Population census

Dr. Lailun Nahar, On e-mail
Population census is going to be conducted in the country next month. I hope Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics would add new points in the fifth survey questionnaire. The questionnaire formulated long ago is utilised by the authorities without any change. Since the beginning of Family Planning programmes in our country in 1975, all educated people became conscious about their family size. But illiterate population is not yet conscious about social factor or their family size. Our government is taking quite a number of good measures to meet the MDGs. During this census, people at grassroots level should be warned of losing many facilities, if they have more than two children.
