  • Redesigning Economics to Redesign the W Rld
    6th SOCIAL BUSINESS DAY 2015 DHAKA, BANGLADESH REDESIGNING ECONOMICS TO REDESIGN THE W RLD NOBEL LAUREATE PROFESSOR MUHAMMAD YUNUS Will the present economic system be able to establish appropriate level of moral social, and material balance in the world? I DON'T THINK IT CAN. The present system is like an impersonal sucking machine which thrives on continuously sucking juice from the bottom to the top. The higher you are in the system, the more juice you are able to suck. It is not because bad people are running the machine; just that the machine is built that way. The system was not designed to have any moral responsibility. At least that is not in practice. Discussion on moral responsibilities is an after-thought. This machine turns people into money-centric robots. The stock market which is the ultimate judge of business success, does not grade businesses on the basis of its moral commitment. Moral issues were never included in their reporting template. 02 I SOCIAL BUSINESS DAY 2015 SOCIAL BUSINESS I have been proposing and practising a new kind of business which is based on selflessness, replacing selfishness, of human beings. This type of business runs parallel to the selfishness-driven business that rules the world. Conventional business is personal- profit seeking business. The new business, which I am adding, is personal profit-forsaking business. It is a for-profit business, but personal-profit forsaking business. I call it social business -- a non-dividend company to solve human problems. The owner can take back his investment money, but nothing beyond that.

  • Banker to the Poor Muhammad Yunus & A
    BANKER TO THE POOR MUHAMMAD YUNUS & A. Jolis WINNER OF THE 2006 NOBEL PEACE PRIZE ‘It’s not people who aren’t credit-worthy. It’s banks that aren’t people-worthy’ Muhammad Yunus ‘The story of an extraordinary achievement’ Doris Lessing Muhammad Yunus set up the Grameen Bank in Bangladesh to lend tiny sums to the poorest of the poor, who were shunned by ordinary banks. The money would enable them to set up the smallest village enterprises and pull themselves out of poverty. Today, Yunus’s system of ‘micro-credit’ is practised in some sixty countries, and his Grameen Bank is a billion-pound business acknowledged by world leaders and the World Bank as a fundamental weapon in the fight against poverty. Banker to the Poor is Yunus’s own enthralling story: of how Bangladesh’s terrible 1974 famine underlined the need to enable its victims to grow more food; of overcoming scepticism in many governments and in traditional economic thinking; and of how micro- credit was extended into credit unions in the West. ‘An amazing account of the way in which one man with a vision and the right values can turn the established order on its ear’ John Elkington, Guardian AUTHOR’S PREFACE My experience working in the Grameen Bank has given me faith; an unshakeable faith in the creativity of human beings. It leads me to believe that humans are not born to suffer the misery of hunger and poverty. They suffer now as they did in the past because we turn our heads away from this issue.

  • State of the Handloom Industry of Bangladesh
    STATE OF THE HANDLOOM INDUSTRY OF BANGLADESH Chapter 1: Introduction The objective of the present study has been to look into the existing status of the handloom industry of Bangladesh in reference to the past and formulate a hypothesis on the future standing. In order to understand the industry, such aspects as the trends in size of the industry, technology of handloom weaving, and organizational structure have been examined. The study has been based on secondary materials drawn from desk review of available published and unpublished documents, and primary information gathered from field visits in the important handloom concentration areas, and also some selective areas producing artistically designed dedicate fabrics. During the field work we visited many handloom units and observed their looms and accessories, and weaving and pre-weaving processes. We had focus group discussions with such stakeholders as weavers, traders and local elites to make out their perception and reality of the past, present and the future prospects of the handloom industry. Chapter 2: Trends in Size of the Handloom Industry The trends in size of the handloom industry are looked at by number of looms, number of employment, and volume of cloth output. Where such data are not available are looked at by number of establishments. The available statistics on looms show a consistent growth of the industry during 1946–1990, and a decline after that. The number of looms increased from 134 thousand in 1946 to 437 thousand in 1990, and then declined to 362 thousand in 2003. The employment also demonstrates a similar trend. It increased from 407 thousand in 1951 to 947 thousand in 1990, and fell to 798 thousand in 2003.

Website: www.birdlucknow.in Disclaimer This document has been prepared by Bankers Institute of Rural Development, Lucknow (BIRD) based on the field study by a team comprising of Dr. Sudhanshu K K Mishra, S/Shri Rakesh Kumar Srivastava, and K I Shariff, Faculty Members. The study report has been prepared based on the field study and also the feedback received from various stake holders in the handloom sector. While BIRD has undertaken all efforts to ensure the accuracy of information, errors and omissions cannot be ruled out. The views expressed in the report are that of the study team. It does not necessarily represent/reflect the policy/view of BIRD or National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD). Foreword The handloom sector is special as it nurtures and preserves ancient weaving skills which are unique to each state and region and also provides employment to large number of rural households. It is also true that handloom weaving as an activity is in deep crisis with low productivity, low wages, low literacy levels, firmly entrenched middlemen and very little formal bank finance flowing to the sector.
