Green The Environment is a completely non-sectarian, non-political, non-profit, voluntary, social, democratic and welfare oriented social organization. Bangldesh is an agro based developing in the south Asia and here almost 80% of the people ae dependent on agriculture and live in the rural area. Lack of education, proper knowledge on fruitful cultivation, limitation of modern agricultural tools is the prime impediment of the farmer in our country. In addition, the extreme power of middlemen and less governance in marketing of agricultural good as well as frequent natural calamities disgraced the condition of the farmer. In this context, Green The Environment (GTE) was founded in July,1997 with a view to improving the livelihood status of the society through capacity building, awareness creation regarding education, health, nutrition and sanitation issues, improve cultivation, environment protection and various social issues as mass development. Besides, GTE specially concern with the development of agricultural system, disaster management, group based agricultural goods marketing, linkage between the farmers group and large chain shop or departmental store of the country. GTE also provide training on agro-based substitute product like jam, jelly, souse, pickle etc. AS a Non-Government Organization, we design and conduct such program with root level of the society. GTE provides assistance for seeds, fertilizer, compost and organic food cultivation and production and plays a supportive role in natural disaster and calamities. We also play a significant role in making linkage between farmers and their households and various government and non-government development organizations. Green The Environment (GTE) believes that the path towards conquering economic poverty is through enhancing the livelihood capability of the poor and giving them access to sustainable income-earning opportunities. In the process, the poor must be enabled to break free from their past, develop an alternative vision of their future and set achievable goals. They must be equipped with the technical, organizational, negotiating and networking skills that will facilitate the fulfillment of their goals. Today, some 220 professionals under GTE with the network of 5 branch offices are working in the remote rural areas of Bangladesh in which Chittagong hill tracks and haor area are noticeable.
