three basic organs: The Executive, the Legislature, and the Judiciary. The
President is the Head of State and is elected by the members of Parliament.
The President acts in accordance with the advice of the Prime Minister.
 Bangladesh has primarily an agrarian economy. Agriculture is the single
largest sector in the economy producing about 30% of the country’s GDP and
employing around 60% of the total labour force. The country has a
considerable number of large, medium and small-sized industries in both
the public and private sectors based on both indigenous and imported raw
materials. Among them are jute, cotton, textiles, fertilizer, engineering,
shipbuilding, steel, oil-refinery, paper, newsprint, sugar, chemicals, cement

3.  East Bengal - the eastern segment of Bengal - was a historically
prosperous region. The Ganges Delta provided advantages of a mild,
almost tropical climate, fertile soil, ample water, and an abundance of
fish, wildlife, and fruit. The standard of living is believed to have been
higher compared with other parts of South Asia. As early as the
thirteenth century, the region was developing as an agrarian
economy. Bengal was the junction of trade routes on the
Southeastern Silk Road. Under Mughal rule, it was a center of the
worldwide muslin, silk and pearl trade. The British East India company,
however, on their arrival in the late eighteenth century, chose to
develop Calcutta, now the capital city of West Bengal, as their
commercial and administrative center for the company held territories in
South Asia.Ripon 3
