UPAZILA ADMINISTRATION

UPAZILA ADMINISTRATION

The aim of every government is to build up the foundation of development activities in the possible way. Upazilla administration is one of the steps of the present Bangladesh government like this.

For the well-being of the common people of our country and minimising the distance between the administration and general mass the Upazilla administration programme has been given to priority. In this programme, the public representatives of the locality will get change to take part in their administration and local development affairs. To this end in view all than as of Bangladesh have been upgraded and named them Upazillas.
The chairman of Upazilla is selected by the direct votes of people for five years. He is the head of Upazilla Parishad. The Upazilla Nirbahi Officer (UNO) is its secretary. All the heads of different offices of the Upazilla and all the chairman of the union councils are the members of the parishad.
Bangladesh consists of 68 thousand villages. So, the development of Bangladesh is entirely dependent on the development of these villages. In the present system of administration the Upazilla is the centre of administration within its jurisdiction. So the local administration can get chance to determine its needs and to solve its problems. Every Upazilla has its own economic plane.
There are some demerits also of the Upazilla. Various classes of officers are not able to run their activities with free. Because they are influenced by many local big guns. The number of people cannot get real judgment in many times.

The Upazilla administration bids fair to build up a developed and happy Bangladesh. So we should co-operate with the government in the way of our desirable aim of developing villages.
