As per the administrative records, there were no documents available to prove that any UMC meeting held in the country and thereby it seemed to be not being functional since its establishment. Therefore, this baseline research was conducted to (a) assess the level of functionality of the UMC; (b) identify the causes; (c) find out suggestions to overcome the challenges. It was found that out of 64 upazilas, randomly selected one from each district, only 2 UMC meetings were held, and only 7 Upazila Nirbahi Officers had knowledge about the notification of the UMC. Since its establishment, the UMC of the Brahmanbaria Sadar has not been effective and functional. The reasons being (a) noncommunication of the notification with the UMC members through the formal procedure and (b) prominence of the activities related to the National Parliament Election. Therefore, the following recommendations have been made – (a) direct and formal communication of the notification of the UMC with the members especially with the chairperson and the member-secretary; (b) training and awareness building for the UMC members; (c) rigorous monitoring by the Department of Social Services and (d) District Management Committee and the Divisional Management Committee should also be made functional immediately","PeriodicalId":126699,"journal":{"name":"Bangladesh Journal of Public Administration (BJPA)","volume":"28 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133267254","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Accordingly, the government of Bangladesh has laidsignificant emphasis on science and technology education as a gateway to development with anaspiration to build a „Digital Bangladesh‟ and to attain the status of a middle-income country by2021. However, contrasting to a large number of government initiatives, a declining scenario ofenrollment in science groups at the secondary level has been reported for nearly a decade. Thissituation is likely to be worse in rural areas as it was evident from a visit to Chakaria Upazila ofCox‟s Bazar. Drawing attention to the underlying problems of science education, this study attemptsto provide an account of the present scenario of science enrollment at secondary school level in therural Bangladesh, and identifies the factors responsible for the enrollment pattern. The ten years‟trend analysis on science group enrollment provided a clear picture of declining scenario since 2010.Compared to the other two groups of Business and Humanities, preferences to be enrolled in theScience group at secondary level steadily showed a marked decrease from 2009 to 2018. Complexityand volume of the science syllabus creating “Science Fear”, weak teaching capacity, shortage ofscience and mathematics teachers, scarcity of teaching materials and paucity of laboratory equipmentwere found to be the key factors responsible for declining science enrollments in the secondary levelof rural Bangladesh.","PeriodicalId":126699,"journal":{"name":"Bangladesh Journal of Public Administration (BJPA)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130379542","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The social evil has become a barrier for women in everysphere of life. The culture of dowry can be found not only in sub-continent but also in Europe, China,The United States, and also in African countries. A Dowry means the transfer of property by the brideor her family to the groom as an arrangement of marriage. When a bride or her family pays money orany other movable or immovable property, it is called dowry, which is also known as the bride pricein the sub-continent. Though the dowry is most common in the rural area, it cannot be said that it isabsent in cities. Instead, it is used as a disguise of gifts in women's marriage where the parents of themarriageable woman are bound to give dowry as a gift to the groom. This anathematization of dowryis increasing day by day in society. Social problems like child marriage, physical and mental abuse tothe women, divorce and even killing of women are the consequences of dowry. The government ofBangladesh has taken significant steps to eradicate this practice. The punishment for dowry-relatedcrimes is severe, which has been amalgamated in the Dowry Prohibition Act, 1980. The mostimportant step is to create consciousness among people, especially in the rural areas, to stop thepractice of dowry from the society. This study will help the practice and people of the society to goforward to abate the dowry practice.","PeriodicalId":126699,"journal":{"name":"Bangladesh Journal of Public Administration (BJPA)","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122614171","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite such efforts, ERD did not get any response from relevant Ministries/Divisions toimplement the policy. The paper critically examines the causes behind the implementation failure ofthe policy. The study found that officials of the project implementing Ministries/Divisions were notwell informed about the policy in particular. Moreover, the Ministries/Divisions, which have severalinitial roles to play in order to bring implementation process on board, have hardly done anything toprove that the existing bureaucratic set up is reluctant to take proactive initiatives to implement newpolicies unless they are somehow forced by the external environment. Besides, there exists a similarkind of fund, allocated in favour of the Programming Divisions of the Ministry of Planning, whichallow the project implementing Ministries/Divisions to get financial allocation for a feasibility studyat the project preparation stage. This similar kind of fund may decrease the importance of the ERDformulated fund for project readiness. Similarly, absence of allocation in the right place is also one ofthe root causes for implementation failure. Considering the findings, among others, recommendationsinclude holding of workshops for further dissemination of the policy documents and the scope andresponsibilities of each Ministry/Division.","PeriodicalId":126699,"journal":{"name":"Bangladesh Journal of Public Administration (BJPA)","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131789201","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A proper functional market is vital for food producers, processors, traders, and consumers.Bangladesh has become self-sufficient in cereal crop production, but the production of horticulturalcrops is not sufficient yet. This situation has led to severe bottlenecks in the processes of marketing. Thestudy aimed at assessing the present marketing system of agricultural products in Sylhet and atdetermining the marketing constraints and potentialities of farm products in this area. It was found thatthe net marketing margin was the highest in the case of the retailer and the lowest in case of Aratdar. ButReturn on operating capital was the highest for the Aratdar because they did not need to purchase theproduct they handle. The farmers identified the high price of seed as the topmost constraint in productionand marketing systems.

However, pedestrian facilities are perhaps the most neglected and unattended ones in transportplanning of Dhaka city. Day by day, the rate of fatality is increasing in an unabated manner. If the ratehas to be controlled, it is imperative to know the various factors which result in the violation of trafficregulations by the pedestrians. This paper aims to know the various underlying reasons behind thepedestrians' non-compliance with the road safety regulations using both qualitative and quantitative toolsof social research. The findings of the study suggest that the existing road crossing facilities (overpass,zebra crossing) are inadequate as per demand. Poor monitoring and maintenance of the overpasses havemade them a hub for hawkers, beggars, addicts which demotivates the pedestrians in using them. Failureto provide and maintain road signs and markings, lack of education of road users, poor enforcement oftraffic regulations etc. are some of the other factors which result to traffic rules violation by thepedestrians. The study provides a modest suggestion to the government that they should think of givingroad safety issue a priority in the policy agenda. Moreover, necessary steps should be taken to increasethe current road crossing facilities along with the formation of a watchdog body that will monitor theviolations from time to time. Lastly, mass awareness building programs have to be initiated for educatingboth the pedestrians and the drivers regarding the road safety regulations.","PeriodicalId":126699,"journal":{"name":"Bangladesh Journal of Public Administration (BJPA)","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123118193","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
