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 offices of BBS actively participated in preparation of the report.
I thank them all. Finally, I thank Mr. Nasir Uddin Ahmmed, Deputy Director & Focal Point and
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.

plain. The piedmonts plain in the northern part of the district is a gentle sloping landscape mainly consisting
of loamy sediments subject to shallow flooding. In the central part, the soil contains blush silty clay of the
Surma, Kushiara old flood plain Basin.
River System: The main rivers and rivulets flowing through the district are the Surma, the Kushiyara, the
Kamarkhali, the Kalni, the Nokunda, the Bowai, the Nitai, the Sonai, the Gunai, the Somesswari and the
Nawa. Most of them are the principal tributaries of the two main rivers viz. the Surma and the Kushiyara
which are non-tidal and navigable throughout the year by country boats. The flowing length of the rivers is
about 195 kms (120 miles).
Archaeological Heritage and Relics: Bagbari Tila (Chhatak upazila), Selbarash Jame Mosque, Sukhair
Kalibari Temple, Kahala Kalibari, Tanguar Haor, Maheshkhala Kalibari (Dharmapasha upazila), remnants
of the palace of Raja Bijoy Singh (16th century, Tahirpur upazila).
Historical Events: Nankar Rebellion of Sukhair in 1922-23 is notable. Many political leaders and activists
of Sunamganj were involved in the anti-British movement. The leftist movement spread over the district
after the partition of 1947. During the war of liberation many encounters were occurred between the
freedom fighters and the occupied Pakistani army; Sunamganj was liberated on 6 December 1971. In 1336
Bangla Saal (Bengali year) a devastating flood happened as a consequence of breaking down a dam in
Manipur, India. This flood is popularly known as 'White Water Flood'. A pernicious earthquake on 12 June
1897 caused heavy loss of lives and establishments.
Economic Situation: The economy of Sunamganj is predominantly agricultural. Out of total 387,205
holdings of the district, 53.39 % holdings are farms that produce varieties of crops, namely, local and HYV
rice, wheat, vegetables, jute, spices, cash crops, pulses, oil seeds and others. Various fruits like pineapple,
3
banana, mango, guava, jackfruit, black berries, coconut, orange, dates etc. are grown. Specially pineapples
and oranges grow in abundance. Fish of different varieties are caught from rivers, tributary channels, creeks,
and haors and even from paddy fields during the rainy season. Besides crops, livestock and fishery are the
main sources of household income.
Non-farm activities are not very much significant in Sunamganj. According to 2001-03 Census of Non-farm
economic activities, the broad types of non-farm activities are still in a developing stage. The following
table shows total establishments in the urban and rural areas and person engaged by sex and activity in
Sunamganj. According to the table, there are 37,539 establishments in the district, in which 99,660 persons
are engaged in different types of non-farm activities. Female participation in non-farm activities is very
poor. They constitute about 5.4% as against 94.6% of the males. Wholesale & retail trade emerges as the
single largest activity (57.4%) with 21,530 establishments and 46,460 person engaged (46.3%) in
Sunamganj district.

Main Crop: Boro and Aman paddy.

