We have passed more than four decades as an independent nation but still we could not build a strong infrastructure because of political instability, corruption, nepotism, and lack of political and administrative goodwill. Most of the people of our country still live under the poverty line. Three sections of our people are contributing greatly to our economic development but are neglected by the government. Firstly, our farmers have been working hard to meet the food demand of the country. Secondly, the migrant workers are sending their hard-earned money to the country which is the biggest source of our country's foreign currency reserve. Thirdly, our garment workers are doing an outstanding job and contributing a lot to our economic development. But it is a matter of sorrow that our farmers and garment workers are struggling most to make both ends meet. And our migrant workers are passing a troubled life abroad. If the government can not provide them support to live a healthy life, we as a nation can never prosper.
