Abstract

‘Sustainable Development’ is such a desiring reality, unquestionably, which costs much at the same time it returns back with fuller. The durability of any establishment, project or development undertaking makes human life easy and speedy. The country is now looking forward to accelerating its overall development modules. ‘Sustainable development’ as a legitimate expectation on the part of the common people deserves overriding importance to be perceived by the highest executive body of the country. It should have been the state’s responsibility whereby the state will be holding a non-compromising approach towards negligence, corruption, manipulations or anything like these in any development projects of the country. Any Sustainable development of today will make the life and living standards secured for the upcoming generations tomorrow and that has been an unconditional obligation of the present generation as well. This research paper has been designed to explore the sustainable development plan of the country and the challenges ahead thereto. Sincerity, accountability, transparency, and effectiveness on the part of various departments of the government is still a dream than a reality. The concerted effort may change the entire scenario and bring everything to light. The durability of current development works in different parts of the country is highly questionable due to the poor work plan, acute corruption and absence of accountability. Moreover, the common people are not satisfied with the quality of the various infrastructural developments across the country. Ensuring quality works in the development process is a big challenge for a newly developing country like Bangladesh.
