Foreword

I am delighted to learn that Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS) has successfully completed the

‘District Statistics 2011’ under Medium-Term Budget Framework (MTBF). The initiative of publishing

‘District Statistics 2011’ has been undertaken considering the importance of district and upazila level

data in the process of determining policy, strategy and decision-making. The basic aim of the activity is

to publish the various priority statistical information and data relating to all the districts of Bangladesh.

The data are collected from various upazilas belonging to a particular district.

The Government has been preparing and implementing various short, medium and long term plans and

programs of development in all sectors of the country in order to realize the goals of Vision 2021. For

any pragmatic approach in formulating and evaluating development plans and programs reliable

statistics are indispensible. BBS has been performing the major responsibility of supplying

comprehensive and accurate statistics at the national level.

The present government, in line with its commitment to decentralize administration, has declared

upazila as the focal point of administration regenerating upazila parishad through participatory

elections. However, upazila level official statistics are still very inadequate. It is praiseworthy that BBS

has undertaken timely program of publishing ‘District Statistics 2011’ where data representing socio -economic characteristics of upazilas of all districts will be available. I am confident that this publication

will be of invaluable help to the planners, administrators, researchers, field level officers as well as

other users. Various government, non-government and international organizations closely related to

policy formulation and implementation may also find this publication useful.

I sincerely thank Mr. Golam Mostafa Kamal, Director General, BBS for bringing out the publication of

‘District Statistics 2011’. I hope that in future ‘District Statistics’ will be published in much more

improved form to make it more effective and informative.

Preface

The ‘District Statistics 2011’ is mainly a compilation work of Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS).

The decentralization policy of government has enhanced demand for timely, qualitative and

comprehensive statistical data both for administrative and development requirements. The major

regular publications of Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics like Statistical Pocketbook of Bangladesh,

Statistical Yearbook of Bangladesh and Agricultural Yearbook of Bangladesh provide aggregate data

mainly at the national and regional level. Data for smaller administrative unit like upazila often remains

absent in such publications. The ‘District Statistics 2011’ emphasises to provide upazila level data. The ‘District Statistics 2011’ provides both structural and flow-type information of almost all of the

priority sectors of our national economy depending on data availability both from published and

unpublished sources.

The publication of ‘District Statistics 2011’ would have not been feasible without the wholehearted

co-operation of the various government, semi-government, autonomous, non-government offices and

other organizations. In particular, the district and upazila level officials extended their total support and

supplied all data. I like to express my sincere thanks to them and hope such co-operation will continue

in future.

I am obliged and grateful to Mr. Md. Nojibur Rahman, Secretary, Statistics and Informatics Division

(SID) for his enormous support and advice to prepare and to finalize this important publication. Mysincere thanks also go to all officers of SID for their wholehearted support and sincere co-operation

towards accomplishing this document.

I acknowledge the contributions of Mr. Md. Mizanur Rahman, Deputy Director General, BBS and Mr.

Ghose Subobrata, Director, FA & MIS, BBS during development of the Document.

The regional and upazila statistics officers of BBS actively participated in preparation of the report. I

thank them all. Finally, I thank Mr. Iftekhairul Karim, Focal Point Officer and Mr. Nasir Uddin

Ahmmed, Deputy Director & Ex.Focal Point Officer as well as staff members of Bangladesh Bureau of

Statistics for their untiring efforts in making the ‘District Statistics 2011’ a success. Through user’s

interaction and feedback, we hope to improve the coverage and quality of information contained in this

edition. Any suggestion for improvement of the publication will be highly appreciated.

District at a Glance

Background: Dhaka is the capital of Bangladesh and is known as the city of mosques. Dhaka

district is situated almost at the middle place of the country. Dhaka (city) stands on the bank of the

river Buriganga. There are several myths on the origin of the name Dhaka. One is that the namecame following the establishment of Dhakeshwari temple by Raja Ballal Sena in the 12th century

CE and Dhakeswari is the name of a Goddess. While others say that Dhakeshwari stands the

meaning of Goddess of Dhaka; so the temple must have been named after the region. Anothermyths says that the Dhak (a membranophone instrument) is used as part of the Durga Puja festival

in this temple and hence the name Dhaka. Yet another one says it came from the plant named Dhak

(Buttea Frondosa) which was widely found in that area.The more credible one comes from thesource of Rajatarangini written by a Kashmiri Brahman, Kalhana. It says the region was originally

known as Dhakka. The word Dhakka means watchtower. Bikrampur and Sonargaon — the earlier

strongholds of Bengal rulers were situated nearby. Dhaka was most likely used as the watchtower

for the fortification purpose.

