Bangladesh lives in villages. There are about 84,000 villages in Bangladesh. Bangladesh with her predominantly rural population of 84% is characterized by a stagnation in the economy with per capita income stooping as low as US$ 170 per annum. The situation in the rural areas is even worse with unemployment and underemployment widely prevalent at least with 40% of the ruralities. In the face of such challenges, the prime needs of rural development in Bangladesh have been identified as productive employment and income generating programmes in both farm and non-farm sectors along with appropriate technological information on land based activities and development of basic infrastructures. In the present day world, information is an essential input to any R&D (Research and Development) activity. Some benefits likely to result from a larger availability of scientific and technical information are:
(a) Improved capability of a country to take advantage of existing knowledge and ‘know-how’ achieved elsewhere.
(b) Rationalization and systematization of a country’s research and development efforts in the light of knowledge already available.
(c) Wider knowledge base for the solution of problems.
(d) New alternatives and approaches to the solution of technical problems, and options for minimizing future ones.
(e) improved effectiveness and efficiency of technical activities in the production and service sectors.
(f) Above all, better decision – making in all sectors and at all levels of responsibility.
