In agricultural production, contract farming is a widely recognized strategy all over the world where similar type of farmers from different corners of a country are engaging under a single industry. In poultry industry of Bangladesh, Contract Farming (CF) is quite popular. Since inception in 1994, contract farming in poultry industry is quite common and major industrial players of Bangladesh deploy this strategy for gaining competitive advantage. In the CF model, the contribution of an individual farmer to the gigantic production volume of a large poultry farm can’t be denied and, in this way,CF can play a vital role in the sustainable community economic development. The objective of the study is to assess how Contract Farming can contribute in the sustainable community economic development of Bangladesh in the light ofSustainable Development Goals. The study is literature review in nature and secondary sources of information has been consulted. The study concluded that, contract farming is crucial in poultry industry and its contribution in assuring sustainable community economic development is significant.
Community Economic Development (CED) practice in Bangladesh is vital in ensuring the sustainability of the community and economy of Bangladesh and it contributes to the creation and maintenance of economic, social, ecological, human, political, and cultural capitals of communities in a sustainable and progressive manner. Existing literature in Bangladesh perspective mostly focuses on NGO contributions. However, local large conglomerates have contributions in this aspect and the study would like to tap on the research gap by conducting an intensive case study on PRAN-RFL Group (PRG), one of the largest conglomerates in Bangladesh and South East Asia. The case study provided a theoretical background of the business profile of the PRG. Researchers collected data from the organizations about their CED contributions to different areas ofBangladesh even in the ongoing COVID19 time. PRG's contributions to those remote areas were found significant and valuable to make the society sustainable and resilient. For this reason, the partnership between the PRG and the community (individual entrepreneur) was remarkable. The study concluded that PRG's contribution to the CED practices set examples of their competitors of Bangladesh in various CED practices. The study recommended further quantitative analysis in assessing community farmers and reverse migration in this aspect.
Community Economic Development (CED) is a popular field of study in the top North American universities. But, this field of study is completely absent in Bangladesh, even not a single course has been found in their course curricula based on their websites. Some courses are under development studies but those are insufficient compared to the required courses offered in foreign universities. Interestingly, CED approach is a countrywide approach practiced by NGOs, specialized bank and corporate houses of Bangladesh. CED approach is highly associated with sustainable development by fulfilling numerous goals successfully. The study aims at to develop urgency of the concerned stakeholders of the higher educational institutions of Bangladesh to design, implement and execute program and courses on CED in order to make the country sustainable and in doing so the paper showed CED professions in Bangladesh and in the world, which considered pragmatic in CED course at the university level. The study considered different CED study programs and courses offered by reputed universities of the world including reasons behind introducing the program in their course curriculum and expected benefits derived from the courses. The paper finally suggests ways of implementing it at the university level of Bangladesh. The study makes the concerned stakeholders aware about CED programs and courses for successful development, implementation and execution.
Counterfeit medicine is a dangerous problem in Bangladesh which make the country's healthcare system in more challenging. For a developing nation like Bangladesh, it is hard to find a perfect solution to curb this problem. According to the World Health Organization (2021), awareness is the key to prevent innocent patient from taking counterfeit medicine. Due to knowledge gap, it's hard for patients to detect the authenticity of medicine because it requires knowledge of medicinal formulation. Physicians of Bangladesh could play a vital role in preventing this counterfeit medicine problem by establishing guidance co-operation relationship with the patients. The study made a literature review of the concept of counterfeit medicine, conducted a bibliometric analysis of counterfeit medicine on Scopus database and provided a relationship flow diagram of prospective guidance relationship between physicians and patients. The study concluded that, this consultation service should be offered by the physicians to the patients and the study expected that, the patient willingly accepts it for getting the safeguard against counterfeit medicine.
