8. The Development priorities of the Barind Area particularly concerning
the development of Agriculture.SO the main Objectives of BMDA are
as follows :
Augmentation of surface water resources and its use.
Increasing irrigation facilities by using underground water through
installation of Deep Tube Wells.

9. Formulate and implement command area development project
creating water distribution system for irrigation and development of
irrigation.
Ensure electrification of irrigation equipment and agro-based
industries in the area.
Re-excavation of ponds/Khal for psciculture development and
Irrigation.
Afforestation to achieve environmental and ecological balance.
Improving road communication by construction/Re-construction
of feeder Roads.
Crop diversification by using Deep Tubewells, Shallow Tubewells
and other pumps

10.  Groundwater Irrigation
 Installation of DTW with electrification.
 Surface water Irrigation
 Re-exacavation of derelict canal, pond and other mashes, construction of water
control
 Structure like cross-dam (check dam), rubber dam, LLP installation,
 Tree plantation
 Dug well Irrigation
 Buried pipe water distribution
 Drinking water from irrigation DTW
 Construction of feeder road.

11. •High Quality Seed production,marketing and distribution
•Training and Demonstration
•Research and development
•Using solar energy for irrigation & other agricultural activities
•Delivering Various agricultural data & Information
•Distributing Irrigational Prepaid Card Card
•Delivering Mobile Vendig Unit & arrange leadership training
•Reparing irrigational pump,motor,transformer etc.
•Examine irrigation & drinking water quality

13. Before’ 1985
Climate was very hot.Different from other part of the
country.Land was Barren & Very few trees .
Severe Scarcity of Water for Drink & Irrigation

14. Most of the Lands were Single cropped .Cultivation was fully
depanded on rain & usually hampered for the lack of adequate
& timely Rain.Insufficiant Food production results in SEVERE
FOOD CRISIS

17. For sustainable Agricultural Development in Barind Rezion In
1985 Govt. initiated a project named “Barind Integrated Area
Development Project” under the “Bangladesh Agricultural
Development Corporation”(BADC). After successful completion of
the project,to continue & gear up the agricultural development of
this area Govt. created a separate authority named “Barind
Multipurpose Development Authority” (BMDA) on 15 th January
1992 under the ministry of Agriculture.

71. Drinking Water Supply Installation 1124 nos(Supply of
drinking water from DTW through Over Head Tank)

74. Sl. No Activities Implementation Results
1. Sinkimg of Deeptubewell 14820 nos.
Single cropped land converted to three crops
land.Yield of crops in other areas also increased
due to irrigation facility. So, 50 lac MT food grains
are producing per year by BMDA’S operated Deep
tubewell
2.
Khas Canal & Ponds
Re-excavation
1537 km & 3005
nos.
About 87000 ha lands come under supplimentary
irrigation facilities. Temperature of surrounding
areas drecreases including increasing the yield of
crops.
3.
Delivering river water to
canal/ponds and use for
irrigarion
117 nos. LLPs
2700 Metric Ton food grain is producing per year
for irrigating 2400 ha of land.
4. Afforestation 2.70 crore
Facilitate the envitonmental balance. Temperature
reduced significantly. Grey Barind area converted
to green.
5. Feeder Road Construction 1003 km.
It facilitates the marking of agricultural products for
the development of remotest rural comminucation.

75. Sl. No Activities Implementation Results

Drinking water
supply
construction
from irrigation
deeptubewell
1100 nos.
There was drinking water crisis in the remote area. People used to take ponds,
canals and beel’s water for drinking purposes. Now about 12 lac people are
getting safe drinking water for construction of water distribution system from
irrigation Deeptubewell. So, they are free from water borne diseases. A project
has been approved for constructing more 550 nos. of water supply system.
7.
Irrigation
Equipment
operated by
prepaid meter
13600 nos
Farmers are giving irrigation according to the requirement of crops. So,
irrigation cost and wastage of water reduced. Financially cheating possibility of
farmers also reduced.
8.
Buried pipeline
construction
10773 km
About 10,200 bighas, of land has saved and about 20,400 MT food grains
produces per year. Besides this wastage of water reduced.
9.
construction of
Electric line
BMDA constructs 11 kV clectric line where there is no electric connection in
the village by its own supervision. Then Palli Bidyut Samity supplies electricity
to that areas by using that electric line. That is BMDA facilitates electric
connection to that remote area by constructing deeptubewell.
