Globalisation
The term 'globalisation' has been subjected to a variety of interpretations. Though it may simply
mean global interconnectedness, it includes a number of interlinked and complex economic,
technological, cultural, environmental and political processes.
The concept of globalisation is closely connected to recent changes in the world economy. The entire
industrialised world was hit by an economic crisis in the 19!s. "rofits fell sharply and capitalist
companies were forced to expand the international nature of their production and trade.
#n the 19$!s and 199!s capitalist corporations of rich countries have sought to increase their share of
the world market by moving capital from country to country. %ultinational &ompanies '%(&s),
controlled the world market from developed countries but doing business throughout the world and,
are the dominant actors in the world economy.
These %(&s are so rich that in terms of resources they rival the state * rules of international trade as
well as domestic economic policies of countries throughout the world have been dramatically
changed to meet the needs of free flow of capital, technology and profit across national boundaries.
The international economy has been substantially restructured to remove restrictions on such free
flow. #nternational economic and trade organisations like the +orld ,ank, the #nternational
%onetary -und and the +orld Trade .rganisation are advocating and controlling this process of
restructuring am the politics of the states are modified to meet the re/uirements of these
organisations. The thinking, in these institutions is greatly influenced be 'neoliberal' ideas.
0uch ideas had gained popularity in countries like 1.2. and 1.0.3. in the 19$!s and came to replace
the ideas of welfare stats (eoliberalism can be interpreted as a new version of individualism. 4uring
the process of globalisation neoliberal policies are being implemented in the underdeveloped
countries.
RURAL DEVELOPMENT
5ural development means development of village. ,angladesh is a land of villages. %ore than$! percent
of her people live in villages. 0o the importance of villages in our country is very high . The development
of the entire country depends on the welfare of these villages.
#n our country rural development has various aspects. The most important of them are agriculture,
education, communication, sanitary and health, cottage industries, fishery, co6operative society7s
community life etc.
3 good communication is essential for the development of the villages, with this end in view our
government has taken some practical measures. %any news roads have been constructed and many old
roads and culverts have been repaired. %eans of communication should be development more.
8ducation is the backbone of a nation. +ithout education a nation cannot prosper. #t is education which
illumines the soul, broadens the outlook on life and dispels the darkness of ignorance. ,angladesh is a
poor country. 3bout $9: percent of her population lives in village. They do not know how to read and
write. +e cannot reach the peak of prosperity and progress until and unless we can remove the curse of
illiteracy from the lot of our people.
,angladesh is an agricultural country. 3griculture is the life blood of her economy. 3gain about eighty
percent of our people are engaged in agriculture who live in village. 8ven in this modern scientific age our
agriculture is very backward. ,ut at present it is a very happy news that our government has taken active
steps and necessary measures for the progress of agriculture.
;<ealth is wealth= goes the proverb. 0o a nation blessed with a good health is the greatest blessing on
earth. ,ut we are far from this blessing. 3s most of the villagers are illiterate, they don7t know knowledge
of health and sanitation. %ost of the villagers suffer from various diseases. %any hospitals, health centers,
clinics and charitable dispensaries have been set up in rural areas to ensure health facilities to the poor
rural people.
"ure drinking water was very scarce in the past. "eople used to drink water from ponds. 3s a result they
suffered from many water born diseases. (ow a day7s every village has 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.
,y raising more poultry and cultivating fish more, we can develop our villages. .ur government has paid
much attention to these things. The poor villagers are given loan on easy terms. %any 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. >et us
all come forward and work with concerted efforts to develop our villages.
