Recently the Bangladesh Jute Mills Corporation (BJMC) announced a project to develop industrial villages for
diversifying jute products in major jute producing districts. The government is also reportedly taking up a balancing
modernization rehabilitation and expansion (BMRE) projects for the state-owned jute mills at a cost of $350 million. Jute,
believed to be one of the key drivers of the economy has, no doubt, suffered much neglect over the decades due mainly to
improper planning. In fact, high prospect of this fiber as the most environment-friendly and cheaply available one could
not be made good use of stray. Initiatives were there, but lack of concerted efforts and financing was the main
impediment to materializing those as commercially viable. However, to benefit from the project in real sense of the terms
is to prepare a detailed and comprehensive roadmap. And it is here that planning matters. Experts, including industry
insiders, believe that one of the crucial areas where a big chunk of funds should do is research and development. In fact,
the need emerged years ago following the commendable achievement of genome sequencing of jute plants by
Bangladeshi scientists and researchers. It is commonly acknowledged that the only way the country’s jute industry can
shed much of its sluggishness is by producing more and more diversified products In keeping with consumers’
preferences at home and abroad. It is more about product development, Innovation and adaptation than just producing
more traditional products or dishing out funds to energize state owned sick mills. In order for the desired diversification to
take place, the government needs to work out a systematic plan which among other things should provide ample scope for
research and development.

Since the Renaissance we came across persistent emphasis on the development of individuality as the inspiring Ideal of
education. It has greatly encouraged intellectual freedom and creative joy as against authoritarianism and self-suppression
which is almost invariably associated with it. The consciousness of personal liberty is the clan of the present day
civilization and modern man does not as a rule consider life worth living without it. If in the middle Ages. Individuality
was very much suppressed, rather lost in the multitude under the burden of a mechanical adherence to certain routine
formalities from the cradle to the grave. Prima facie at least, just the reverse seems to be happening at the moment.
Except in some totalitarian regimes, our education experiments aim at the development of the distinctive individuality of
the distinctive individuality of the taught as far as practicable in an artificially devised favorable environment.
