AB  - Bangladesh emerged as a new nation on December 16,1971. With an area of 1,47,570 square k. m it is one of the most populous and least developed countries of the world. About 73% of its people live in rural areas and most of them are poor and disadvantaged. Development planners recognize that the socio – economic upliftment of this great bulk of population is a pre-condition for overall development of the country. Sustainable development can never be thought of keeping this view aside. So along with the initiatives of the Government many NGOs like BRAC, CARE PROSHIKA etc. took up rural development programmes. The present article seeks to analyze the allied efforts of BRAC. The conceptual understanding of development, the historical perspective of rural development in the country and an assessment of BRACs Rural Development Programme (RDP) have been put into picture so that the development planners researchers and readers be attached to it and can do what is needful at their ends.
