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. My
sincere 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.

Dhaka District
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 name
came 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. Another
myths 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 the
source 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.
Geographic Area and Location: Dhaka district is surrounded on the north by Gazipur and Tangail
districts, on the east by Narayanganj district, on the south by Munshinganj and Faridpur districts
and on the west by Manikganj district. It lies between 23º53' and 24º06' north latitudes and between
90º01' and 90º37' east longitudes. The total area of the district is 1463.60 sq. km. (565.00 sq.
miles).
Administration: Dhaka district was established in 1772. The district consists of 6 upazila and 41
thanas, 86 unions, 974 mauzas, 1999 villages, 2 city corporations, 92 city wards, 855 city mahallas,
3 paurashavas, 27 wards and 133 mahallas. The upazilas are Dhamrai, Dohar, Keraniganj,
Nawabganj and Savar. It consists of forty one thanas namely Adabor, Gulshan, New Market,
Badda, Pallabi, Hazaribag, Bimanbandar, Cantonment, Demra, Dhanmondi, Kafrul, Kamrangir
Char, Khilgaon, Sutrapur, Tejgaon, Shyampur, Kotwali, Lalbagh, Mirpur, Mohammadpur,
Motijheel, Uttara, Ramna, Sabujbagh, Bangshal, Chak Bazar, Dakshinkhan, Darus Salam,
Gendaria, Jatrabari, Kadamtali, Kalabagan, Khilkhet, Paltan, Rampura, Shah Ali, Shahbagh, Sher-
E-Bangla Nagar, Tejgaon Industrial Area, Turag and Uttar Khan.
Township: Dhaka municipality was established in 1864 and was turned into a Town Committee in
1960. The name of the Town Committee was changed to Dhaka Municipality in 1972. It was
turned into a Municipal Corporation in 1983. Finally it was elevated to City Corporation in 1991.
Dhaka is the capital city of Bangladesh. Other important establishments include Bangladesh
Supreme Court, High Court, Judge Court, Diplomatic Missions of many countries, Bangladesh
Secretariat, National Museum, National Zoo, and head offices of various sectors and corporations,
government departments, business houses and NGOs.
River System: The main rivers flowing through the Dhaka district are the Padma, the Burigangha,
the Dhaleswari and the Turag. Among the rivers, the Padma, the Buriganga, the Dhaleshwari and
the Turag are very important and almost navigable throughout the year. The small rivers are the
Bangshi, Turag, Balu, Elamjani, Alam, Bherujkha, Ramkrishnadi, Elisamari, Tulsikhali etc.

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 century
Dhaka 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, historic
speech 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 of
Dhaka 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.
Marks of the War of Liberation: Mass grave: near Kalampur Bazar (Dhamrai), South Kamlapur
(Dhaka), National Martyrs' Memorial (Savar), mass killing site at Rayerbazar, Memorial
Monument for intellectuals at Mirpur, Central Shaheed Minar, Amar Ekushey and Sangsaptak
Sculptures (Jahangirnagar University), Aparajeyo Bangla and Soparjita Swadhinata (Dhaka
University), Shahid Jahangir Gate, etc are marks of the war of liberation of Dhaka district.
Economic Situation: The economy of Dhaka rural area is agro-based and Dhaka urban area is
industry based. Out of total 2,266,479 holdings of the district 10.65% holdings are farms, which
produce varieties of crops, namely, local and HYV rice, wheat, jute, tobacco, potato vegetables,
spices, pulses etc. Various fruits like mango, jackfruit, lichee, black berry, palm betel-nut, banana
etc. are the main fruits of the District. Varieties of fish are caught from rivers, beels and paddy
fields during rainy season. The most common fishes are ruhi, katla, mrigel, magur, singi , koi, puti,
shoil, gazar, boal, etc. All these fishes are economically valuable. Besides these common varieties,
some other well-known varieties of fish are pangash, airh, bacha, rita batasi, khalisha and chingri
are found. Besides crops, livestock and poultry are the subsidiary source of household income of
the District.
Non-farm activities are very much significant in Dhaka district. The following table-1 shows the
total establishments in the urban and rural areas and persons engaged by sex and activity in Dhaka
district.

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 persons
in 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 organizations
including 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 will
find 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 kitchen
constitute 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.
9
Dhaka District
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 having
comparatively 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 single
management 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 to
or 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 on
households; 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.
10
Dhaka District
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 family
domestic chores.
Area under pond
The pond area remains under water almost through out the year. Normally, households use pond
water 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 were
collected 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 are
equivalents.
Area under permanent crops
It is the land area planted to crops which remain standing for a long period of time and do not need
to 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 area
This 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.
11
Dhaka District
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 crops
gross 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:
Temporary crops gross area
Intensity of cropping = × 100
Temporary crops net area
