⧫Migration: Understanding its Causes, Challenges, and Opportunities⧫


Migration, the movement of people from one place to another, has been a significant phenomenon throughout human history. People have migrated for various reasons, including economic, social, political, and environmental factors. It has been a significant feature of Bangladesh's socioeconomic landscape for several decades. Our country has a large migrant population, with millions of Bangladeshis living and working in countries such as Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, the United States, and the United Kingdom. Migration has been a crucial driver of economic growth and development in Bangladesh, but it also poses several challenges and opportunities for the country.


➤ Reasons for Migration in Bangladesh:



There are many reasons why people in Bangladesh migrate to other countries. Some of the most common reasons include:
  • Economic Reasons: The lack of employment opportunities and low earnings in Bangladesh are two of the primary drivers of migration. According to the World Bank, around 24.3% of the population in Bangladesh lives below the poverty line. Many people migrate to other countries in search of better-paying jobs to support their families.
  • Political Reasons: Political unrest and instability have always been serious problems in Bangladesh. As a result, a large number of individuals have left the nation in search of safety abroad and to avoid conflict.
  • Natural Disasters: Bangladesh is prone to natural disasters such as floods, cyclones, and earthquakes, which can displace large numbers of people. Many of these people are forced to migrate to other parts of the country or to other countries to seek safety and shelter.
  • Education and Training: Many Bangladeshis migrate to other countries to pursue higher education and training opportunities that are not available in their home country. Australia and Canada are trending for this nowadays

➤ Impact of Migration on Bangladesh:

Bangladesh is affected by migration in a mixed way. On the positive side, remittances from Bangladeshi migrants working abroad have played a crucial role in the country's economy. In 2021, Bangladesh received over $22 billion in remittances, making it the 7th-largest recipient of remittances globally. These remittances have aided in reducing poverty, improving quality of life, and boosting economic development.

However, migration can also have negative impacts on the country. When large numbers of people leave the country, it can lead to a brain drain, where the country loses its most skilled and talented workers. This can make it harder for Bangladesh to develop its economy and create new job opportunities.


➤ Opportunities of Migration:

  Despite the difficulties, Bangladesh has a number of opportunities related to migration. The growth in remittances is among the most important advantages. Each year, Bangladesh receives remittances worth billions of dollars, which has lowered poverty and raised many people's standards of life.

Bangladeshi employees who migrate have the chance to expand their knowledge and experience in industries such as construction, healthcare, and technology, which they can apply to their work in Bangladesh after returning. Finally, migration provides opportunities for Bangladeshi businesses to expand their operations internationally.

➤Conclusion:

In Bangladesh, migration is a significant and complicated issue. While it offers chances for economic growth and progress, it also puts migrant labor at risk of abuse and exploitation. Although the Bangladeshi government has taken steps to uphold the rights of its migrant workers, more must be done to guarantee everyone can migrate in safety and dignity.

Down the sweet memory lane with my Dadu

Image
Written By Tasnia Ahmed Chowdhury Picture collected from Pinterest                                               "Man is mortal" - a fact that we often get to hear in our life. We only realize how cruel this fact is when we lose those people in our lives for whom we feel the deepest love from our hearts. When we lose the people with whom we find solace in our life and when we realize the love and care they gave to us were something priceless which can rarely be found from another person, only then the pain of losing one's dearest one hits us more than the pain of other things. The first time when we realize we lost that person forever we only grieve their death but as days pass by with their absence our grief comes from the yearning for the lost unconditional love they had showered on. One such person whom I lost in my life was my granny whom I used to call 'Dadu'. Having both working parents much of my early childhood was spent with my Dadu. She left this world a

  LFR: A segment of competitive robotics ◉   What is " Competitive Robotics "?         The use of robots in competitive events or contests is referred to as competitive robotics. Teams of students, amateurs, or professionals are challenged in these competitions to design, construct, and program robots that can successfully accomplish a number of challenges. Robot races, in which robots compete to complete a course as quickly as possible, robot wars, where robots engage in combat in an arena, and a variety of other challenges where robots must perform particular tasks, like navigating mazes, picking up objects, or completing obstacle courses, are just a few examples of competitive robotics.   ◉   What is " LFR "?         Using sensors and programming to direct its movement, "LFR"   is a form of robot that is intended to follow a line or track on the ground. The full form of "LFR" is "Line Follower Robot". To move materials along

The Quantum World

Image
  The Quantum World The quantum world is a mysterious area of science that defies understanding of the laws of classical physics and explores the behavior of matter and energy at a microscopic level. Quantum mechanics describes the behaviors of subatomic particles such as electrons, protons, and photons. Quantum mechanics was discovered by a group of physicists in the early 20 th century. Some of the famous physicists were Max Plank, Albert Einstein, Neils Bohr, Werner Heisenberg, and Erwin Schrodinger .                                                                                                                 Some mind-blowing quantum theories: Schrodinger’s Cat The Schrodinger’s cat was a thought experiment proposed by Erwin Schrodinger in 1935 to illustrate bizarre and counterintuitive implications of quantum mechanics. According to his experiment, a cat is placed inside a sealed box attached to a device that can release lethal poison to kill the cat. The release of
