A Brief Introduction
Bangladesh Peasants' Welfare Society (Bangladesh Chasi Kallyan Samity) has
accepted the challenge of helping this poorest of the poor class by organizing
them so as to get them out of the vicious circle of poverty.
Inception & Registration:
In the past the organizations which were
founded through chanting slogans in favor of development and prosperity have
recovered their political interest hoodwinking the peasants in the garb of
solution of their problems. Hundreds of local and foreign N.G.O.s took this
opportunity in total and started their activities in the name of poverty
alleviation as well as socioeconomic uplift. They imposed the burden of
agricultural loan based on interest on the poor and distressed peasants who are,
therefore, forced to sell their own agricultural lands, homesteads etc. to repay
the loan. The people who failed to repay the loans are victims of oppressions by
these N.G.O.s.
In such a situation,
Bangladesh Chasi Kallyan Samity was founded in 1977 in order to undertake
pragmatic steps and unite peasants under the banner of a well-disciplined
organization. Since its inception our organization has been working as a bridge
in the context of securing all demands and facilities of the peasants. The
progress and prosperity of our Society and our practicable plans and their
proper inception has drawn attention of peasants throughout the country. For our
well-devised schemes and diverse programmes, we have become well known as a
national organization.
The Peasants' Welfare
Society got registration in the name and style of Bangladesh Chashi Kallyan
Samity on 6th September under the societies' registration and Control
Ordinance (Act.XXVI) 1961.
It is a non-government, non-political and non-profit social welfare organization.