Historical Events: Historically Dhaka was ruled by the Hindu Kings. The Pala and the Sena

dynasties ruled Dhaka for many years. It was not until early fourteenth century when the Muslim

rulers began to come to Bengal. Dhaka was made the capital of Bengal in 1608 and Islam Khan

renamed Dhaka as Jahangirnagar after the name of Emperor Jahangir. In the eighteenth centuryDhaka lost political importance when Murshid Quli Khan transferred the capital of Bengal from

Dhaka to Murshidabad. But Dhaka never lost its commercial importance.

Dhaka is very closely related with the politics of the post 1947 political history. Among them

Language Movement in 1952, Six-point Programme in 1966, Mass upsurge in 1969, historicspeech of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman on 7 March 1971, signing the document of

surrender of Pak Army on 16 December 1971, etc are mentionable. During the War of Liberation

the Pak army conducted massive killings and plundering in Dhaka. Once indigo was being

cultivated centring round Joypara of Dohar upazila of this district. During 1920s, the people ofDhaka were seriously influenced by the Non Co-operation Movement led by Mahatma Gandhi.

Avay Ashram was established at Dohar in 1922-23 following the ideals of Gandhi. The All India

Convention of Gandhi Seba Sangha was held at village Malikandha of Dohar upazila in 1940. On

this occasion Gandhi came here and stayed for two days.

Concepts and Definitions

Population and Housing Census 2011

The population and housing census is the unique source of reliable and comprehensive data about

the size of the population of the country, major socio-economic and socio-demographic

characteristics.It is the total process of collecting, compiling, evaluating, analyzing and publishing or otherwise

disseminating demographic, economic and social data pertaining, at a specified time, to all personsin a country. The essential features of a population census are individual enumeration, universality

within a defined territory, simultaneity and defined periodicity.

The population and housing census provides information on the geographic and administrative

distribution of the population and household in addition to the demographic and socioeconomic

characteristics of all the people in the country. The data from the census are classified, tabulated

and disseminated so that political leaders, election officials, planners, national organizationsincluding NGOs and civil society, regional and international organizations can use the data in

decision-making.

The purpose of community report is to disseminate census data by communities (ward/mahalla in

urban area and union/mauza/village in rural area). Data on all key variables namely area,household, population by sex and age group, ethnic population, literacy rate, marital status, school

attendance, employment status and religion as well as physical facilities such as source of drinking

water, sanitation, electricity and dwelling units have been presented in this report. The planners,

researchers and policy makers as well as development partners and community administrators willfind this report as a valuable reference for use in advising plans and programs for advancing

welfare and well-being of the common people, in particular and the community in general.

Household

Persons, either related or unrelated, living together and taking food from the same kitchenconstitute a household. A single person living and eating alone forms one-person household.

Literacy

It denotes ability to write a letter in any language. Literacy status assessment is made for

population 7 years and over.

Community

It refers to the following five lower geographic, administrative or revenue units:

i) Union: Smallest administrative rural geographic unit comprising of mauzas and villages and

having union parishad institution.

ii) Mauza: Mauza is the lowest administrative unit having a separate jurisdiction list number (J.L. No.) in revenue records. Every mauza has its well-demarcated cadastral map. Mauza should be

distinguished from local village since a mauza may consist of one or more villages.

iii) Village: Lowest rural geographic unit either equivalent to a mauza or part of a mauza.

iv) Ward: Smallest administrative urban geographic unit comprising of mahallas and having ward

council institution.

v) Mahalla: Lowest urban geographic unit having identifiable boundaries.

10

Urban Area

It corresponds with area developed around a central place having such amenities as metalled roads,

improved communication, electricity, gas, water supply, sewerage, sanitation and also havingcomparatively higher density of population with majority population in non-agricultural

occupations.

i) City Corporation: It includes city corporation area declared by the Ministry of Local

Government.

ii) Paurashava/Municipality Area: It includes paurashavas incorporated and administered by

local government under Paurashava Ordinance, 1977.

Agriculture holding

An agriculture holding is a techno-economic unit of agricultural production under singlemanagement comprising all livestock kept and all land used wholly or partly for agricultural

production purposes without regard to title, legal form or size. Single management may be

exercised by either an individual holder or jointly by two or more individuals or holders or by a judicial person such as a corporation, co-operative or government agency. A holding may consist

of one or more parcels (fragments of land) located in one or more areas or mauzas or in more than

one administrative unit or division provided that all separate parcels of fragments form parts of

same technical unit under operational control of same management.

