Bangladesh is an economically developing country. We cannot develop our country because of some major economic barriers. Economic development of a country effected by many facts including political, economical, geographical, infrastructural, international economy system, scarcity of resources, Natural disaster, corruption, communication problem and so on. Because of these problems we are backward in economic situation. Every problem has a solution, so attempt to point out the problem and ensure the solution according the pattern of the problem.

Economic Growth and Development is what every country want for their wealth, but somehow still it is quite impossible for Less Economic Developed Countries, like Bangladesh, to gain economic growth and development, since there are many barriers to growth and development that hold back this developing country. Common examples of the challenges are Unemployment, Poverty cycle, Natural Hazards, Poor economic condition, less infrastructural development, Political factors and International financial barriers etc. These are basically the challenges that act as a hindrance to economic growth or economic development. As like as many poor countries Bangladesh is known to have a poor economic and political system and through these this country facing a variety of challenges to growth.

    The Truth About A Quick First Step What is a First Step The first step is basically the first step you take of the dribble, when driving towards the basket, in order to beat your opponent to the hoop. It does take the right strength, coordination, and the right boost of energy, which is required from the leg you typically use to make your first step, but to become a better player, you should condition both legs to be able to take the first step when driving to the hoop. You will find that with the quick first step move, you will be able to blow by any player one on one, and it will greatly improve your overall game when facing the basket. So, when training, you have to make sure to use the right drills, weight lifting, and leg workouts, in order to build up the strength, allowing you to quickly push off, and breeze by your defender. There are 2 basic components of the first step. First is the force, which is the strength you exert along with how quickly you apply it. Therefore, to improve your first step, not only do you need more force and strength in your legs and core, but you need to know which leg to push off, and when to push off, in order to have a faster first step. The second component is coordination, which is the actual ability to perform the move. The only real way to improve coordination is to continually practice your first step, off both legs, until you perfect the move. Importance of a First Step There are several reasons you want to have a great first step. First off, it is going to make you much more of a threat when the opposing team is playing one on one defense. Even when help defense comes your way, if your first step is quick enough, they are not going to be able to reach you before you make it in for the easy layup or dunk. Your first step is also important to be a better passer, and find the open man. If you are quick enough, you will draw more defense towards you, leaving teammates open, and allowing you to dish out for a quick jump shot,…

    Although one of the world 's poorest and most densely populated countries, Bangladesh has made major strides to meet the food needs of its increasing population, through increased domestic production augmented by imports. The land is devoted mainly to rice and jute cultivation, although wheat production has increased in recent years; the country is largely self-sufficient in rice production. Nonetheless, an estimated 10% to 15% of the population faces serious nutritional risk. Bangladesh 's predominantly agricultural economy depends heavily on an erratic monsoonal cycle, with periodic flooding and drought. Although improving, infrastructure to support transportation, communications, and power supply is poorly developed. Bangladesh is limited in its reserves of coal and oil, and its industrial base is weak. The country 's main endowments include its vast human resource base, rich agricultural land, relatively abundant water, and substantial reserves of natural gas. Following the violent events of 1971 during the fight for independence, Bangladesh--with the help of large infusions of donor relief and development aid--slowly began to turn its attention to developing new industrial capacity and rehabilitating its economy. The static economic model adopted by its early leadership, however--including the nationalization of much of the industrial sector--resulted in inefficiency and economic stagnation. Beginning in late 1975, the government gradually gave greater scope to private sector participation in the economy, a pattern that has continued. A few state-owned enterprises have been privatized, but many, including major portions of the banking and jute sectors, remain under government control. Population growth, inefficiency in the public…

    From the table it can be said, the GDP is increasing from year 2011-2016. As Bangladesh is a developing country, maintaining a positive growth in GDP is a big challenge. The major challenges are power and energy shortage, infrastructure bottlenecks, increases in fuel and non-fuel commodity prices in the international market, uncertainty in remittance growth, upward inflationary pressure, underutilization of the ADP, a downward trend in foreign aid utilization over the past few years, increased Bank borrowing by the government, increased pressure for subsidy, exchange rate instability and pressure on foreign exchange reserve.

    The macroeconomic developments in Bangladesh since the beginning of the 1990s, until middle of the decade, were characterized by a record-low rate of inflation, an unprecedented build-up of external reserves and an improved resource position of the government. These developments have been interpreted in part as evidence of successful macroeconomic stabilization, but also in part as symptoms of economic stagnation. The changes in the macroeconomic trends in the early 1990s came in the wake of a transition to a democratic rule along with the launching of a comprehensive programme of market-oriented liberalizing policy reforms. After that period there was a evident in a build-up of inflationary pressures, a deterioration in the government 's budgetary balances and a rapid draw-down on foreign exchange reserves.…

    To know about this issue is important for many ways. First of all, in any kind of development ‘participation’ comes first and Bangladesh is a developing country and will be a developed country in very near future. Having a target of upgrade itself into a developed country, many development initiatives has been taken by the present and previous government. Moreover it is very appalling to mention that; majority portion of these development initiatives has gone into the vain just because of lack of public participation. I have mentioned about ‘participation’ because, national parliament of any democratic country is the place of participation and dialogue and debate. When in any issue participation,…
