Water for irrigation is derived from three sources: rainfall, groundwater water, and river water. Groundwater and rainwater are both influenced by geographical features, whereas river water is linked to the river systems of both neighboring and distant nations. The government of Bangladesh took a project on the Teesta River point in Dalia, Lalmonirhat district, to construct the Teesta Barrage Irrigation Project (TBIP) via a canal that supplied farmers with irrigation water. This irrigation initiative encompasses three districts in Bangladesh’s northern region. The present article endeavors to investigate comprehensively the effects of the Teesta barrage irrigation project on the agricultural output of the inhabitants residing in the Nilphamari district of Bangladesh. The results indicate that the irrigation project has contributed to a rise in agricultural output and an improvement in the financial standing of the producers residing in the study area. Nevertheless, while this research is founded upon both qualitative and quantitative methodologies, the quantitative approach predominates in its justification. The social survey, an interview schedule, and observation were all used during the course of this investigation. This article revealed that crop production underwent a number of enhancements, including modifications to cash crop patterns, income levels, and output quantities; crop varieties were also altered, cultivation periods were extended, and cultivation and harvesting techniques were modified. This study also found that the TBIP primarily benefits producers from the upper and middle classes. Conversely, the marginal level of cultivators does not receive the anticipated and adequate benefits from TBIP, and their circumstances remain unchanged.

The study utilized a qualitative approach, using a purposive sampling method to select respondents for in-depth interviews, key informant interviews, and focus group discussions. The street food vendors and stakeholders were selected from the project team, and the research tools included in-depth interviews with 20 vendors, interviews with 8 key stakeholders, and two focus group discussions with customers and entrepreneurs. The researcher discovered that NGO plays a critical role in skill development for street food vendors in Bangladesh. Prior to the project, vendors were unfamiliar with safety, hygiene, cleanliness, and sustainable promotion. The project improved their skills in safety and security, market promotion, hygiene maintenance, cleanliness, and sustainable development by implementing various activities like training, meetings, workshops, food festivals and fairs, market linkage, stakeholder involvement, online and offline market promotion, and so on. The project also increased restaurant customers and market creation. However, the study found that food safety NGO workers and street food programs have collaborated to raise awareness about food safety, health, hygiene, and environmental issues. These initiatives have improved health and lifestyles, improved food quality, increased client numbers, and increased business profits. The stakeholders gathering in Bogura and Rajshahi focused on promoting product certification, with some microenterprises pursuing it. Microenterprises received work-based training on food safety and hygiene, leading to advancements in food packaging, safe raw materials, cleanliness, and hygiene practices. Product certification training increased stakeholders' understanding of the importance of certification, and some MEs are now following it. The NGO organized a fair to highlight reputable food businesses and raise awareness of environmental sustainability, hygiene, and food safety. The entrepreneurs know how to prepare healthy dishes, increasing sales and revenue. This awareness have been raised due to the NGO's interventions implemented for street food vendors in the study area.

The scriptures from ancient India make reference to it. The four classes are the Brahmins (priestly people), the Kshatriyas (rulers, administrators, and warriors; also known as Rajanyas), the Vaishyas (artisans, merchants, businessmen, and farmers), and the Shudras are the lowest of the caste system (laboring classes). However, an individual of the lowest class in traditional Indian society falls outside of the Hindu caste system and is subject to severe social restrictions. This commentary is divided into three parts; the first part highlights the caste system, the second part examines the constitutional and legislative safeguards for them, and the third part illustrates the current social disparity of Dalits in India.

This paper is entirely shaped by a qualitative approach based on where KII and FGD methods were used for data collection.
