 97.8, 39.43 and 7.48 million, respectively. The objective of the study was to analyse the concentration of livestock and poultry and their proportional availability to humans of different regions and their distribution to different farm categories. The average distribution range of the above animals and poultry was 19.7 to 361.7, 0.39 to 15.4, 12.4 to 359, 0.3 to 43.0, 105 to 1212, 6 to 746 and 1.5 to 190 per square kilometre, respectively; and that of human population was 86.7 to 8229/Km2. Their distribution, comparing with that of human population, that excludes the use of non-habitable land for them, shows that the average range of each farm animal and poultry available in the country was 21 to 464, 0.28 to 32.3, 8.9 to 412, 1.4 to 46.6, 72.8 to 1875, 24 to 829, and 8.9 to 198 per 1000 people, respectively. The production areas of cattle were classified into four zones (Zone A, Zone B, Zone C and Zone D), and that of each of others into three zones (Zone A, Zone B, and Zone C).

  • Site Suitability Analysis for Dissemination of Salt-Tolerant Rice Varieties in Southern Bangladesh
    The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, Volume XL-8, 2014 ISPRS Technical Commission VIII Symposium, 09 – 12 December 2014, Hyderabad, India SITE SUITABILITY ANALYSIS FOR DISSEMINATION OF SALT-TOLERANT RICE VARIETIES IN SOUTHERN BANGLADESH D. D. Sinha*, A. N. Singh and U. S. Singh International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) - India Office NASC Complex, Pusa, New Delhi-110 012 *Corresponding author: [email protected] KEY WORDS: IRRI, Salt-tolerant rice varieties, Rice suitability map, Remote Sensing & GIS ABSTRACT: Bangladesh is a country of 14.4 million ha geographical area and has a population density of more than 1100 persons per sq. km. Rice is the staple food crop, growing on about 72% of the total cultivated land and continues to be the most important crop for food security of the country. A project “Sustainable Rice Seed Production and Delivery Systems for Southern Bangladesh” has been executed by the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) in twenty southern districts of Bangladesh. These districts grow rice in about 2.9 million ha out of the country’s total rice area of 11.3 million ha. The project aims at contributing to the Government of Bangladesh’s efforts in improving national and household food security through enhanced and sustained productivity by using salinity-, submergence- and drought- tolerant and high yielding rice varieties. Out of the 20 project districts, 12 coastal districts are affected by the problem of soil salinity. The salt-affected area in Bangladesh has increased from about 0.83 million ha in 1973 to 1.02 million ha in 2000, and 1.05 million ha in 2009 due to the influence of cyclonic storms like ‘Sidr’, ‘Laila’ and others, leading to salt water intrusion in croplands.
