(i)water supply in Dhaka:
The
Dhaka Water and Sewerage Authority
(DWASA) currently supplies water to about 70% of the population
of the Dhaka City Corporation (DCC) and its suburbs
through a distribution network. The four million people living in the 3,000 Dhaka slums also rely on DWASA's piped
water, as there is no other reliable source of water available; but public standpipes are always remotely located. DWASA's sewerage network covers only about 1 1 0 km2. Trunk sewers suffered
major damage during the 1998 and 2004 floods; as a result, only about 40% of the waste water generated by the existing
50,000 Connections currently
reach the waste water
treatment plant. High standard buildings dispose of their black waters in septic tanks
and their grey waters in storm water drains. Lower income households rely DWASA is also responsible for developing and operating the underground storm water drainage system that covers an area of about 140 km2; Dhaka City Corporation is in charge of surface
drains. Natural channels and wetlands that help Dhaka cope with storm water flows are
rapidly being destroyed by the urban development. Public health is affected
by the limited coverage of both the water supply and waste water facilities and recurrent flooding.
DWASA needs to update its water supply master plan to help protect existing sources, develop new ones, and rationalize its distribution network. DWASA also needs to update its sanitation strategy and its wastewater management master plan, as well as its storm water drainage master plan, to ensure that minimum retention capacity of storm water flows is
reserved in the city whose population
is expanding at a rate of almost 0.8 million per year.
The Government of Bangladesh has requested assistance from the World Bank to prepare the proposed
project to improve water supply, sewerage disposal, and sanitation and storm water drainage facilities in Dhaka.
(ii) Rice market:
Rice is very important because about 40% farmers in Bangladesh are producing rice. By which most people in Bangladesh regulate their living condition. Rice is the seed of the monocot plant Orzo sativa. As acereal grain, it is the most important food for a large part of the world’s human population, especially in East and South Asia, the Middle East, Latin America, and the West Indies. It is the grain with the second-highest worldwide production. Rice production increases must be achieved at a faster rate than in most other countries, while the land planted to rice is not expanding. But in our country there is some major factor which is affect on production of rice price. There are some causes which are affecting on our production of rice Such as 1.All kinds of natural disaster. Rice price is high because we are not self-sufficient in producing rice and we import rice from many countries. On the other hand we are some facing some problem on production
process such down technology
corruption , syndicate , middle man .lack of improve technology ,lack of capital , hybrid and lack of supply and inputs. Mostly consumers and producer
are affected.
(iii) Mobile phone services:

types of services; including pre-pay or contract services.
There are also different
pricing options and additional services to opt for, as well as different makes, models and types of mobile phone handsets to choose from.

(iv) Banking services:
Banking service in Bangladesh is characterized as a highly competitive and highly regulated
sector. With a good number of banks already in operation and a few more in the pipeline, the market is becoming increasingly competitive by the day.With the global slowdown in the face of rising competition, the commercial banks are constantly looking
for ways to develop their market and product offers to remain ahead of others. A significant amount of regulation by Bangladesh Bank prevents the scope of introducing newer products into the market and thereby restricts a banks’ ability to outperform others with a diversified product range.
However, recent trends have shown banks shifting away from vanilla products (basic
products) towards higher value added products that are highly structured, to meet the needs of the clients.
Involvement of the banking sector in different financial events is increasing
day by day. At the same time the banking process is becoming faster, easier and the banking arena is becoming wider. As the demand for better service increases,
the banking organizations are coming with innovative ideas.
In order to survive in the competitive field of the banking sector, all banking organizations are looking for better service opportunities to provide to their clients.
