Human Resources Management (HRM) in Bangladesh Civil Service

In the years of East India Company’s rule, the system of civil services was first established in the Indian Sub Continent. With its slight modification, this system with colonial legacy continued through both in Pakistan and India after partition of the Indian Sub-Continent in 1947, and is designated Bangladesh Civil Service after the emergence of Bangladesh. At the early stage of British rule in India, two exclusive groups of civil servants were working with the central government, such as (a) Covenanted Servants signing an agreement with the East India Company, (b) Uncovenanted Servants not signing the agreement.

Water resources of Bangladesh

Even though a water resource is an integral part of economic and social development for Bangladesh, it is very poorly managed. PRSP-2005 has identified the major areas of concern in water resource management as floods, drainage congestion, droughts, cross-boundary flows, river erosion and accretion, cyclones, water quality and rights, surface salinity, groundwater quality, climate change and environmental management.
