The sustainable economic development of a country stands on the sufficiency of electrical energy. So, to compete with the rest of the world, Bangladesh should have sufficient electricity facilities to carry on its economic development. To make a country a developed one, the facilities of electricity should be reached from door to door. As Bangladesh is an agricultural country, several kinds of agricultural wastes are available here. So, this huge amount of agricultural waste can be a source of electricity generation in Bangladesh. Rice husk is one of the potential agro wastes which can be used as raw material to generate electricity, only if it can be processed properly and systematically.  The purpose of this paper is to make available an idea of electricity generation from rice husk in the rural areas of Bangladesh. The rice husk based small & medium power plants are very much useful to generate & supply electricity in the rural areas. In this paper the availability of rice husk in Bangladesh, the different feasibility studies and the main process which can be used to generate electricity from rice husk are discussed. The main purpose of this paper is to assist the journey of Bangladesh towards development. This paper will help both the Govt. & private sector to establish rice husk based power plant in rural areas of Bangladesh. Finally it is hoped that this paper will be a suitable guideline to mitigate the huge demand of electricity in the rural areas of Bangladesh.
