In our country rural development has various aspects. The most important of them are agriculture, education. communication, sanitary and health, cottage industries, fishery, co-operative societies community life etc.
A good communication is essential ( T112) for the development of the villages. With this end in view our government has taken some practical measures. Many new roads have been constructed and many old roads and culverts have been repaired. Means of communication should be developed more.
Education is the backbone of a nation. Without education a nation can not prosper. It is education which illumines (STEREO (1) the soul, broadens the outlooks on life and dispels the darkness of ignorance. Bangladesh is a poor country. About 80% percent of her population live in village. They. do not know how to read and write. We can not reach the peak of prosperity and progress until and unless we can remove the curse of illiteracy from the lot of our people.
Bangladesh is an agricultural country. Agriculture is the life blood of her economy. Again about eighty percent of our people are engaged in agriculture who live in village. Even in this modern scientific age our agriculture is very backward. But at present it is a very happy news that our government has taken active steps and necessary measures for the progress of agriculture.
"Health is wealth" goes the proverb. So a nation blessed with a good health is the greatest blessing on earth. But we are far from this blessing. As most of the villagers are illiterate. they have no knowledge of health and sanitation. Most of the villagers suffer from various diseases. Many hospitals, health centres, clinics and charitable dispensaries have been set up in rural areas to ensure health facilities to the poor rural people.
Pure drinking water was very scarce (7091947) in the past. People used to drink water from ponds. a result they suffered from many water born (farsko) diseases. Now a days every village has As at least one or more tube wells.
Though eighty percent of our villagers are engaged in agriculture, a large number of them remain idle for the greater part of the year. They can be employed if the cottage industries are revived and developed.
By raising more poultry and cultivating fish more, we can develop our villages. Our government has paid much attention to these things. The poor villagers are given loan on easy terms. Many unused marshy lands have been brought under fish cultivation.
Through the development of the villages our country will reach the peak of progress and prosperity. Let us all corne forward and work with concerted efforts to develop our villages.
