INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background The Southwest Area Integrated Water Resources Planning and Management Project (SAIWRPMP) aims at the improvement of the performance of existing flood control and drainage/ irrigation (FCD/I) systems and to enhance the livelihoods of the affected rural people through (i) preparing participatory integrated water management plans (IWMPs) for the selected systems; (ii) delivering improved water management infrastructure and support services for agriculture, fishery development and gender & livelihood enhancement support activities; and (iii) strengthening institutions for sustainable O&M. The overall objective is to achieve sustainable O&M of the FCD/I schemes by sharing the management of the water control infrastructure with the stakeholders for better management and improved economic growth and reduced poverty in the area. The South-West Project-AF(Phase-2) contains total eleven(11) Sub-Projects among them nine(9) Sub-Projects for rehabilitation namely,i) Beel Sukunia, ii &iii) Daduria – Kandor Beel, iv) Alfadanga-Boalmar,i v) Chatler-Fakurhat, vi) Kalidaskhali-Arpara, vii) Horai-River, viii) Bamankhali-Barnali and ix) Purulia-Charbhatpara alongwith after care activities (WMO organizational support) for two(2) Sub-Projects completed under South-West Project-Phase-1. An Integrated Water Management Plan (IWMP) for Arol Beel Sub-Project under Jashore District will also be prepared under this project. The project aims at developing Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) systems based on the strategy adopted for the additional sub-region in the Southwest areas of Bangladesh that covers 18 Upazilas in six districts, namely, Faridpur, Rajbari, Magura, Jashore, Narail and Gopalganj with a total envisaged coverage of 108,636 ha of cultivable land (gross area) (to be changed to 82,274 ha for replacing Sonamukhi-Banmandar sub-project). 1.2 Subproject areas The project entails implementation of seven IWRM plans outlined in Feasibility Studies that have been prepared in 2013. The total gross area of seven subprojects is 63,058 ha (net 49,425 ha). These seven FCD/I schemes are: i. Beel Sukunia Subproject is located in Faridpur Sadar and Nagarkanda Upazila under Faridpur District; ii. Daduria Beel Subproject is located in Boalmari Upazila under Faridpur District; iii. Kandor Beel Subproject is located in Boalmari Upazila under Faridpur District; iv. Alfadanga-Boalmari Subproject is located in Alfadanga Upazila under Faridpur District; v. Chatler-Fakurhat Sub-project is located in Sadarpur and Bhanga Upazila under Faridpur District; vi. Kalidaskhali-Arpara Sub-project is located in Shalikha Upazila under Magura District; vii. Horai River Subproject is located in Rajbari Sadar, Baliakandi and Kalukhali Upazila under Rajbari District; In addition to the above seven subprojects, IWM studies are foreseen in four subproject areas covering a gross area of 45,578 ha (Net 32,849 ha cultivable area), [which will be changed] that will involve simple interventions like repair work of some structures and re-excavation of khals. These four subprojects are: SEMI-ANNUAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING REPORT, JANUARY- JUNE 2020 4 BWDB: Southwest Area Integrated Water Resources Planning and Management Project - Additional Financing i. Purulia-Charbhatpara Subproject, located in Kashiani Upazila under Gopalganj District; ii. Bamankhali-Barnali Subproject , located in Narail Sadar Upazila under Narail District, and Shalikha and Magura Sadar Upazila under Magura District; iii. Arol Beel Subproject, located in Chougacha, Jessore Sadar and Jhikorgacha Upazila under Jessore District; iv. Sunamukhi-Banmander sub-project, located in Sarsha and Jhikorgachha Upazila under Jashore District (which will be replaced due to its large area 48,000 ha against the selection criteria of Maximum 14,000 ha net, deviating from selection criteria). The IWM plans of only two of these sub-project areas will be implemented under Southwest-AF. Those are Purulia-Charbhatpara and Bamankhali-Barnali. The other two (Arol Beel and Sunamukhi-Banmander) will not be implemented under the ongoing project but may be implemented when funds are available (possibly under other project). The sub-projects of SAIWRPMP-AF may have some small and localized adverse environmental impact during construction period which can be mitigated by appropriate mitigation measures, to be proposed in the environmental management plan (EMP). The construction of new embankment and repair/renovation of existing embankments, as well as construction of new structures/regulators and repair/renovation of existing structures/regulators, have its associated environmental impacts that require due considerations during project design and implementation. Furthermore, the project will formulate

  • Annual Report Annual Report 2017- 2018
    ANNUAL REPORT ANNUAL REPORT 2017- 2018 SOIL RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT INSTITUTE MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE Executive Summary During 2017-18 fiscal year “Upazila Nirdeshika Updating Survey” was carried out at 50 Upazilas where remarkable changes in land use were observed in each Upazila (sub-district). Changes in land types were also foundin some cases. It is observed that vegetable cultivation is gaining popularity among the farmers. In this year 30 Upazila Nirdeshika and 90 Union Sahayika (guides) were published. In addition, Technology Transfer activities like fertilizer recommendation cards (FRC) distribution, establishment of demonstration plots through collaboration of static laboratories, mobile soil testing laboratories (MSTL) and district offices resulted substantial yield increase in comparison to unattended farmers plots. In 2017-18, soil analytical service through MSTL was provided to 112 Upazila of the country and provided 5,600 farmers with FRC. MSTL activities needs to be extended to Union level to provide services at grass root level. Changes in soil fertility due to land use and management practices were observed in monitoring sites. In general, soils are deficient in organic matter and nitrogen. Changes in Phosphorus, Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium, Manganese, Sulfur and Boron were erratic. There is also, evidence of lower pH value in many Upazilas. In Khulna region, soil salinity in shrimp cultivation area gradually increased from 1990. This salinization may be due to the effect of saline water flooding for long period, slow permeability, presence of highly saline ground water at shallower depth (<1.0m) almost throughout the year and lack of flashing facility after shrimp harvest etc. Water salinity of western side river is more than that of the eastern side.

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.

A number of the media reports on workplaces have also been subject to on-site investigations as part of our work on assisting families obtains compensation. This publication also includes the text of National Child Labour Elimination Policy, 2010 which we hope will be useful for those working for ensuring workers’ rights in Bangladesh. We realize that many workers die from other means - on the way to seeking work, in political protests or in house fires etc – but these are not related to their work and so are not included in this report. This report also does not include Bangladesh workers who die outside the country.
