The discussants said students’ dropouts from primary and secondary schools couldn’t be prevented without collective efforts of all concerned especially teachers, guardians and community people.
Highlighting the aspects of ensuring child-friendly atmosphere in the society, they mentioned that all the government and non-government organisations concerned should come forward to protect the legitimate rights of the distressed children. They viewed children irrespective of privileged and underprivileged are equal. So, there is no way but to protect the rights of children living in scattered areas like char.
They urged upon the appliance recipient students to put in their level best efforts to become worthy citizens through attaining proper education.
Inter-cropping with sugarcane has been found as more beneficial to the farmers as it can boost total crop production per unit area coupled with ensuring sustainable sugarcane cultivation with higher economic benefit compared to other crops. Systematic inter-cropping- potato, onion, lentil, mug bean, garlic and some other winter crops, vegetables and spice help increases sugarcane yield compared to sole-cropping.
