Editor's Note

We are proud to present to you the third instalment of our five-part special supplement series on the occasion of The Daily Star’s 33rd anniversary.

Can Bangladesh reap its many benefits?

Mega projects alone can’t ensure true development

Development of the country is not possible through the implementation of mega projects alone and without the human resource properly developed, said a noted economist.

How high up does the depravity go?

Corruption plaguing the Department of Youth Development

Dhaka greeted the new year with the country’s first metro.

Mahfuz Anam writes: What is the state of Awami League as a political party?

This election year, the question that will inevitably come to the fore is of how successful AL has been in keeping its promises.

The unstoppable journey towards a Smart Bangladesh

The announcement of Digital Bangladesh Vision 2021 was proclaimed in 2009. 13 years later, keeping up with the growing global changes, the government aims to establish Smart Bangladesh - a developed and prosperous country by 2041 through the transition to a knowledge-based economy.

New challenges facing five-year plan

Bangladesh will have to deal with the challenges related to the Covid-19 pandemic, graduation from the list of the least-developed country and climate change, and the barriers standing in the way of Sustainable Development Goals during the Eighth Five-Year Plan period. 

“Bangladesh, with its challenges, can be a development model for African nations”

Name a nation where 44 percent of people live in extreme poverty, women have an average of 4.5 children, and the per capita income is less than $500? The answer -- Bangladesh around 1990.
