DECENTRALIZATION AT SUB-DISTRICT LEVEL OF BANGLADESH: OVERVIEW ON HISTORICAL AND LEGAL PERSPECTIVES
| Abstract: Decentralization in Bangladesh was mainly introduced for the local change and development of the grassroots areas of Bangladesh. This article addresses the historical background and legal basis of decentralization at sub-district level (Upazila Parishad) of Bangladesh. This is a qualitative study mainly based on secondary sources of data and information about local level decentralization and development. The decentralization of power process is highly politicized from the ancient period in this country. The extent to which decentralization functions has been implemented will depend, to a very urge extent, on the form of decentralization adopted and the political willingness to genuinely involve the people in decision-making processes as against mobilizing them to approve a predetermined development agenda of the central government, which might not repeat the precise needs and development aspirations of the grassroots. The reader can raise their knowledge about the sub-district level decentralization practice from prehistoric to present age of Bangladesh and ongoing encounters in this system here. |
