Abstract
Like every other welfare nation, the government of Bangladesh has a handful of programs running to support the poor, vulnerable, destitute, and handicapped citizens of the country. Although these programs are certified by the constitution of Bangladesh and have a specific amount of Budget allowance from the GDP, they are dragging their feet in many ways. A few works of literature were reviewed to understand the basic problems in these programs for this study which suggest that the program is very ambitious in terms of the capacity of the government of Bangladesh. On the other hand, the promises mentioned in the implementation manual are hardly followed. Besides, the shortage of transparency is also a huge factor in Bangladesh. The study finds these programs problematic and argues for their reformation.
