Employment generation is a prerequisite to poverty alleviation. To
enhance employment generation, we need proper planning, clear guidance
and skilled management. Considering the reality, an effective development
plan can be developed and implemented to generate employment at the
grass root level. At the grass root level, a unit can be formed with twenty
households in a village. The Unit will be supported to run a project. One
supervisor will take care of twenty units. One branch will include twenty
supervisors. The branch will have control over the units. There will be a local
committee in each of the units. The Units will get loan through these
committees. The sell and purchase of the products will also be carried out
through these committees. The members of the units will be given the profit
of the project after deducting loan service charge. In this way, numerous
employment opportunities could be generated.

Selim Mia, Sundarganj, Gaibandha
All people have relationship with land. But, all do not know the land
measurement system and the importance of keeping proper documents as
owners. Due to lack of land related education in our education system,
people claim ownership on other people’s land with wrong and fake
documents and records. It creates conflicts among land owners and fake
claimers. Involving into case, they also turn into poor and suffer from food
insecurity. In order to maintain peace and order in a country, people need to
be conscious on land related knowledge, which can be learnt through
textbooks. Land education, thereby, can decrease disputes, conflict and
poverty. For the sake of national interest, land education and introducing
land card are crucial. By maintaining land card, transparent land
management and ownership can be easily ensured. It will lessen corruption,
conflict and law suit.
