# Chitra Katha photo poster No. 10: Deep-sea fishing and a village farmer (Bengali photo poster distributed in Dacca)

A Bengali photo sheet with nine photographs in two stories. The top story shows East Pakistani fishermen working from a diesel-engined vessel, 'Diamond Jubilee', with nylon nets and motor launches provided under a U.S.-aided scheme. The lower story follows a smallholder, Abdul Malek Sheikh, growing vegetables with advice from the Daulatpur rural development centre. The tell is plain-folks and card-stacking: named ordinary workers and only successful results are shown.
