হাতিল একটি গ্রামের নাম: To visualize the socio-economic condition of rural Bangladesh, we have visited a village named, “Hatil” which is situated 140 km far from Dhaka whereas ten km far from Muktagacha of Mymensing district. It is an agro based like other village of Bangladesh but the majority are landless and marginalized. In the high market price the farmers’ and grameem people’s suffering are increasing.

Though global development is running fast, but still rural development in Bangladesh are slow. There is no hospital and high school. Although there is “Pollii Biddut” that is rural electric connection , but Hatil severely has been effected by load-shading.

The village Hatil is adjacent to Madhupur forest. Green Forest environment is here prominent. But due to lack of environmental consciousness of villagers, the forest is now going to perish. Most of the villagers don’t know the result of environmental imbalances which occurred by forest destruction.

In Hatil, NGO activities particularly, the micro credit programs are prominent active rather than other development activities. Though the micro entrepreneurs are benefited by the micro credit programs, but there is objections about highest rate of interest and strong condition for installment.

The villagers are open and public minded. The rural hookers regularly sale products by solder-caring shop.

Making a good road from village to city is long time demand of villagers. Peoples are not satisfied by the local government activities. But peoples are happy to enjoy Boiati song.
