Few years ago people of a rural area of Anowara, an upazila of Chittagong, Bangladesh, was sowing paddy plants in a road to protest the Government for not taking steps for furnishing these road by bricks. They suffered long time by using these road but not interested to take their own unite initiatives furnishing the road. If the local people of these area, wish, they came unite and might be usable the road for trafficking. But they could not try to use their brain and labor to do this, they waited for the Government for long time. We know, when people make unity, they can do everything.

Also today, not only the people of Bangladesh, as well as the under developed and non-developed countries, wait for the Governments steps for all types of development works. There are some places have many roads not to fit for use, no schools or destroyed by natural calamities or students studied in the open sky, some areas have no hospital or small health center, poor infrastructure development etc.

Everyone knows that, there are many problems in developing and non-developed countries. Their economic conditions are not good, have less skillful manpower and the Government of those countries have no capability to do all the big and small development activities at a time. Also they cant able to continue their development activities in all over the country and fails to develop more areas especially in rural areas. Moreover, there are so many social and political problems. Corruption is also a main factor of less development of those countries. In one side, they have less ability to do development works in whole country to make up their necessity and in other side; they misuse money and make corruption in many cases. For that reason, the local development programs work slowly. However, people know these but dont be interested to take own or uniquely effort for development matters. Rather than they feel interest blaming the state. If the people of those countries united do some small development works by taking own initiatives. They need not to wait for the Government and suffered for long time. And by doing this they can relief the Govt. and Govt. get opportunity to concentrate for big infrastructure development.

In the whole world, it is the time for Participatory Local Development and everyone gives priority to this. Many NGO, local and international development organizations try to build awareness about people participatory local development by arranging seminar, round table meeting, rally etc. But most of their programs are practiced in the capital or towns and more than less rural and village area people (user or consumer) have chance to participate. If there is any possibility for a rural area man to participate in any program like that, he has no exercise authority over the decision making and his opinion is not mandatory to influence the decision making process.

If it is possible to start some small development works by engaging local people in mentally, physically and financially, I think the development programs run swiftly and it is more positive for the developing and non-developed countries to properly do the development works. There would be several options for the local people to participate in the whole program as he or she can. Some people contribute money, some work mentally and physically and some give land or equipments (which are useful for those development programs). For example, to make or repair a local road or school building or dam in the bank of a river, local people cordially participate in this work if they have positive awareness about the result of Participatory Local Development.

I believe that, if Government, NGO, local and international development organizations, blog forums etc take proper initiatives to build up awareness for that like Participatory Local Development and propagating its positive result, advantage and effectiveness; people will cordially receive it and try to participate. Our Government, NGO, local and international development organizations, blog forums etc should take and replace these programs by changing their existing programs. Moreover, if it possible to do, local people obviously accept it and engage own self.

Repeatedly I want to say that, if local people be unified and involved themselves they can easily do the development works in their own area. So, people should be aware about these type participatory development initiatives. At first, it is needed to make a combined plan. And it should be non political but open for all. The main theme of this plan will be ensure the unity of the people of related area and their presence in the development program by contributing money, wealth, labor, land, equipments etc. There will be an option for the Government or states help but not mandatory. People will take all the initiatives as their own needs. Our Government, NGO, local and international development organizations, blog forums etc will be able to build awareness about it, if they involved.
