37. Conclusion
Village study program opens the gate to come close with the rural
people. It is a great opportunity for the civil servants like us to come in
touch of nature and simple and easy going rural people. From this
program we have come to know the real picture of a village and its
inhabitants. We think this Mariamnagar village represents the all
villagers of Bangladesh. This is a real chance to be acquainted with the
social, political, economic and cultural life of rural people. These rural
people are deprived of many modern facilities. Women empowerment,
educational facilities, health facilities, recreational facilities should be
increased to improve the socio-economic condition of rural people. We,
the civil servants have moral responsibilities to make the people
conscious and contribute to the overall development of the life of rural
people.
