Guaranteeing employment to rural poor
GOVERNMENT'S plan to provide work to the unemployed in the rural areas is an appropriate strategy to address the miseries of the abjectly poor of rural Bangladesh. The plan seeks to ameliorate their sufferings during the lean period for about hundred days, to at least one person of an affected household. But we wonder, given the urgency of the situation, whether it is proper to tag the plan with the next fiscal year that doesn't commence till July. Two proposals of the government in this regard have attracted our attention that need to be dilated upon.