The definition covers practically all holdings/households engaged in agricultural production of both crops and livestock. Some agriculture holdings may have no significant agricultural land, e.g.

holdings keeping livestock, poultry and hatcheries for which land is not an indispensable input for

production.

Farm holding

A farm holding is defined as being an agricultural production unit having cultivated land equal toor more than 0.05 acres. Farm holdings are classified into following three broad groups:

(a) small: Farm holdings having minimum cultivated land 0.05 acre but operated land more than

this minimum but upto 2.49 acres.

(b) medium: Farm holdings having operated land in between 2.50 to 7.49 acres.

(c) large: Farm holdings having operated land 7.50 acres and above.

Small cultivated land 0.04 acre or less is generally used for kitchen garden growing mainly

vegetables. Often seeds of white gourd, water gourd, pumpkin and other strains are sown onhouseholds; but these creepers spread out around house roofs and other structures. As such, the

minimum cultivated land considered for qualifying to be a farm holding is 0.05 acres.

Non-farm holdings

A non-farm holding is defined as being the one which has neither cultivated nor operated land or

has cultivated land less than 0.05 acre.

Tenancy

Owner holdings are those having and operating their owned land and who may or may not be

leasing out land.

8/18/2019 Dhaka bbs 2011

11

Tenant holdings are those having no owned land but operating land taken from others on share

cropping basis or on other terms.

Owner-cum-tenant holdings are those having owned land and who may or may not be leasing out

their own land to others and who may be taking land from others on share cropping basis or on

other terms.

Agriculture work

Agriculture work signifies all activities of holder and his/her labour force doing planning,

management, and operation of a holding. It includes land preparation, sowing, weeding, harvesting,feeding and tending livestock & poultry, kitchen gardening, supervising agricultural workers,

keeping farm records & accounts, preparing agriculture products for marketing (including

packaging), repairing farm equipment, constructing farm buildings & fences, and engaging in land

reclamation and improvement and other related activities. It excludes home and other familydomestic chores.

The pond area remains under water almost through out the year. Normally, households use pondwater for various domestic and sometimes agriculture purposes. Ponds are also generally used for

fish culture.

In the census the pond area data were collected separately for both single ownership and joint

ownership of households.

Area under temporary crops

It is the land area planted to crops having growing cycle or length of life less than one year. These

are the temporary crops such as paddy, wheat, jute, cotton, tobacco, sugarcane, pulses, oil seeds,

potato, vegetables and other seasonal crops. A list of temporary crops for which data werecollected separately was given in back page of “Tally Sheet”. The minimum area recorded for a

temporary crop was 0.01 acre. Area under temporary crops and temporary-crops net area areequivalents.

Area under permanent crops

It is the land area planted to crops which remain standing for a long period of time and do not needto be replanted after a seasonal harvest. Mango, jackfruit, coconut, guava, lemon, and other fruit

varieties are all permanent crops.

Current fallow

It is land brought into cultivation but left out uncultivated in census year for fertility regaining and

improvement or for other reasons.

Net cultivated areaThis is land area actually cropped during the census year regardless of number of crops grown plus

current fallow. It includes areas under temporary and permanent crops and also current fallow.

Permanent fallow

It is land not available for cultivation due to coming into residence and commercial & other uses.

Play ground, graveyard, wild shrubs and jungles, marshy land, and the like fall in this category.

Irrigated area

This is area of total land brought under irrigation coverage for growing crops with irrigations done

through mechanical or manual means. Irrigated area classifications fall into two categories: (1)

surface water irrigation with main water sources being rivers, canals, beels, ponds, and other water

bodies; and (2) underground water irrigation with water lifted by shallow tube-wells, deep tube-

wells, and country traditional devices. The irrigation equipments are run by electricity, diesel or petrol, or manual labour.

Temporary crops gross area

Areas aggregated for all temporary crops grown in the census year have made temporary cropsgross area greater than temporary crops net area since the latter has within it the same land

cropped more than once in different seasons of a year.

Intensity of cropping

It is percentage of temporary crops gross area in comparison with temporary crops net area. It is

expressed as follows:

Intensity of cropping =areanetcropsTemporaryareagrosscropsTemporary × 100
