Present government has focused on rural development by setting up the slogan- Village will be Town. Following the concept of My Village My Town – Amar Gram, Amar Shohor - as described in the Election Manifesto, 2018, the government is committed to improve quality of life both in urban and rural areas of Bangladesh. It wants to make civic amenities and facilities of the towns available in the villages. These facilities include provisioning of modern transport infrastructures, creation of opportunities for modern health care and education, ensuring safe drinking water and sanitation, increasing electricity and fuel supply, and providing access to information technology and high speed internet etc. The commitment is reiterated in the Annual Development Program of 2019-20. Government is also aware that it is becoming increasingly difficult to protect agricultural land which is essential for ensuring food security.
