Objective of the study
Bangladesh’s performance in human development has not been uniform across its regions, as measured by the four directions from the epicenter, its capital Dhaka. We will not go into any discussion of the regional records in human development, simply because the specific scope of this study will not allow us to take up any topic that is so extensive in scope, and, also because the limited focus of this study will not allow us to undertake a concentrated exercise on our chosen topic of development communication: as applied by UNDP in CHT. We have deliberately used the term “applied” to include two aspects of development communication: as one existing only in theory and in plans, and as one that is actually practiced.
