Magazine Description
In this issue
Bangladesh must deserve appreciation for progressing well in achieving the MDGs and going ahead of other Asian countries in this regard. The country also made significant achievements in power generation in the last few years reducing loadshedding to a great extent and bringing 65 percent of the population under the grid power. But the present government is not successful in increasing gas production keeping pace with the constant increase in demand. It has completely failed to mine own coal and ensure its proper utilization. The government must now focus on its plan to ensure electricity for all by the year 2021 to make the country a middle-income one. The dream of energy security is still unfulfilled. Moreover, political unrest at the fag end of this government has raised concern about continuation of the energy sector projects and ensuring energy security for the people. Sustainability of the steady economic growth will largely depend on the supply of energy as the country lagged much behind in ensuring primary energy. Therefore, it should be the top priority of the present government and the future one.
