Forhad Ahmmed, PhD1 Abstract: In most countries of the world, underground mining resources are considered as important contributors to economic development. But quite often these works cause a lot of damage to the environment and put many lives under threat. In the northern part of Bangladesh, there are huge quantities of stones stored beneath the surface in some districts. Local people collect these stone and supply them to different places for construction and development work. The researcher chose this important area of study to explore the environmental impact of underground stone collection. The study was an exploratory one based on sample survey, where the researcher tried to show the environmental impact of underground stone collection. The study conducted in the farthest district of Bangladesh- Panchagarh. The researcher collected data from four categories of respondent. A total of 317 respondents were considered as the sample of the study. It is observed from the findings of the study that though due to stone collection the socio-economic condition of the local people had developed, it has left some negative impacts on environment of the study area.

  • 1 Small Area Estimation of Poverty in Rural
    1 Bangladesh Journal of Agricultural Economics, XL 1&2 (2019): 1-16 SMALL AREA ESTIMATION OF POVERTY IN RURAL BANGLADESH Md. Farouq Imam1 Mohammad Amirul Islam1 Md. Akhtarul Alam1* Md. Jamal Hossain1 Sumonkanti Das2 ABSTRACT Poverty is a complex phenomenon and most of the developing countries are struggling to overcome the problem. Small area estimation offers help to allocate resources efficiently to address poverty at lower administrative level. This study used data from Census 2011 and Household Income and Expenditure Survey (HIES)-2010. Using ELL and M-Quantile methods, this study identified Rangpur division as the poorest one where Kurigram is the poorest district. Finally, considering both upper and lower poverty lines this study identified the poverty estimates at upazila level of Rangpur division using ELL and M-Quantile methods. The analyses found that 32% of the households were absolute poor and 19% were extremely poor in rural Bangladesh. Among the upazilas under Rangpur division Rajarhat, Ulipur, Char Rajibpur, Phulbari, Chilmari, Kurigram Sadar, Nageshwari, and Fulchhari Upazilas have been identified as the poorest upazilas. Keywords: Small area, poverty, ELL, M-Quantile methods I. INTRODUCTION Bangladesh is a developing country in the south Asia. According to the recent statistics by Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS, 2017, HIES, 2010) the per capita annual income of Bangladesh is US$1610, estimated Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is 7.28, and the percentage below the poverty line (upper) is 24.30 percent. The population is predominantly rural, with about 70 percent people living in rural areas (HIES, 2016). In Bangladesh, poverty scenario was first surveyed in 1973-1974.

  • Impacts of Northwest Fisheries Extension Project (NFEP) on Pond Fish Farming in Improving Livelihood Approach
    J. Bangladesh Agril. Univ. 8(2): 305–311, 2010 ISSN 1810-3030 Impacts of Northwest Fisheries Extension Project (NFEP) on pond fish farming in improving livelihood approach M. R. Islam1 and M. R. Haque2 1Department of Fisheries Biology and Genetics, 2Department of Fisheries Management, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh-2202, Bangladesh Abstract Investigation was carried out from June to August 2009. A total of 40 fish farmers were selected from northwest two upazila namely Debigonj (n=20) and Boda (n=20) where both men and women were targeted. Focus group discussion (FGD) and cross-check interview were conducted to get an overview on carp farming. From 1991-1995, 1996-2000 and after 2000; 17.5%, 45% and 37.5% of fish farmers started carp farming respectively. Average 77.5% of farmers acquired training from NFEP project while 10% of them from government officials. There were 55% seasonal and 45% perennial ponds with average pond size 0.09 ha. After phase out of NFEP project, 92.5% of fish farmers followed polyculture systems, while only 7.5% of them followed monoculture ones. Farmers did not use any lime, organic and inorganic fertilizers in their ponds before association with NFEP project. They used lime, cow dung, urea and T.S.P during pond preparation at the rate of 247, 2562.68, 46.36 and 27.29 kg.ha-1.y-1 respectively where stocking density at the rate of 10,775 fry.ha-1 after phase out of the project.

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.

  • Equalitea III: Sustainable Livelihoods for 1500 Smallholder Farming Households (7500 People) in the Extreme North of Bangladesh
    EqualiTEA III: Sustainable Livelihoods for 1500 Smallholder Farming Households (7500 people) in The Extreme North of Bangladesh Mid Term Review March 2017 Traidcraft Exchange Introduction Bangladesh is one of the most deprived country in the region; incidence of poverty is very high particularly in extreme north Tetulia, Panchgarh Sadar in Panchgarh district and Baliadangi in Thakurgaon district. The soil here is sandy, acidic and bears close affinity with the soil of the old Himalayan basin. The growing tea sector has ushered in a new hope for enhancing the standard of socio-economic life and women empowerment in this region. The STG (Small Tea Growers) sector is now an important sector for decreasing the gap between increasing domestic demand for tea and slow growth of production in Bangladesh. This sector has a huge potential in meeting the increasing domestic demand for tea. Therefore, the EqualiTEA project, has a vital role to play in bringing a visible change in the lives of the poor farmers. The EqualiTEA III project planned to support small and marginal farmers in Northern Bangladesh to grow tea to give farmers a diversified, sustainable source of income and reduce poverty. The project aims to build an inclusive value chain and to encourage smallholder farmers to work collectively and collaboratively. Duration 36 months (1 October 2015 to 30 September 2018) Budget £ 614,565 Partners - Traidcraft Exchange - Bikash Bangladesh Location Panchgarh District (Tetulia and Panchgarh Sadar Upazilas) and Thakurgaon District (Baliadangi Upazila) Target Beneficiaries - By the end of Year 1, 1500 Smallholder Households Tea Growers have been reached. - Farmers are organized into 60 groups (average size: 25 households) Field Staff - 6 staff: 1 Project Coordinator of EqualiTEA working with 5 Field Facilitators (FF).
