Bangladesh: From Basket Case to Asian Tiger

This book captures this success story of Bangladesh and will showcase path-breaking achievements of the Awami League government. The volume is a tribute to PM Sheikh Hasina, indomitable spirit and her vision and is a tribute to the people of Bangladesh. The volume is divided into various sections encompassing success stories in the fields of economy, agriculture, infrastructure, women empowerment, power and connectivity. Bangladesh’s independence was earned through a hard-fought war against Pakistan in 1971. The country and its people have repeatedly overcome hurdles after hurdles to become a South Asian powerhouse. The United Nations’ announcement of graduating Bangladesh to a “developing country” from a “least-developed country” has added a time-befitting dimension to the milestone celebration.
