Nikli-Soharmul-Karimganj Road Under Rural Infrastructures Development Project

Bangladesh is one of the most densely populated countries in the world and a vast majority of the population lives in the rural areas. The overall development of the country depends on the infrastructure development in the rural areas. Towards that end rural development aims at increasing socio-economic development of the rural people through construction of rural infrastructures including roads, bridges/culverts connecting the business centers, growth centers, union parisad, upazila headquarters and health complex etc. The proposed project is located at Kishoreganj district covered of 13 Upazila (Karimganj, Nikli, Itna, Sadar, Hossainpur, Austagram, Mithamoin, Bhairab, Tarail, Katiadi, Pakundia, Kuliarchar, Bajitpur).
