THE RURAL DEVELOPMENT IN BANGLADESH .

Bangladesh is our motherland. It is a very small country. Bangladesh has sixty-eight thousand villages where eighty percent of our people live. So it is clear that welfare of the country depends upon the welfare of these villages.

There was a time when the villagers were happy and self­ supporting. Lands supplied them with paddy and vegetables; ponds with fish and cows with milk. Wants were unknown at that time. The villagers were simple, healthy, peace-loving, religious, hospitable and generous. With the beginning of the British rule,

the villages saw the downfall. A few cities sprang up after the western fashion. Then the educated and well-to-do people left the villages to enjoy modern facilities in those cities.

After the achievement of independence, it was naturally hoped that villages would see happy days again. But good roads, decent houses and good tanks are yet to be constructed. They are deprived of adequate facilities of hospitals, doctors, medicine, schools and colleges.

Nowadays the villages face various problems whereas all the facilities of towns should be made available there. Metalled roads should be constructed. Schools and colleges should be established. Jungles should be destroyed and marshes filled up. Charitable dispensaries and hospitals should be set up to give medical aid to the sick people. Arrangements should be made for the supply of pure drinking water.

It is really heartening to note that our present government are adopting schemes to reconstruct and develop the village under the supervision of upazilla.
