Notwithstanding the comparatively slow income growth and modest abuse of income poverty reduction, Bangladeshs achievements in the all-embracing argona of human development were high-speed and in some respects remarkable. Although the take aim of social deprivations is still high, the pace of improvements has been encouraging.We are happy that our efforts in reducing child mortality in Bangladesh have been punctually acknowledged by the United Nations at 65th General Assembly sitting 20-22 September 2010.

There is more than 50% progress in attaining goal-2. In case of other goals, attainment is possible if necessary changes are made in policy and strategies. death Bangladesh had adverse initial conditions at the decease of its journey three decades ago.With one of the most vulnerable economies of the world characterized by highly high population density, low imagination base, high incidence of natural disasters and super adverse initial circumstances associated with the heritage of a war-ravaged economy, the implications for lon g-term savings, investments and growth were deemed super bleak. Bangladesh which was once termed the test case of development may indeed represent a learning site for keeping the hopes unrecorded for other equally less well-off post-colonial societies with adverse initial conditions.
