Irrigation Project and Education: A Study on Teesta Barrage Irrigation Project Area of Nilphamari, Bangladesh Md. Abu Shahen, Md. Nurul Momen World Water Policy, 2025 The Government of Bangladesh established the Teesta Barrage Irrigation Project (TBIP) to ensure irrigation water supply for the farmers. This irrigation project spans three districts in the northern region of Bangladesh. The goal of this study is to investigate how the TBIP in Bangladesh affects the education of the farmer's family living in the irrigation project region. Though both qualitative (key informant interviews [KII], in‐depth interview, focus group discussion [FGD], and observation) and quantitative (survey) methodologies have been used in the study. The social survey, interview, targeted group discussions, and observations have all been applied in the study to achieve the research objectives. The results show that the irrigation project has raised agricultural output, boosted financial resources, and raised the educational standing of the farmer's family in the research areas. TBIP raises crop yield, which then improves educational attainment for the farmer's family members. The result looked at the notable improvements in the education status of the farmer's children, including increased in funding for education, increased in curiosity, and the enrollment rate in schools. Farmers have become more committed to holding parent–child conferences and providing educational materials for their kids. The study also showed that farmers in the middle and upper classes have benefited mostly from the TBIP. Conversely, lower‐level farmers did not reap the benefits from the TBIP, and there have been no improvements in their livelihoods. Due to the scarcity of water during cultivating season, due to unilateral water withdrawn by India, farmers were compelled to bear additional costs for water supply, reducing their family's educational expenditures. Therefore, the government should develop a comprehensive plan to ensure consistent water supply for crop cultivation throughout the year.
Dalits and their territorial rights in India Md Nurul Momen, Md Abu Shahen World Affairs, 2024 A caste is one of the conventional four social strata into which Hindu society seperates its members. The scriptures from ancient India make reference to it. The four classes are the Brahmins (priestly people), the Kshatriyas (rulers, administrators, and warriors; also known as Rajanyas), the Vaishyas (artisans, merchants, businessmen, and farmers), and the Shudras are the lowest of the caste system (laboring classes). However, an individual of the lowest class in traditional Indian society falls outside of the Hindu caste system and is subject to severe social restrictions. This commentary is divided into three parts; the first part highlights the caste system, the second part examines the constitutional and legislative safeguards for them, and the third part illustrates the current social disparity of Dalits in India.
