Blended learning across Bhutanese higher education
This study examines the perceptions, practices, benefits, and challenges associated with blended learning (BL) in urban, semi-urban, and rural institutions in Bhutan. Using the Blended Learning Adoption Theory (BLAT), this paper explores students' interactions with and benefits of blended learning as well as the challenges. A quantitative cross-sectional design was used in the study for surveying 681 students from Royal Thimphu College (RTC, urba…
Students’ Satisfaction in Online Class during Covid-19
The COVID-19 pandemic caused higher education institutions to switch to online learning. This unique endeavor is being investigated to protect high-quality education. Due to its hasty and emergency implementation, students may have different opinions about this new education system. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the relationships between constructs such as students’ perceived effectiveness, institutional facility, teaching…
Evaluating co-management in the Sundarbans mangrove forest of Bangladesh
The relatively rapid expansion of protected areas (PAs) has outpaced their effective governance, monitoring, and evaluation processes, resulting in a knowledge gap, particularly in relation to the impact and efficacy of co-managed protected areas in conserving biodiversity globally. Bangladesh, like numerous other nations, is expanding its existing co-management model to incorporate additional PAs while simultaneously making only limited modifica…
Supply chain challenges and recommendations for international development agriculture projects
International development (ID) agriculture projects play a crucial role in ensuring the long-term viability of agriculture-based economies in developing countries. While, unlike other development projects, these projects face unique supply chain challenges that agriculture development projects focus primarily on increasing crop production to ensure food security in a country, which is affected not only by social or national context issues but als…
Procurement challenges in public-sector agricultural development projects in Bangladesh
The purpose of this paper is to identify and evaluate the key challenges to project procurement in public-sector agricultural development projects in Bangladesh. Being exploratory in nature, the study applied the modified Delphi method, the best worst method (BWM), and the interpretive structural modelling (ISM) approach sequentially for the investigation. Ten key procurement challenges were identified and validated through the use of a literatur…
Agro-information Service and Information-seeking Behaviour of Small-scale Farmers in Rural Bangladesh
Agriculture is the mainstay of Bangladesh’s economy, accounting for 15.89% of its GDP and 45.1% of its labour employment. Efficiency of economic activities in agriculture crucially depends on the flow of information relating to farming decisions, as well as on demand for such information by farmers. This study examines the information needs and information-seeking behaviour of small-scale farmers in rural Bangladesh. Opinions and feedback of farm…
Threats, vulnerability, resilience and displacement among the climate change and natural disaster-affected people in South-East Asia
This paper attempts to unfold the dynamics and nature of the socioeconomic threats and livelihood resilience among the climate change and natural disaster affected people in the South-East Asia. The study captures the nature of the socio-economic threats of the climate change and natural disasters, and unearths the process and underlying causes of livelihood resilience among the local communities in the South-East Asian region. Based on a qualita…

A study on the indigenous medicinal plants and healing practices in Chittagong Hill tracts (Bangladesh)
It has been unequivocally established that medicinal plants and associated knowledge play a significant role in the general welfare of the upland communities of Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT), Bangladesh. Notwithstanding the recognition, however, organised research on indigenous medicinal plants and knowledge has been strikingly limited. This local wisdom is fast eroding for such reasons as biotic interference, shrinking land resource base, defores…
Diuretic and nephroprotective effect of Jawarish Zarooni Sada—a polyherbal unani formulation
Sustainable land management with rubber-based agroforestry
The paper outlines the experience and performance of a community-focused land management and agroforestry project (the Upland Settlement Project or USP) in the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) region in south-eastern Bangladesh. The project attempts to ‘rehabilitate and develop’ some impoverished indigenous ethnic people, who have hitherto been engaged in shifting cultivation. The paper sheds light on the nature, organization and achievements of the …

Access to graduate education in Bangladesh
There has been growing concern in Bangladesh that access to higher education is restricted to high-income families. Here, the author reports on the early findings of research into the socio-economic backgrounds of students at Bangladesh's major universities. These findings indicate that the average student is from an affluent, probably land-owning, family. The results are worrying since they suggest that doing well in the education system prior t…
Leisure and Recreation among Women of Selected Hill-Farming Families in Bangladesh
Experience of recreation and leisure among women of some poor hill farming families in Bangladesh has been analyzed. Despite the poverty and hard work, these women enjoy recreation in their own unique ways. It is difficult to analyze their recreational behaviour through the conventional approach to leisure studies which views leisure as “free time” or “non-obligatory activity.” Women's work is of a routine and compulsory nature, and they hardly h…
Participation in social forestry re-examined
There has recently been unprecedented enthusiasm in Bangladesh for Social Forestry (SF). SF projects have been launched with the goal of involving local communities in managing forest resources. Proponents claim that SF has opened new scope for people's participation in forestry. Against such promises and claims, this paper attempts to evaluate the nature and extent of participation in an SF project in Bangladesh, which is currently receiving att…
