Dhaka is now overloaded with a huge population. Many people came to Dhaka from the rural areas in search of cash earnings as the rural settings miserably lack employment opportunities. Under the pressure of over population, Dhaka is rapidly moving towards bankruptcy in respect of housing, transport, water-supply, civic amenities and most importantly its environmental status. Perhaps it is the time when the government should attach special attention to generate employment opportunities in the rural setting by establishing agro-based small industries. At the same time, easy access of the farmers to cold-storage and marketing facilities has to be ensured for agricultural produces so that farmers may not sustain losses and lose interest in agricultural occupation.
