This book investigates the feasibility and environmental-economic implications of relocating the Hazaribagh tannery complex in Bangladesh. It examines the complex interplay between industrial development, environmental degradation, and economic viability, particularly focusing on the challenges and opportunities presented by such a significant industrial move within the specific context of Bangladesh. The analysis aims to determine whether the proposed relocation is a practical solution or merely an unachievable aspiration, considering the socio-economic and ecological factors involved.

This work is likely to be of interest to academics, policymakers, and environmental economists focusing on industrial development in South Asia. The detailed analysis of the Hazaribagh tannery situation provides a specific case study for broader discussions on environmental policy and economic transition in developing nations. The book's focus on the 'myth or reality' aspect suggests a critical examination of the practicalities and potential outcomes of such a large-scale industrial relocation.
