Devloping an industrial Zone in Northern region

Abstract

The article "Developing an Industrial Zone in Northern Region" examines the economic potential and strategic importance of establishing industrial hubs in Bangladesh's underdeveloped northern districts. The author highlights how targeted industrialization could address regional disparities by creating employment opportunities, stimulating local economies, and reducing poverty in areas historically affected by river erosion and agricultural instability. The analysis emphasizes the need for infrastructure development, private sector investment, and government incentives to transform the region into a manufacturing and processing center that complements existing export industries. By leveraging the northern region's labor force and geographic advantages, the article argues such industrial zones could contribute significantly to national GDP growth while promoting more balanced regional development.
