Using the riches of Sylhet

The limited natural resources that Bangladesh is endowed with, lies mostly in the Sylhet region. Such as natural gas, tea garden, woods of rain forests, and abundant sweet water in beels and haors that we hardly get together in any part of Bangladesh. Also a large number of people who have migrated to the U .K. and the U.S.A are contributing greatly to our economy by sending remittances. Even the newly elected Bangladeshi origin British MP Rosnara Ali and US congressman Hashem Clarke are from Sylhet. But the rate of illiteracy, the growth rate of population is very high here. The gap between poor and rich is extremely wide. The madrassas are more in numbers which produce youths incapable of doing anything except religious rituals. The expatriates built houses which remain empty all the year. The govt. with the help of expatriates should take massive development plans for overall development of the region.
