Abstract

In the contemporary era of globalization, the substantial economic transformation observed worldwide is intrinsically linked to the rise of neoliberalism. Bangladesh, akin to numerous other developing nations, possesses an economy deeply rooted in agriculture. The state is progressively transitioning towards the global neoliberal paradigm through economic and policy reforms. Despite these changes, the issue remains: do rural regions and their agricultural techniques remain distinct? Or do these forms have a beneficial or harmful impact on them? The purpose of this study is to answer these questions. Charbaga village has been taken as an example of rural life in Bangladesh. This study aims to investigate the economic and cultural impacts of neoliberal policies, migration patterns, and people with low incomes in rural areas.
