National revenue is growing which we are telling development, but approximately 82 percent of the country's population lived in rural areas, virtually all of them making their living exclusively or substantially from agriculture. Poverty in Bangladesh is primarily a ’rural phenomenon’, with 53 percent of its rural population classified as poor, comprising about 85 percent of the country’s poor. Without developing the agriculture, it is quite impossible to develop the country. Population’s high birth rate is increasing the levels of poverty in Bangladesh. So please give priorities for Agriculture, ‘Human population control’ and Rural Development to escape poverty and to meet the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). - Mahmudul Hasan Fri, 23 Sep 2011 19:34:02 +0100
