Bangladesh, one of the most densely populated countries in the world, extends over an area of 147,570 sq km with a population of around 140 million. Most of the people live in rural and remote areas. In rural and remote areas of Bangladesh, financial viability becomes a problem in providing for a small number of residents the same depth and range of education opportunities as the capital Dhaka enjoys. Distance education can enhance and complement local resources. Also, the need for economic development in rural areas makes education all the more crucial. Unfortunately, in terms of telecommunications infrastructure, rural and poor areas are the most neglected part of the country, making E-learning associated modern distance education difficult.
