Growth Centre: a Catalyst of Economic and Social Development: a Case of Bangladesh Kausik Das

Assessing the contribution of growth centre in the rural and even regional economic development is very difficult because of the difficulties of assigning values to the components of this contribution. This book incorporated the upshot of growth centre for economic and social development of rural Bangladesh. An attempt has been made to expose the changes in social life as well as in physical development of the area after built up the Growth centre. Thus, the more increase in the numbers of buyers in these markets, more will be the trade volume and turn over which perpetuate local development. But these rural markets are beset with many problems which are mostly associated with infrastructure. Growth centers with better infrastructure facilities are likely to play a wider role in the rural economy in comparison to the state where they are only rural markets and yet to receive any development investment. It has been seen that provision of infrastructure in rural markets actually paves the way for employment generation. This book will be useful for researcher and professional if planning, marketing and business, social and economic development.
