Environment and women are linked like a chain to each other. Development of one can certainly be the reason of upholding the situation of the other and vis-a-vis. In the arena of water women play a key role of associating the water with the human world. Hence, we need to understand the dynamics of the inner affiliation between women and water. Accordingly, this research examined the gender sensitivity of the National Water Policy Bangladesh, 1998. The underlined causation of the research was to figure out whether the National Water Policy is gender sensitive or not so that, a more gender sensitive Water Policy framework for formulation and implementation could be recommended for future reference which can foster women empowerment in the long run. The research has been done upon the theoretical foundation of liberal feminism using the theories of 'Strategic Gender Interests' by Molyneux and 'Feminist Environmentalism' by Bina Agarwal and the theory of 'Redistribution and Recognition' by Nancy Fraser. The outcome has shown that, in Bangladesh, the framed Water Policy was not generated in gender sensitive manner and there are evident flaws in implementation of the policy.

This research paper explores the changes in livelihood of people who have been using solar energy as a source of electricity. To see the development of people's lives, a combined framework of capability approaches by Amartya Sen and Martha C. Nussbaum is applied here. Field study is conducted in four areas of Shirajganj, Bangladesh. Lack of electricity is considered here as a form of deprivation which impedes the freedom of people. People who had no access to electricity faced different obstacles in achieving capabilities and performing functionings. Their lives were chained in the hands of day light. Solar system has been changing the situation in different sectors of lives. People can get more working and study hours.Solar system has also been creating some scopes for income generation. However, the facility it creates has a both positive and negative impressions. Based on the finidings, this research paper argues for expanding the use of this system in places where electricity is yet to be reached.
