Three rural development models for small farm agricultural areas in low income nations; some results from Comilla, Bangladesh

The models are for (1) effective agricultural cooperatives, (2) the improvement of rural government, and (3) for a social science institution which conducts pilot operations, training, and research in rural development. In a broader social science framework, development programs require analysis in the framework of cultural and economic change. The role of models such as the three analyzed here is to provide ways to accelerate change at a productive rate toward desired goals.
