A child born today in Bangladesh would be more productive than his peers in India and Pakistan, as the country fared better than its larger regional competitors in a new World Bank ranking. Bangladesh has outpaced both the South Asian average and the lower middle-income average in all criteria, except for stunting, in the first Human Capital Index (HCI) prepared by the World Bank. Students in Bangladesh scored 368 on a scale of 625, with the highest representing advanced attainment and 300 representing the minimum attainment. Additionally, Bangladesh ranked 106th among 157 countries that were used by the WB for the list. Sri Lanka topped the list among South Asian countries, with a ranking of 72. Nepal was placed at 102, India at 115, Afghanistan 133, and Pakistan 134. in Bangladesh, 97 percent of children are likely to survive to the age 5 and about 87 percent of 15-year olds are likely to survive to the age 60. A country score of 0.5 means that individuals — and the country as a whole — are forgoing half of their future economic potential. Calculated over 50 years, this translates into deep economic losses: a 1.4 percent annual loss in GDP growth. Bangladesh’s strong track record of poverty reduction and development shows that with the right policies and actions, further progress is possible.

A good number of landless peasants under Pirgachha upazila in the district are getting financially benefited through farming vegetables on floating beds. These extreme poor people have shown how to cop with the adverse circumstances by adopting such innovative method of food production for their survival. Despite having no piece of cultivable lands of their own they have achieved remarkable success in farming crops on floating beds in discarded water bodies. Thus they are also encouraging others to follow their example. The farmers are cultivating different varieties of vegetables including bottle gourd, bean, cucumber, brinjals and various leafy vegetables without using any pesticides and chemical fertilisers. A total of 80 floating beds have been set up so far for farming vegetables in the area. Due to low production cost gradually more farmers are getting interested in this method. They are optimistic about expanding such method of vegetable farming on floating garden in more areas under the upazila within next year.
In today’s world, corporate reputation management is one of the key business drivers for any organisation. No wonder managing reputation is taking the centre stage as one of the important strategic issues for the businesses. A study conducted in 2011 by US-based renowned research firm Ethics Resource Centre clearly shows that corporate reputation has a huge influence on consumers’ buying decisions, investors’ decisions to buy stocks, and regulators’ consent in issuing operating licences and other permissions. It was also quite evident from the study that in order to attract the best talents, reputation plays a pivotal role. According to Ernst and Young, investors believe that corporate reputation constitutes 30-50 percent of an organisation’s market value. It is essential for the management and senior leaders of the organisations to be always alert and on their toes. Bad word-of-mouth, a lack of response to a crisis, and a lack of transparency can rapidly decimate the reputation of a company.
