The people could meet their daily expenditures, sent their children to school, and expected that they could save money for an emergency health crisis. The majority of villagers depend on remittances from the cities or overseas. However, for the current global crisis, people are out of work. Income has halted. Based on the report of the Reuters, the COVID-19 pandemic was confirmed to have spread to Bangladesh on March 2020 after recognizing the first three known cases reported on March 7, 2020, by the Institute of Epidemiology, Disease Control and Research (IEDCR) of the country. [2] According to IEDCR, Bangladesh, the level of infections remained low at the end of March, although there was a precipitous rise in April. In the week ending April 16, new cases in Bangladesh grew 1155%, the highest in Asia, ahead of Indonesia with 186%. As of June 3, 2020, there are a total of 57 563 confirmed cases besides 12 161 recovered and 781 death cases. The novel coronavirus (COVID-2019) is spreading faster all over the country. The current situation imposes massive pressure on the government of Bangladesh, the general public, and healthcare, and medical providers. [3] The pandemic has brought not only the danger of death from the epidemiologic contagion but also an intolerable psychological burden to the people among the world [4,5] and Bangladesh is not out of the problems. The faster spread of the virus; strict isolation measures; and delays in starting schools, colleges, and universities across the country are anticipated to influence the psychology of university students.

Sustainability and sustainable development are currently viewed as issues of concern by society due to high levels of pollution and the measures taken, which often fail to prove their effectiveness. Sustainable and responsible development must be ingrained into the company's culture, and its policies, actions, and beliefs must all be in line with the company's values (Artene et al., 2020). Hence, companies have begun informing investors of their financial and nonfinancial impacts on social and environmental issues alongside their investment in corporate social responsibility (CSR) strategies (García-Sánchez et al., 2020).The punishment of unreasonable development methods of time and the exchange of environment for the economy is the most direct but fiercest counterattack made by the great persecution of the natural environment. Among the textile industry of Bangladesh, the knitwear and ready-made garments make the industry top of the country.Rather than textile industry, pharmaceuticals and chemicals, paper and printing, leather and footwear, steel industry, foods allied, energy, and cement industries have immense contribution in the economic development as well as environment pollution of Bangladesh (Masum et al., 2019;Paik et al., 2017).The environmental pollution incident has sounded the alarm for the sustainable development of Bangladeshi companies.

Based on the empirical data of heavily polluting companies in Bangladesh from 2010 to 2019, this paper conducts an empirical analysis of changes in the financial background of top management on the performance of social responsibilities of heavily polluting companies. Results from the analysis among 212 listed companies on the Dhaka Stock Exchange indicate a significant negative correlation between changes in the financial backgrounds of top management and their performance on social responsibilities. In heavily polluting firms, corporate social responsibility (CSR) performance will deteriorate after the takeover of a new financial expert CEO. Furthermore, the present study found that internal control has a significant negative and moderating effect on the above relationship. As a result, the higher the quality of internal control, the smaller the negative impact of the change in the turnover of financial expert CEO on CSR performance.

The number of older women are increasing more rapidly and it is estimated that by 2050, the number of elderly women over 60 years old will be 3.2 times that of 2000. Moreover, the number and rate of elderly women in cities where widowed life alone has increased. The study pays attention to the fragile and vulnerable group of urban elderly women. Hence, the purpose of the study to suggest psychological adjustment and guidance for ageing urban women. The study suggests that by adopting protective policies and measures in a targeted manner this problem can be resolved. It is not only a critical responsibility of the state and the government, but also the social responsibility of all sectors of society, including enterprises and non-profit sectors of society, and even every ordinary citizen to support the elderly women for making their rest of lives happier and enjoyable.
