My Visit to Sylhet

 Sylhet is one of the most beautiful places in Bangladesh. It's a place of natural beauty. Sylhet is widely known for having tea gardens and hills. It is also a holy place as it is known as the place of 360 awlias(saints). Last year I got the opportunity to go to Sylhet. I visited Sylhet with my family. We went there by train. I sat beside the window and enjoy the scenes through the window. I was overwhelmed by the natural scenes. After seven hours long journey, we reached Sylhet. We visited all the places of tourist attractions like- Jaflong which is near the Indian border, Ratargul swamp forest, Lauachara forest, and Tangua Haor. We spent five days in Sylhet. I enjoyed each and every moments of my Sylhet tour.

My Visit to Cox'sBazar

 Cox'sBbazar has the longest uninterrupted sea beach in the world. It is one of the most beautiful places in our country. Lots of tourists visit Cox's Bazar every year. So no need to say, like others I also had a dream to visit this place. Finally, my dream came true last year. I got the opportunity to visit Cox's Bazar along with my family and a few relatives. I went to Cox's Bazar from Dhaka on Bangladesh Biman. It was my first airplane journey so I was much excited. The view of the Bay of Bengal from the plane window was mesmerizing. We landed at Cox's Bazar in the early morning. We booked a hotel near the sea beach. After taking our breakfast, we went to the sea beach. I was amazed by the view of the sea. Many people were taking baths. At first, I got afraid as I don't know how to swim but later with my parents I also took bath in the sea. The big waves were splashing down on the shore. Red crabs were walking on the sand in a line. Words can't express ho...

A Fruit- Mango

 Mango is the most popular fruit of our country. Everyone loves to eat mango. Mangoes are usually grown in the northern and western parts of the country. The Chapai Nawabganj is known as the heaven of mango. Mangoes are usually grown in the summer. The peak harvest season of mangoes is between May to August. We can eat both the green and ripe mangoes. Ripe mangoes are red or yellow in color. Their pulp is juicy and soft. Some popular kinds of mangoes are- Himsagar, Fazlee, Langra, Gopalbhogh, etc. Different unique flavors, nice aromas,eye-catchy texture, and delicious taste have made mangoes the king of all fruits. Different artificial foods like-jams and pickles are made using the pulp and juices of mangoes. Mangoes are also used to make different varieties of desserts. Many people earn their living hood by growing mangoes. For years it has been a profitable occupations for many but due to lack of supervision, for the past couple of years they are facing financial loss. Moreover, ...

Higher Education in Bangladesh

 Higher education is necessary for the development of an individual. Usually, the education which is offered after higher secondary is known as higher education. In our country, higher education is provided by public and private universities and colleges that are affiliated with National University. The aim of higher education is to gather knowledge, conduct research, and development activities, learn new skills, and work for the development of society and country. For achieving a white-collar job and a better future, higher education is necessary. But earning money is not the sole purpose of achieving higher education. Higher education broadens up one's mind and makes him aware and conscious. A higher educated person can differentiate between good and bad and black and white. He can take better decisions for himself and society. The prosperity of a country depends on the number and quality of higher education. A higher educated person is far-sighted and in terms of needs, he can s...

Importance of Female Education

 According to Napoleon, "Give me an educated mother, I shall promise you the birth of a civilized, educated nation." So no need to say that the development of a nation is possible only if the females, who are half of the population are educated. In our society female education is still taboo. Many people think that educating females is totally unnecessary. They believe that women are born to perform traditional roles like the role of mother, wife, and homemaker. Even some parents also do not want to educate their female child. They prefer to marry them off at a very early age. Child marriage, dowry custom, domestic violence, all these problems have a common root and that is the lack of female education. If we look around, we can see that women can perform any job as well as done by a man or she can even perform better than a man. There is not a single sector where women haven't proved themselves yet. They can also perform challenging tasks. Our country is running successf...

 Fidel Castro stated "I haven't seen the Himalayas, but I have seen Sheikh Mujib. In personality and in courage, the man is the Himalayas."Bangabandhu, the father of our nation is the greatest Bengali of all time. Mujib Barsha has been declared by the Bangladesh government to mark the 100th birth anniversary of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the father of our nation. The year-long celebration has started on  17th March of 2020 and will continue till 16th December 2021. Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was born in Tungipara village of Gopalganj district on 17th March 1920. The name of his parents is Sheikh Lutfur Rahman and Sayera Khatun.

Bangabandhu's fiery speech of 7th March inspired the people of our country to take part in the liberation war. The countdown of the celebration has started on 10th Ja...

Child Labour

 Engaging child laborers to work is a common scenario in developing and underdeveloped countries. In Bangladesh, child labor is very common. They are found in RMG sectors, brick kilns, industries like leather and shoes and a major portion of them also work as servants in the household and street hawkers. According to labor law 2006, the employment of children under 14 is illegal. However, still, we haven't seen the proper implementation of this law, as a large number of children are unofficially being engaged in different kinds of manual works. The main reason behind child labour is poverty and the excess number of population. Poverty and hunger are the forces that drive the parents to engage their children in the works. It deteriorates their health and overall welfare. Working children drop out from their school early as a result they do not get the education and skills that are necessary to build a prosperous future. Working for a long hour in an unsafe environment with heavy equ...

