Study on Energy Policy of Bangladesh

Year 2007 was stamped by lot of controversies that coiled the socio-economic scenario of Bangladesh. The TATA proposal, Phulbari massacre repeatedly reminded us about the vagueness of our policy implementation process. A debate popped out regarding energy conservation. However we have realized that policy bankruptcy and lack of technological courage are the major hindrances of promoting a subtle long term development plan. The impotent government plan by myopic policy makers shamelessly failed to secure national security and our inherited wealth.

ESC thus organized a seminar titled “Study on Energy Policy of Bangladesh”.