Main Fruits: Mango, orange, pineapple, banana.
Mineral Resources: Natural gas, limestone and stone.
Other Resources and Products: Fish, dry fish, cement, paper pulp etc.
Flora: The district is famous for a good number of haors within it, those are like big natural lakes, not deep.
Most of them become dry during the winter season. During the winter a haor looks like a vast, almost
limitless stretch of green land and in the rainy season vast sea of turbulent water. These are big land
depression where water accumulates during the rains and stands for about 8 months and a few of them
throughout the year. Most of the big haors of Sylhet region are in the Sunamganj areas. Due to the existence
of such characteristics, the plants and trees grown the area are altogether different from those growing in
other parts of the district. Though more than 90% of tea gardens of Bangladesh are located in Sylhet region
but this district has got a very limited contribution to it. The topography and the climate of the district are
suitable for the growth of pineapples which is an important juicy fruit of the country. Pineapples (Ananus
comosus) of big size are grown here and they serve a substantial part of Bangladesh. The cultivators earn a
huge amount of money by selling this delicious fruit.
Mango (Mangifera indica), black berry (Syzygium cumini) jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus), banana
(Musa sapientum), coconut (Cocos nucifera), orange (Citrus reticulata), papaya (Carica papaya), palm
(Borassus flabellifer), lichi (Litchi chinensis), date palm (Phoenix sylvestris), guava (Psidium gauajava),
wood apple (Aegle marmelos) are grown in the district. A good variety of flower plants like rose (Rosa
hybrida), palash (Butea monosperna), shimul (Bombax ceiba), krisnachura (Delonix regia), chameli
(Jasminum pubescus) are found all over the district. There are several small hills covered with green grass
and bamboo (Bambusa bambos) bushes, sungrass and bamboo trees are abundant all over the district.
The most valuable timber trees, viz. jarul (Legerstroemia speciosa), chapalish (Artocarpus chapalish),
gundri (Cinamonum glauduliforum), kurta (Sida acuta), rata (Dysoxyhnm bineectrari ferum) and poma
(Cerdrela toona) are largely available in the district, and are used for construction of house and boats. Simul
(Bombax ceiba), mango (Mangifera indica), kadam (Anthocephalus cadamba) and Harish (Albizzsa
stipalata) are converted into tea boxes. The following trees, viz. shundi (Mechelin sp), ping (Cynometra
polenjandra), sheel koroy (Albizzia procera), karal (Dipterocarpus sh), siturijat Eenchinocarpus titiacons)
and also Jam or black berry (Syzygium cumini), jamir or nebu (Citrus limettoides) murai, kai-engle, banak,
Jackfruit (Artocarpus heteraphyllus), hartakey (Terminalia chebula), bazang, barun, hizal (Barringtonia
acutangula) and kuma are also found in abundance in the district. Some of these trees and plants normally
do not grow in most of the district in Bangladesh.
Fauna: About 100 years ago elephants were found in the hilly area of the district. Gradually they turned
rare and ultimately vanished. Wild boar (Sus scrofa) is bound in the district. Various kinds of wild birds
have increased its beauty. More birds of different colour, size and habits are found here. Teasing birds like
crow (Corvus macrorhynchos) and kite or chil (Haliaster Indus) are found in good number. Game birds
namely dove (Streptopelia chinensis), pegion (Columba livia), snipe heron (Ardeola grayii) and pankoyri
(Phalacrococan niger) are found all over the district. Song birds like cuckoo (Cuculus microplerus), doel
(Copsychus saularis), mayna (Acridotheres tristis) and nightangle are found in different seasons. The
5
cuckoo, the most popular song bird comes to our country at the beginning of the spring; many migratory
birds come from foreign land during autumn and winter. Hen, duck (Aythya fuligula), pigeon (Columba
livia) are the domestic birds found almost in every household of the district. Snipe or kada khucha
(Gallinago gallinago), jungle fowl (Galllus gallus murghi) and marsh partidges are also found in various
parts of the district.
A large variety of indigenous fishes including carps and many smaller species are available in the district.
Fish is an essential staple and plays a very important role in the economy of the area particularly of the hoar
area. In the fresh water, the popular species are ruhi (Labeo rohita), katla (Catla catla), mrigel (Cirrhinus
mrigala), kalbaous (Labeo calbasu), airh (Mystus aor), ghania ( Labeo gonius ), shoil (Channa striatus),
boal (wallago attu), gazar (channa marulius), gulsha (Mystus bleekeri), koi (Anabas testudineus), shing
(Heteropneustes fossilis), mirror carp (Cyprinus carpio), silver carp (Hypophthalmicthys molitrix), grass
carp (Cteopharyngodon idella) and magur (Clarias batrachus), etc.

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.
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.
7
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 Census year and reference period
The census year extends over twelve consecutive months having for different census items the different
reference periods or days of data collections. Some items have a year or week reference period. Some others
have a specific reference day.
The census year covered twelve months from 1 Baishak to 30 Choitra, 1414 Bangla Shal (BS). This year
was the reference period for such census items as operated land use, crops, agriculture employment,
livestock & poultry deaths and agriculture loan. A single reference day was used for items like holdings,
farm size, land tenure, farm population, livestock & poultry inventories and agriculture implements.
The different census items by their reference periods or days are shown below:
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.
Tenant holdings are those having no owned land but operating land taken from others on share cropping
basis or on other terms.
8
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.
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.
Cattle and Buffalo
Cattle and buffalo heads owned by households on day of enumeration were counted.
Goats and Sheep
9
Goats and sheep owned by households on day of enumeration were counted.

Fowls, Ducks and Pigeons
Fowls, ducks, and pigeons owned by households on day of enumeration were counted.
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
Cereals
Main cereals are rice and then wheat. Other cereals are jab, barley, cheena, maize, kaun, bajra and joar.
Pulses
Main and common pulses are gram, mung, lentil, arhar, gari kalai, khesari and pea.