International Mother Language Day

 In 1999,UNESCO has declared 21st February as the international  mother language day. It is a red-letter day for our country. On this day of 1952,  people have sacrificed their lives for the sake of their mother language. Bangladesh is the only nation that has sacrificed their lives for their mother language. In 1952, Pakistani rulers declared that Urdu will be the solo national language of Pakistan even though Bangla was spoken by a majority of population of East Pakistan. The people of  East Pakistan couldn't agree with the declaration and protests were carried on. To demolish the protest, the government banned all kind of protest and rallies. Section -144 was declared to ban any kind of rallies and protests in Dhaka. However, students of Dhaka Medical, Dhaka University and some general people disobeyed the declaration and they carried on the protest. The police opened fire on rallies and Salam, Rafiq, Barkat, Jabbar and Shafiur were killed. Then protests and turmo...

Floods of bngladesh

 Bangladesh is a riverine country. There are about 700 rivers in our country. So, no need to say that flood is a common scenario in our country. Every or another year floods visit our country. The most devasting floods occurred in 1987, 1988, 1991,1998,2019 . Sometimes the flood lasts for several months. The main reason  of flood is excessive rain fall during monsoon. Besides, most of the country consists of huge flood plain and delta. Tropical storms also causes flood in the coastal areas. Long period of heavy rain also causes the overflow of rivers which causes flood. Some menmade reasons are also responsible for floods in our country. Excessive deforestation, unplanned urbanization, rise of sea level due to global warming, poorly designed and maintained dam and embankments also responsible for flood. The after effects of flood is devasting. The sufferings for all, specially the poor people are beyond description. Many people lost their house, shelter, crops,livestock even t...

Natural Calamities in Bangladesh

 Our beloved motherland is vulnerable to different natural calamities. People of our coastal areas are vulnerable to natural disasters. Every year, one or other natural calamities occurs in our country which makes people's life miserable. The major disasters are-flood, drought, cyclone, earthquake, landslide, erosion of river back, etc. Our geographical location has made us more vulnerable to natural disasters. During Monsoon, it rains heavily which creates floods. Flood causes the destruction of human habitats, crops, livestock, etc. People suffer from diarrhea, cholera, and other waterborne diseases. There is a huge scarcity of foods and pure drinking water. Cyclones-which usually occurs in summer also cause a lot of destruction. Trees and small huts are blown away by the stormy wind. Many people become shelterless. River back erosion also has become a common scenario during monsoon. People of coastal areas lose their everything due to river erosion. The drought that occurs in Ch...

Winter Morning

 Winter is a beautiful season. Winter is totally different than other seasons. Cold morning breeze,  a dewdrop on the top of the grass, delicious cakes, a cup of hot tea, foggy night-winter is like no other season. The most beautiful time of the winter is winter morning. Usually, winter morning is cold and misty. Due to heavy fog, everything looks hazy. People usually do not go outside as it's too cold and it looks like that a carpet of fog has covered everything. The dewdrop on leaves and grass glitters like a diamond. Elder village women make different types of pithas (cake) on the winter mornings. If you eat pitha by sitting in front of the oven in the kitchen, it will give you a heavenly taste. People usually do not get up early in the winter morning. However, as rich people can enjoy winter morning, it brings misery to the poor people. As they do not have any warm cloth or a well-built house to live in their sufferings are beyond description. They often light a fire and s...

The size of the total budget is 5,23,190 Crore Taka. The allotment for Anual Development Plan (ADP) is 2,02,721 Crore taka.

It will create a huge loss to the retired, women and many middle-class families who depend on the interest of Government Savings Certificate for their live...

Dengue Menace

Dengue fever has taken an epidemic form all over the country. Especially the capital dwellers are the worst sufferer. At present near 50000 are suffering from dengue fever. Many people have died and many more are struggling in ICU. A report shows that in every single minute 2 dengue patients are hospitalized.  Both the state-run and private hospitals and clinics are also struggling hard to accommodate such a large number of people and providing treatment to them. However, there is no vaccine for dengue fever has been invented and there is no actual treatment than consuming fluid and taking rest but proper awareness can better the situation. As we all know Aedes mosquito is responsible for dengue fever. Aedes mosquito uses clean and standing water as their breeding ground. So it's the responsibility of all to clean his/her surroundings. Some common ground for Aedes mosquito's breeding is- old tire, water bottle, plant tub, old shoes, cans, etc. So rather than throwing them awa...

Delta Plan -2100

Riverine Bangladesh is the largest Delta in the world. One-third portion area of this country is low land. Due to our geological location different calamities like- Flood, Famine, Cyclone, River erosion are our regular companions. Besides land erosion is also a common problem.  Every year due to river erosion, about 50-60 thousand people become homeless. Flood causes damage to lives and crops. Due to human destruction, the natural water cycle is getting constrained. As a result, the availability of drinking water is reducing every year. Moreover, global warming and sea-level rise have increased the risk of  Flood and Drought. So no need to say that facing the risk of climate change and preventing the effects of natural calamities has become one of the biggest challenges for the government. Delta Plan -2100 is the longest duration vision plan in the history of Bangladesh. As Bangladesh is primarily a delta, a long term plan for managing its water and resources i...
