The department offers a variety of courses for the students of Bachelor of Science, Master\u2019s Degree. The department will offer MS in Rural Development very soon and after that it will offer PhD as well. Some of the courses of the department offering now are as- Principles of Rural Sociology, Government and Politics, Anthropology, Microfinance, Rural Development I, Rural Development II, Poverty Studies, Gender Studies, Social Demography<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Rural development means the development of the villagers\/villages. Bangladesh is a land of villages and around 70% of the people lives in village areas. So, prosperity of the country depends on the welfare of the villages not only the urban development. We should give more attention to the people of the remote areas, their lives and activities. Rural development is synonymous as agricultural development.\u00a0 Although agricultural development constitutes a major part of it, rural development is a much broader process which aims at the development of rural economy as a whole. Farmers are the hub of this economy. So, we must improve their lot by rural development studies and research.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_299\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gau.edu.bd\/rdv\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/52\/2025\/05\/RDV-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-299\" class=\"size-large wp-image-299\" src=\"https:\/\/gau.edu.bd\/rdv\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/52\/2025\/05\/RDV-1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"299\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gau.edu.bd\/rdv\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/52\/2025\/05\/RDV-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gau.edu.bd\/rdv\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/52\/2025\/05\/RDV-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gau.edu.bd\/rdv\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/52\/2025\/05\/RDV-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gau.edu.bd\/rdv\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/52\/2025\/05\/RDV-1-420x315.jpg 420w, https:\/\/gau.edu.bd\/rdv\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/52\/2025\/05\/RDV-1-738x554.jpg 738w, https:\/\/gau.edu.bd\/rdv\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/52\/2025\/05\/RDV-1.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-299\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Teachers of Rural Development Department<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>Vision<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The vision of the department is to be the \u201cCenter of Excellence\u201d in the field of rural development.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Mission<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Sustainable rural development through education and research-<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">-Produce qualified graduate for the development of rural &amp;
