২১ ফেব্রুয়ারি—শহীদ দিবস ও আন্তর্জাতিক মাতৃভাষা দিবসে ভাষা শহীদ দের প্রতি গভীর শ্রদ্ধা ও ভালোবাসা।
মায়ের ভাষার মর্যাদা, সংস্কৃতির শেকড়, আর আত্মপরিচয়ের শক্তি—সবই আজ আমাদের মনে করিয়ে দেয় ত্যাগের সেই মহান ইতিহাস।
আসুন, বাংলা ভাষাকে হৃদয়ে ধারণ করি, শুদ্ধভাবে ব্যবহার করি, এবং ভাষার বৈচিত্র্যকে সম্মান করি।
শ্রদ্ধাঞ্জলি।

The “Climate-Resilient Infrastructure for Sustainable Community Life in the Haor Region of Bangladesh” project has been successfully completed. The project was supported under the IKI Small Grants Programme, which aims to strengthen locally driven solutions for effective climate change mitigation, adaptation, and biodiversity conservation.

CEGIS, on behalf of GIZ Bangladesh, provided technical assistance and was responsible for the overall monitoring and oversight of project activities.

The primary objective of the project was to design and implement climate-resilient protection measures in three selected Haatis (small elevated landforms within deep haor systems) in Sunamganj District, with the aim of safeguarding households and livelihoods from the adverse impacts of flash floods (Afaal). The interventions were planned and executed with due consideration of flood dynamics, wave direction, future climate change scenarios and the conservation of local biodiversity.

Under this project, the following activities has been implemented:

✅ 1.5 km of protective revetments and retaining wall
🌳 5,000+ native tree species planted as buffer zones
🏠 Elevated community courtyards in vulnerable villages

CEGIS, as a center of excellence in environment, water, and climate change, is committed to safeguarding the environment for future generations.

In Bangladesh’s flood-prone Haor region, communities face recurring flash floods that endanger lives, homes, and livelihoods. Supported by the International ...

ঘূর্ণিঝড় "ফেনজাল" দক্ষিণ-পশ্চিম বঙ্গোপসাগরে অবস্থান করছে এবং গত ৬ ঘন্টায় পশ্চিম-উত্তরপশ্চিম দিকে ১০ কিমি/ঘন্টা বেগে অগ্রসর হয়েছে। আজ ৩০ নভেম্বর ২০২৪ তারিখে সকাল ১১:৩০ টায় এটি ১২.৩° উত্তর অক্ষাংশ এবং ৮০.৭° পূর্ব দ্রাঘিমাংশে অবস্থান করছিল, যা পুদুচেরি থেকে ১০০ কিমি পূর্ব-উত্তরপূর্বে, চেন্নাই থেকে ১০০ কিমি দক্ষিণ-পূর্বে, নাগাপট্টিনাম থেকে ১৯০ কিমি উত্তর-উত্তরপূর্বে এবং ত্রিঙ্কোমালি থেকে ৪২০ কিমি উত্তরে।

এটি প্রায় পশ্চিম দিকে অগ্রসর হয়ে আজ সন্ধ্যায় কারাইকাল এবং মহাবলীপুরমের মধ্যে পুদুচেরির কাছাকাছি উত্তর তামিলনাড়ু-পুদুচেরি উপকূলে ৭০-৮০ কিমি/ঘন্টা বেগের ঝড়ো হাওয়া (দমকা হাওয়া ৯০ কিমি/ঘন্টা পর্যন্ত) সহ আঘাত হানবে বলে সম্ভাবনা রয়েছে। উপকূলের দিকে আসার সময় সিস্টেমটির ধীর গতিতে অগ্রসর হওয়ার সম্ভাবনা রয়েছে।

বাংলাদেশে আঘাত হানার সম্ভাবনা: প্রদত্ত তথ্য অনুযায়ী, ঘূর্ণিঝড়টি পশ্চিম দিকে অগ্রসর হয়ে তামিলনাড়ু ও পুদুচেরি উপকূলে আঘাত হানবে। তাই, এই ঘূর্ণিঝড়ের বাংলাদেশে আঘাত হানার সম্ভাবনা নেই।
তবে ঘূর্ণিঝড়ের প্রান্তীয় প্রভাব হিসেবে বাংলাদেশে হালকা বৃষ্টিপাত হতে পারে
