[10 marks] Bangladesh is one of the densely populated countries of the world. But we do not have sufficient supply of energy. In Bangladesh, almost 80% of the people live in the village Job Publications Ltd. 12 wbðq bvgvh Akøxj I g ` KvR _ K `~ i iv L!

13 and only 32% of total population is connected to grid electricity. The country's electricity distribution board is not capable to cope with the exponential growth in demand for power in the capital and all over the country. To meet the existing energy demand, there is no alternative to renewable energies such as solar, wind, biomass etc. The possibilities of using solar power are already being tested and will mostly increase. Using solar energy, simply, is a process which can provide energy from the sun. Photovoltaic panel (PV panels made of silicon) is the tool to harness solar energy. A solar panel is mainly made from semiconductor materials such as silicon, gallium, arsenide etc. Though the initial price of installment is higher, it is expected that the price will go down within next 5 years. Considering the cost and inherent advantage of non-requirement of fuel, solar PV applications have great potential for both on grid and off grid applications, particularly the off grid rural areas. If we consider riverine territory of Bangladesh, there are vast 'Char' and delta areas where establishment of long transmission and distribution lines are not economically viable. So, what we see today as a moderately expensive energy solution is going to become a very attractive economic solution very soon. In conclusion, Bangladesh has adopted a renewable energy policy to generate 10% of its energy from renewable sources by This is no doubt a very ambitious target, attaining even 50% of the set target can be considered an applauding achievement and can make a very big difference so far the rural economy and quality of living standard of the country is concerned.

Very few people envisioned in 1971 that 45 years later Bangladesh would encompass almost $32 billion reserve. Overcoming myriad crisis, Bangladesh has indeed made substantial progress during the past four and a half decades. Now Bangladesh aims to be a middle-income country by Its per capita income is now 1602 us dollar and foreign investment is nearly $2.23 billion. Women participation in labour force has increased to 41%, literacy rate to 63% while school dropout rate has reduced to 20.4%. There are now 143 schemes of social safety net. Poverty rate is also on the decline. It means our country is experiencing economic boom. Six ongoing mega projects testify such claim. First of all, with a cost of $2.9 to $3.7 billion, Padma bridge is expected to open before the end of 2018 linking Louhajong, Munsiganj to Madaripur and Shariatpur. Mass people of southern region will get maximum benefits from it. Secondly, Metro Rail Project (rail route from Uttara to Bangladesh bank) will smoothen the communication system within the capital. Thirdly, Ruppur Nuclear Power Plant will bring about some huge changes in the national power productivity. Moreover projects like Rampal Power Project, Paira Deep Sea Port and Matarbari Coal Power Plant will definitely change our economic condition for better. 9 Though all these are yet to complete, but when these projects will end, these will massively Hockey (12) affect the economic growth of the country.

21 Bangladesh is also a leading global exporter of ready-made garment products. McKinsey recently predicted that apparel exports could gross $36 billion by Goldman Sachs highlighted Bangladesh as one of the next 11 emerging economies and JP Morgan identified it as a Frontier Five regarding the booming economy. Moreover relations with India and China have opened avenues of cooperation due to the landmark visits of our prime minister to both these countries. Relationships with Myanmar and Bhutan have considerably been improved. The government has tackled the chronic power and energy scarcity taking different short, mid and long-term plants. Now Bangladesh can generate megawatts power. The telecom sector, with nearly 100 million cell phone subscribers, has attracted FDI. Now the number of internet subscribers are 6.36 crore. Apart from these achievements, Bangladesh has also taken a leading role in the UN peacekeeping missions to enhance peace, promote dialogue and encourage cooperation. Bangladesh has become a brand name in UN peacekeeping as a top contributor participating in more than 51 missions involving 1,21,407 peacekeepers since Bangladesh is also the birthplace of microcredit, pioneered by the Nobel Peace Prize recipient, Professor Muhammad Yunus the founder of Grameen Bank. The Bank s approach has been replicated in more than 100 countries.
