Disappointed
Generally, while reading newspapers I skim and select topics to read them thoroughly later. I found an article in the DS of Jan 11, 2004 issue "Moving above and beyond poverty line" by Mr Rushidan Islam Rahman, an economist and Research Director of BIDS. I am taking interest in reading articles relating to 'reaching the poor' and to issues concerning poverty. Seeing the title "Moving above and beyond poverty line" I was sure some new dimensions, thoughts, findings were there since the title was different from his previous article on poverty "Beyond poverty line" published in the DS on December 9, 2003.
Unfortunately, in the new article I found exactly the same contents used in the previous article but under a different title.
I am wondering why he did that , if there is nothing new then why publish the already published material. Is it to refresh readers' mind on the issue? Whatever might have been the purpose, it killed my time.
